EXPLANATION OF THE FIFTEEN COMMANDMENTS
<1>The Fifteen Commandments will be described in very brief paragraphs, although each paragraph could be expanded much further. However, there are many other writings available to the Divines which will help them in expanding the meanings of these Commandments through exploring those truths.
<2>Also the Ten Commandments given in the Bible (Exodus chapter 20) are covered in these descriptions to show that the Ten Commandments are a part of the Fifteen Commandments and are not discredited or destroyed by them.
Five General Commandments
1- Submission: <3>The Divine Father in heaven is One, Invisible, Nameless, and the Greatest:
a. <4>Only the Invisible, Nameless, Shapeless God can unify. Any other kind of God will divide. That is why He is called the God of Abraham, Isaac, etc., with no name or visibility. <5>However, all beautiful names which are related to His attributes in the universe are His.
b. <6>Even if God Himself comes to the earth, He would not reveal His identity because that would create disunity.
c. <7>The first three of the Ten Commandments are related to this Commandment:
(1) Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
(2) Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
(3) Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain [He is the Greatest]. His only true name is His Sacred Name!
2- Surrendering: <8>Do not go to complete prostration (submit) to anyone or thing except Him, the words revealed through His Prophets, and The Greatest Sign, which clarifies the confusion between all.
a. <9>To surrender to anyone else but Him causes us to follow that person's whims and desires, which might not be the Will of God. <10>But surrendering only to Him takes us completely out of the influences of this external world and Maya. He then becomes our only Lord and King, so we will follow Him and His Will.
b. <11>Also because we might not know what His Will is, we surrender ourselves to the words which are revealed to us through His Prophets, which are really His Words, especially the Prophets of the seven seals in The Greatest Sign.
c. <12>Also we surrender ourselves to the meaning behind The Greatest Sign, which clarifies the confusion between the words revealed to us through His Prophets. <13>If we do not follow The Greatest Sign, then we will become confused about the revelations of the many Prophets and their apparent differences.
d. <14>The Commandment "Thou shalt not bow down thyself to other gods, nor serve them" is covered with this Commandment. The words "to bow down" here mean to surrender because we serve only those to whom we surrender.
3- Goal of the Life: <15>Remember the goal of the life, which is to reach Pure Consciousness and help others to reach the same.
<16>That is the highest goal in human life. Other goals in life are secondary and less important than this one, but they might still be necessary, especially when they help us in this goal.
4- Messengers: <17>Consider the Prophets, Satgurus, Avatars or likewise as God's Messengers to bring His Messages and Laws to humanity.
a. <18>We should surrender ourselves to the words revealed to us through His Prophets, but not to the Prophets themselves. The Prophets, Gurus, Avatars, or likewise are important because they show us His Will, not because of themselves.
b. <19>Also, even if the Lord God Himself came to the earth He would not reveal His identity as a person, because that would bring disunity between humans. <20>That is why God emphasizes that we should worship Him as the Invisible, Nameless, Formless God. With this, humanity will become unified.
c. <21>Furthermore, the Prophets, Avatars, Gurus, etc., are not their bodies but are the invisible Souls, which are one with Him. But if we mistake them as God, then we will create disunity, because of their apparent shapes, names, and visible bodies.
<22>For the same reason, idol worshipping should be prohibited, especially because the idols do not even have the invisible Souls as Gurus, Prophets, etc., have.
5- Elects: <23>Accept Paravipras as the Chosen Ones to establish and enforce the Laws, spread the Messages of God, and establish the Kingdom Of Heaven.
a. <24>Paravipras are the implementers of the Will of the Lord.
b. <25>They are the spiritual beings (Brahmins) with Shudran, Ksattriyan, Vipran, and Vaeshyan abilities.
c. <26>They have gone through many incarnations in the last twelve thousand years or before to reach this level of mastery.
d. <27>They prefer to be incarnated again and again to help the whole universe to reach the goal (Pure Consciousness) rather than themselves individually reaching it. They are true Bodhisattvas.
