Make The Inner Transformation Manifest
I don't think any human individual can codify or give rules for conduct;
they are so simple to be followed. What is the missing one? Our willingness.
Our acceptance of the fact that we have to change. Transformation means total
transformation. It doesn't mean only the inner transformation. This is a very
convenient way of interpreting transformation, by saying that if the inside
is transformed, it is good enough. The outside need not conform to it. Inside
transformation benefits us. Outside transformation may perhaps not benefit
us, which is a lurking fear in us. We don't want to be straight, we don't
want to be moral, we don't want to be above corruption, because we are afraid
we may lose our income, we may lose our position in society.
When Master has assured inner transformation and in His
benign grace He is prepared to forgive our sins of commission
and omission, day after day, why on earth should I be moral?
Why on earth should I not be corrupt? This is the question
each man is asking himself and finds a very convenient answer
in saying, "Yes, my dear friend, go on. Babuji is ever
forgiving." Let us no longer live in this fool's paradise.
Lalaji was bold enough to write that however high a man
may have reached in spirituality, whatever elevation he
may have achieved, even to the highest possible extent,
if he was immoral, even the breath of spirituality has not
touched him. This is the statement of the Grand Master.
So Master expected of us that we would grow out of the
childish innocence and become responsible adults to whom
the Mission could be entrusted, to whom their personal spiritual
growth could be entrusted, to whom the transformation of
the external self could be entrusted, because Babuji said,
"The inner change I can bring about. The outer is
your responsibility." He never undertook the responsibility
of outer change. He said, "Behaviour you have to correct;
morals and ethics you have to develop. This is your work
upon yourself; you know what to do. There is nothing difficult
about it." Changing the inner, nobody else can do;
it needs a Master.
