Lei. E enquanto estava ali, os filhos de Israel se rebelaram contra Deus e contra o guru. Nas Tábuas estavam inscritas as alianças que Deus estabeleceria com um povo santo. Elas continham instruções amplas e detalhadas que descreviam como um povo patrocinado por Sanat Kumara deve seguir a senda do discipulado, subordinando-se à Lei e ao guru. | |||
The children of Israel were called to be a holy people, but they were not embodying the holiness of God at that time. In Moses’ absence, they worshiped the golden calf. When Moses descended the mountain and saw the people’s stubbornness and their embracing of the god of materialism, he broke the tablets. The detailed covenants were thereby lost and later replaced with ten simple commandments, which God inscribed on a second set of tablets. The people’s test would then be the “test of the ten,” which is the test of the solar-plexus chakra.<ref>Sanat Kumara gives a detailed account of this episode in Moses’ mission in {{OSS}}, pp. 33–39.</ref> | The children of Israel were called to be a holy people, but they were not embodying the holiness of God at that time.
