Moses : (14th -13th cent BC) the greatest lawgiver of Israel, he led his people out of bondage in Egypt to the edge of Canaan. God promulgated the Law through Moses, not only the Ten Commandments & the criminal code, but the whole liturgical law as well. The Law he promulgated is called the Mosaic Law. “The power to observe law rigidly is the basis of freedom; therefore in most disciplines the soul has to endure & fulfil the law in its lower members before it can rise to the perfect freedom of its divine being. Those disciplines which begin with freedom are only for the mighty ones who are naturally free or in former lives have founded their freedom.” ― “The double law of sin & virtue is imposed on us because we have not that ideal life & knowledge within, which guides the soul spontaneously & infallibly to its self-fulfilment. The law of sin & virtue ceases for us when the sun of God shines upon the soul in truth & love with its unveiled splendour. Moses is replaced by Christ, the Shāstra by the Veda.” [SABCL 17:98-99]
