A person who does not have dreadlocks and tells a lie will be punished much, much less than a person
who has dreadlocks and tells the same lie."
Most people in today's modern societies have not even heard of the seventy-seven commandments, much
less follow them. Even students on the journey of initiation are not able to follow all of the commandments
all of the time... this puts everyone who has not reached a certain level of purity and spirituality at a huge
risk if they have locked hair. Lying, gossiping, talking too much, cheating, stealing, killing animals, insects,
or other living beings... all of these things are against the commandments, and it is generally safe to say
that, in the modern world, it is a very rare person who is able to follow the commandments at all times. Perhaps this is why, traditionally, dreadlocked hair was reserved for priests and keepers of the temple, rather
than for students, farmers and common people who have not reached the level of spirituality that locks demand.
Dreadlocks are not a fashion statement. They are not a political statement against the government or system, and they are not a symbol of vices and pleasures, such as smoking ganga! Dreadlocks are a very serious spiritual commitment that cannot be taken lightly. Perhaps the consequences of breaking even just a
few commandments will not be seen in this life, but the sins will be severely punished in the afterlife. One
who wears dreadlocks must understand their vow and live up to it, for their own protection.
