Virtue

                                                             

                         What is real virtue? What is the origin of  virtue? What are the sources that superficial and genuine virtue spring forth from? What are the conditions that superficial virtue depend on to be expressed? What are the criterias that genuine virtue depend on to be expressed? What is the principle instrument to generate genuine virtue? Are the expression of genuine virtue the product of humanistic conditioning as most of us assume or the result of the reinvigoration of the fully awake Soul or Spirit? Why is virtue which spring forth from  human conditioning impermanent and why is it that values which arise by exercising the soul permanent? Let us go deeper into indepth analysis about virtue. 

                    Human or material virtue are values developed through conditioning, out of conditions exposed to the wires of your mortal brain. The various subjective and objective experiences exposed to the human brain and the physical body produces virtue which are surface level or superficial. Virtue which arise out of subjective and objective conditioning exposed to the human brain are pseudo and superficial because conditioning is not a permanent experience and can ebb away and change with the ever varying conditions exposed to the human intellect or brain and the mind, which converts the subjective and objective experiences to programme conditioning to produces virtue is a bogus medium to develop genuine ( spiritual) values. It is because the ordinary humanistic state of mind is not the genuine subjective mechanism  to think as the human mind can be transcended through the spiritual growth process, rather it is the original thinking medium, the soul, rejuvenated through meditation which is the correct thinking instrument.  As a result, the original thinking medium, the soul, which generates purity of thought and which subsequently produces genuine virtue is the one and only and the real source of all (spiritual) values.

                       “ The source of genuine virtue is the fully awake soul.”

                                                                                                    -Ashwas Thapa

“Virtue cultivated humanistically are not authentic whereas virtue expressed spiritually are genuine.”

                                                                                                    -Ashwas Thapa

                              The source of genuine virtue is the fully vibrant Spirit and the values cultivated and developed through the ordinary human brain are not authentic and therefore superficial. In other words, the humanistic form of virtue is  not authentic and the values developed spiritually are genuine. Since the individual self is not our real nature but that the unbounded Self our real essence, virtue generated by exercising and awakening the Spirit are the genuine values. Since the human intellect during the infertile and dormant state of the soul is a pseudo medium of genuine thought processes, virtue too generated during the unalive and not fully awake state of the Soul are fake. Therefore, the humanistic virtue is unoriginal and the spiritualistic values are original.

 

                          The human mind and its product, the worldly virtue, has a habit of wavering and modifying according to the varying conditions exposed to it at the slightest excuse. We put on the nature of a perfect gentleman with our potential soulmates because most of the human beings basically start doing a lot of acting when they are in love to woo and impress their future partners. As a result, lovers tend to hide their real nature. Most of the human population become nice and act the tender and loyal son to their parents in hopes of inheriting their fortune and property even though their ailing father and mother may be a total turn-off to them. Total strangers turn to staunch friends to seize opportune opportunities. We start to put on the best of etiquette and a modest nature when we experience a great downfall. Still, many human beings start worshipping and getting themselves devoted to God with hopes of attaining fortune, success and prosperity when material affluence start evading  their lives. The inborn devotees of virtue should also be accounted for because human values by nature has a habit of changing, modifying and wavering at the slightest excuse of misfortune, tragedies, shortcomings, failure, depression, downfalls etc. All these examples have been given to prove that  virtue expressed humanistically through the incapable, inefficient and bogus medium, the human mind, are cultivated and developed depending on the subjective and objective conditioning conditioned onto your brain. Since we have  seen that both conditioning  exposed to conditions and the  brain  are pseudo, virtue too expressed through these mediums are unoriginal, phony, superficial and  not genuine. 

                           Now let us evaluate virtue expressed through the fully awake soul. The spiritual, Spirit, Self, Psyche or Soul nature is our real or genuine nature. Therefore, virtue generated and expressed through your Soul nature are also real and genuine. Virtue dependent on the ordinary human nature needs certain conditions, situations, circumstances and the state of your bogus mind to be expressed. Whereas, virtue generated and expressed through the fully awake soul is not dependent on the external medium, are without conditioning and conditions attached and is expressed to everyone on the planet unconditionally, free of cost,  wishing to seek no monetary or material gains in return and not to seize opportune opportunities. Virtue expressed through the fully awake Spirit is not dependent on the outside but fully gushes outward from inside and is distributed without any cause, reasons, excuses and conditions on an equal footing to everybody without any discrimination and class distinctions.

“The fully awake Soul is the most superior and the human intellect, the most inferior medium to express genuine virtue.”

                                                                 -Ashwas Thapa

                           Let us all strive not to seek and cultivate virtue  from the outside or the external, which are conditioning and the human brain but from the inside, the Soul or Spirit, the source from which we have all come and are here on this priceless sojourn on planet earth. And, this abundant reservoir of genuine virtue can be generated only by awakening the Soul through the spiritual growth process or meditation.

The real V.V.I.P’s

                                                    

                         It was about a year ago when I was off to the Tribhuvan International airport at Kathmandu that I remarked the V.V.I.P. lounge at the bullockcart age airstrip. I had a fleeting thought at seeing the V.V.I.P. lounge about who the real V.V.I.P’s of the planet were. I was at a marriage reception of my cousin brother about a week ago when I had the opportunity of witnessing a  comical situation where I saw two gun toting policemen holding  ancient WW II rifles almost at a firing position guarding one of the most corrupt administration officials Nepal has ever come across. This was yet another privilege enjoyed by the so-called V.I.P’s of a failing nation. The flamboyant treatment that the officials and leaders of one of the most hopeless nations on the planet enjoy are quite  a  sight to watch. This article however, is not an ironical statement to other patriotic leaders of the world who love their country and devotedly work and sacrifice their lives for the sake of their nation. Let us leave pitiful things alone and think if it is working things the humanistic way the solution to individual, societal and world problems and ponder if  the world leaders are spiritually eligible enough to solving the challenges of the  world in a permanent manner? In my perspective, everlasting solution to minor and major world problems can only come about when we try to solve things the spiritual way. Therefore, the real V.V.I.P’s of the planet according to my perspective are in fact really those saints who can find enduring spiritual solutions to individual problems because many of us may already be aware that all societal and world issues escalate from the decision a lone human being makes (I beg your pardon if I am mistaken). At the same time many of us may not be aware that it  is only with a mass scale collective growth of consciousness on the planet that can spread permanent peace and feelings of Universal Brotherhood among  the world citizens and help them live happily ever after. Let us discuss this issue further.

                        The solution to a country’s or the major issues of the world can never be solved by being a head of state and finding temporary solutions the humanistic way. Rather, spiritual giants like a Sri Sri Ravishanker has the power to put an end to world problems by instrumenting spiritual solutions to solve our planetary issues. Humanistic solutions are superficial whereas spiritual antidotes are permanent. I repeat one more time! No minor and major problems of the  society and the world can be solved without an expanded growth of consciousness on the planet. My subject matter may be totally irrelevant to most of the world population caught up with atheistic vices into their lives but the stark truth is that the Golden Age which is just around the corner shall start designating the spiritual saints or superheroes , as the real V.V.I.P’s of the planet who will be endowed with powers to totally reorient the world. What is irrelevant today shall be totally relevant  at the Golden Age when there shall be a very magnifying consciousness revolution which will bring about an everlasting solution to all individual, societal and world problems. A very powerful consciousness revolution shall be the demand of the situation  after the human citizens shall be failed from the hands of their respective leaders because of the futility of their efforts to solve problems and issues the humanistic way.

“ Each and every human role is equally important, therefore, professions of any kind cannot be classified.”

                                                                                                           -Ashwas Thapa

                           We may think that we are in command over what we choose to do as amateurs or professionals but the act of getting to choose what we want to do depends only and only upon the Ultimate Will of the most Supreme Godhead. We are only instruments, but the user of the instrument is the Infinite Being Who directs us to do as He Wills and Pleases.  We are working as executives, entrepreneurs of billion dollar empires, the head of state or enjoying the status of the elite not because of the non-existent so-called independent or free will of ours but the stark reality professes the fact that our so-called independent or free will is dependent on the Will of the most Supreme Godhead which bestows on us the privilege of being a powerless plant of God to get to enjoy our high-profile status. As Mr.Dipak Chopra clearly states that we are concentrations of intelligence within the Supreme field of intelligence to play varied roles as designated to us by God, evolute accordingly, and prepare and initiate ourselves to complete the final spiritual evolutionary process. In other words, we are here to play varied roles on behalf of God to aid in His Divine Mission of enlightening the Cosmos with the Light of Lights or with our personally designated elevated states of consciousness. Therefore, there is no work big or small, high or lowly and high or low profile. The inadequate insight of classifying kinds of professions is man-made but the Universal spiritual wisdom of accepting everyone as equal beings and every career, whatever they may be, on equal footing is God-made. So, the role of a pimp hiring out prostitutes to late night clients or a mother busy nursing her newborn  or an office assistant at a private company is equally important as the post of the head of state held by the President of Nepal.  Whether people may be low or high profile amateurs and professionals literally, the term V.V.I.P. is in reality used to designate someone like a Sri Sri Ravishanker who works selflessly day and night, sunshine or rain in true service of God and humanity.

                            The number of likes a rock star, actors, singers and other high-profile personalities have on their sites on the internet has taken me aback on numerous occasions simply for the sole reason that the number of likes spiritual saints have on their sites are very minimal compared to the former category. High profile people may be designated as V.V.I.P’s in the literal sense but in realistic terms it is only the spiritually elevated class who deserve to be honoured with the title because they are the real dignitaries who can instrument the individual, society and the world to take that spiritual quantum leap, change the course of destiny of planet earth, reorient the world and establish everlasting peace on planet earth. The extraordinary and superhuman task of establishing the present burning demand of the planet, of permanent peace, can only be undertaken and accomplished by none other than spiritual superheroes and not by rock stars yelling their throats at a concert and actors shaking their bums on your television screen simply for the sole reason as stated before that the solution to all minor and major world problems lies by aiding the growth of consciousness on the planet by being Awakened Beings. “Awaken to be Awakened Beings”, is the principle message of all devotees of God like Paramhansa Yogananda, a perfect God like Being like J.Krishnamurti and all the saints who have walked planet earth down the ages.

                         Today, thanking google for giving me a free opportunity to host my spiritual blog, I would like to mention some names of unsung heroes who may be very well known amongst their most loved devotees but little are they respected and adored among most of the world community especially among the elite and the atheists who don’t refrain themselves from pointing their upright middle finger whenever they commune about GOD and those who are more than impatient to spit on the holy Bible before taking  oath of their satanic brotherhood.( I prefer to connote the term “Unsung” as these saints are very well known among and adored by their devotees but little are they respected by the  rest of the spiritually asleep world population and even if known are mocked and scorned at by the spiritually unaware people). The incarnation of the most Supreme Being, Sri Brahmaprajapita, the founder of Raj Yog and Om Shanti had Himself incarnated on this planet and left behind a great spiritual legacy as we can notice His disciples radiating a blaze of light anywhere  they go. The greatest Yogi on planet earth, Sri Mahaavtaar Baba, who is still living in the Himalayas is responsible for all the Divine Mission on planet earth and will continue to guide all devotees of God till the most Supreme Godhead’s mission on planet earth is not complete. Sri Aurobindo is another spiritual figurehead who played an instrumental role in putting an end to world war II by making Adolf Hitler hallicunate to attack Russia because the tyrannical dictator was at the brink of extending Gods plan for the world by a thousand years. The name of the founder of the T.M. movement, Maharshi Mahesh Yogi, who produced great spiritual giants like a Sri Sri Ravishanker, a Dr. Wayne. W. Dyer and Mr. Dipak Chopra, those who have guided countless spiritual growth practitioners should be included and not to be missed. Sri Yukteswor Giri for producing the great Son of God, Paramhansa Yogananda, who held the greatest form of spiritual aura ever witnessed by human beings till date and Sri Sathya Sai Baba the dearest for special reasons to this insignificant scribe.

                         Some real V.V.I.P’s of the planet were and are namely:  His Holiness Sri Brahmaprajapita, Mahaavtaar Baba, Sri Shirdi Sai Baba, Sri Sathya Sai Baba, Sri Sanjaya Sai Baba, Lahiri Mahasaya, Sri Yukteswor Giri, Mr. Roy Eugene Davis, Mr.Ram Dass, Daya Mata, Mr.Eckhart Tolle, Mr.Dipak Chopra, Dr. Wayne W Dyer, Sri Krishna, Sri Rama, Maharshi Mahesh Yogi, Ramana Maharshi, Kripaluji Maharaj, Ramakrishna Paramhansa, Paramhansa Yogananda, Aurobindo, Swami Vivekananda, Swami Shivananda, Pilot Baba, Shivapuri Baba, J.Krishnamurti, Sri Sri Ravishanker etc.

                      People like Osho are not V.V.I.P’s but pure manipulators who won spiritual jackpots to fame and success . He was only a puppet of the most Supreme Godhead to establish the Being theory by propogating the  Non-Being one. He knew the tactful art of aligning himself with the atheistic state of mind of people, flowing with the tide of the present demand of the planet and preaching to  people not to suppress but to do and get what they want and he did this by marketing the two main demanding attractions in the world which are sex and wealth. He had an aptitude for marketing atheistic vices and was an expert marketing agent of atheism who marketed himself by selling and preaching about sex and wealth which are two atheistic vices most of the world population cannot do without. When sex and wealth are the greatest source of fulfillment for most of the world population and the greatest demand of  the planet, anybody who sell and preach for their movement by marketing these two atheistic vices are bound to be a hundred percent successful.

Living in Harmony

                                                    

                      To live a spiritually elevated life of the superconscious states, adhering with the soul abilities and abiding by the soulful qualities is what  is called to lead a life of great harmony. The gradual  awakening of great harmony in a spiritual life is restored with the rejuvenation of the soul or the superconscious states but the spiritual life strikes a perfect accord of the heights of the most Supreme Bliss when we become permanent residents of the Absolute plane. The synchronistic balance of the soul abilities and qualities is what produces great harmony in a spiritual aspirants life. The balance of the soulful abilities and qualities which produces great harmony of an everlasting nature makes you peacefully adapt to the ever growing changes around you no matter how adverse the situations, conditions and the circumstances are. Therefore,  it is only and only the balance of the soul abilities and qualities which produces harmony of an everlasting nature in a spiritual seekers life. But the most significant factor that gives you the levelheaded approach, insight and wisdom to look at the various contours and facets of human life in a balanced evenness and great harmony would be the fully restored awareness. Now, let us look into details of the various soul abilities and qualities which strikes a synchronistic balance and subsequently generates great harmony of an everlasting nature in a spiritual seekers life.

                  Virtues rooted in human nature are not permanent and genuine and therefore grounded in falsehood because they are forced values which sprouts up from another bogus medium, the human intellect. “Can  we conceive of human virtues which is generated form an impermanent and pseudo medium as the human brain as being genuine and permanent?” On the other hand, virtues which spring forth from the depths of our fully awake soul is permanent and genuine because the spirit or soul nature is our real nature. Transcending the first of the superconscious states, the Anahat chakra, produces virtues such as pure, true, unconditional and selfless love, goodness and the quality of being a great devotee of beauty that stands for great purity. Transcending  the human virtues into the spiritual virtues starts producing great harmony in our lives and aids in moulding and balancing our character and nature. Our humanistic form of love before may have been selfish, with conditions attached and not very true and blue from the very core of our heart but the development of the spiritualistic Anahatic love enables us to harmonize this essential heart quality on an equal footing and with no discrimination with everyone on the planet with absolutely no conditions attached. Our goodwill and goodness nature before may have been propelled by the greed for material gains and very selfish motives but now the spiritualistic nature of being good to everybody comes with  no price tag attached and is distributed to everyone absolutely for free. The harmony of the quality of goodness is followed by the nature of being staunch adherents of beauty that stands for great purity. Our attraction to beauty before was guided by the human senses but now we have invited great harmony into our lives because we have striken a spiritualistic balance of being sincere admirers of beauty of immense purity. The development of the Anahat brings great harmony into our lives by generating spiritually genuine virtues into our lives.

                      The most harmonious life in the entire Cosmos is that of a spiritual seeker who has been successful in awakening his dormant human soul and has been successful in being permanent residents of the field of everlasting happiness. Happiness before the asleep soul was awakened was transient because of the ruthless play of the opposite polarities which was ever swinging us between two strokes of the opposite forces or human emotions. The restoration of the human soul from the fourth spiritual plane reaches us into the field of everlasting happiness and no external forces or medium can obscure this state of permanent happiness. Happiness from this phase onwards is an independent state and we do not need to depend on any cause or reason  to be permanently happy. When we were asleep human beings, we needed every sort of excuses and reasons  to be happy but now the awakening of the human psyche finds absolutely no causes to be happy. The soul is now everlastingly and spiritually  happy all by itself without having to depend on any material or exernal reasons to be happy. This kind of permanent happiness which is independent to the forces of the external world, and that soul which  does not need any cause, reason or excuses to be happy but is happy all by itself is the kind of happiness we are all seeking. This kind of everlasting happiness is the greatest contributing factor to the restoration of permanent harmony in a spiritual seekers life. Therefore,we can conclude that the biggest contribution to the establishment of the heights of harmony in a spiritual life is that of the rejuvenation of the state of everlasting and permanent happiness. The reinvigoration of the Anahat establishes 25% happiness into our lives and as we travel into the fifth plane, we become 50% owners of the field of happiness followed by a full cent percent when we become residents of the Absolute plane.

                     The dissolving of the human emotions plays a very vital role in harmonising our soul nature and bringing great harmony into our lives and in fact, the biggest contributing factor in the restoration of everlasting happiness in our lives starts with the permanent dissolution of the opposing human nature or the opposite polarities. The principle reason for the occasional or temporary happiness in our lives before was the villainous play of the human emotions or the opposite polarities. The swinging to and fro  between the interplay of the human emotions or the opposing forces before was robbing us of the establishment   of everlasting happiness in our lives. But now, as we have been successful in awakening our Anahat we start becoming resistant to the ruthless interplay of the human emotions. We are now independent to the inerplay of the opposite polarities. Therefore as we are no longer drawn by the humanistic emotions now, the balance of the opposite polarities succeeds in  welcoming the state of everlasting happiness thereby assuring us of the dawn of great harmony into our lives. In other words, the rejuvenation of the Anahat which dissolves the human emotions forever makes us independent to the interplay of the opposite polarities which in turn paves the way for the dawn of  state of happiness and this state of happiness is what produces everlasting harmony in our lives.

                     The human senses are harmonised once we become permanent residents of the Anahat Chakra. We  were drawn by the pull of the sex centre and the sensory organs before, but now, we are very very disciplined towards everything pertaining to the human senses. As we start having total command over the human senses, we learn to adapt to the abilities and qualities of the soul and stay disciplined to each and every matters pertaining  to the sensory organs. The sensual means of gratification are no longer on demand now and this means having full control of the senses and complete mastery over the sensory organs even if Cindy Crawford is seated right across to you. Untouched Virgin Beauty is the object of appreciation for beauty now and not a quick romp on the bed with the numerous brunettes and blondes of your neighbourhood. So the harmonious collaboration of the soul abilities and qualities converts your life into great harmony by making you staunch adherents of beauty that stands for great purity and by  transforming you into a master of the human senses.

                        We become successful in transcending the state of desires once we go beyond the field of cosmic consciousness or the fifth spiritual plane. We had the constant habit of chasing the infinity of desires and contributing huge efforts towards fulfilling them but now the state of desires have struck a synchronistic harmony when we stop having desires. Transcending the state of desires and being desireless brings great harmony into our lives because being on the constant and hot pursuit of trying to fulfill the infinity of desires that you have robs you of permanent peace and happiness. The more desires that you have, the more the problems because there will continue to be problems as long as you have desires. Equally greater are the problems and disappointments if by chance your desires are not fulfilled. So the establishment of harmony, peace and happiness is abundant when you stop having desires that continually gives rise to problems. Therefore, another contributing factor to the permanent establishment of great harmony into your life is the Self-Realised state of  no-desires.

                     The fully restored awareness of the Self-Realised state is another feather in  the cap to the generation of great harmony into your life. It is because the fully restored awareness generated by being grounded in Self-Knowledge converts you into the most peaceful being on the planet. And the greater the peace in your life the more there is bound to be immense harmony in your life. It is the products of the fully restored awareness, that of living righteously which implies abiding by the divine laws of  life and that of offering no resistance and no reaction to the Infinite Will of God which converts you into something peaceful as a lamb grazing peacefully on the fields and meadows. Therefore,the Self-Aware  and the egoless state are two contributing factors to the establishment of immense harmony into your life.

                   There is another contributing factor to the growth of harmony  and that comes and completes the endless list of factors aiding the establishment of synchronisation in your spiritual life and that is being One with the Absolute . Being One with the Absolute synchronises you with the Universal rhythms thereby  elevating you into the very heights of harmony. 

                                         

  Being One with the Universal rhythms,

Makes you One with the Infinite.

Being One with the Infinite,

Makes you One with Great Harmony.
