The Five Primary Virtues


                                            
                             The most significant, primary and the virtues of the most prime importance are goodness, being an admirer of beauty, the qualities of your non-ego Self, the love embedded Self and the qualities developed by realizing the most Supreme Truth. Virtues developed through the human nature is not everlasting because human nature is not permanent. The only permanent feature of our Divine Being which has an everlasting nature is the presence of our fully aware soul. We are defeated time and again when we cannot perfectly apply the virtuous qualities which are developed through our mortal nature to suit the various situations and circumstances in our life. On the other hand, the virtuous qualities which are developed through the powers of spiritual growth can be perfectly applied to suit the various situations and circumstances in our lives.The only reason why human virtues do not meet the criteria of perfect application to suit the various tests of our lives is that human nature has a temporary existence and cannot withstand the trials of God because human conduct is not strong and sturdy which implies that it might not be our real etiquette. Our real nature which is Divine can withstand the various tests and trials of God in the most tranquil and serene manner.

                                   The first of the virtuous qualities, goodness, develops after we transcend one of our first highly elevating spiritual centres. The moment we get to realize that we are none other than a child of God and start perceiving the embodiment of God in every human being, we start sowing this superhuman quality of goodness deep into our souls. When we start being good to every living creature on the planet another automatic, superhuman seed is sowed deep into our Divine nature, that of being a righteous person who always sticks to the path of righteousness. Favouring one person from the other and discriminating a Mr.Wrong from Mr.Right are bygones and a thing of the past now because the first of the highly elevating centres is such that you would not abstain yourself from hammering the hammer for justice on your intimate soulmate to save a Mr.Right from justice being established on all quarters with that particular person. You will not judge rather, you will always stick to the path of goodness, righteousness and virtuousness. Being good to every living creature on the planet and to Mother Nature is the very first step in  establishing ourselves as true children of God, a quality which starts emanating after you start becoming Anahatic. Anahatic, which implies a person who has transcended the Anahat Chakra or the fourth spiritual centre.

                                     Being a great admirer of beauty, you have stumbled upon yet another step on the Infinite and Eternal spiritual highway with you now getting to establish yourself into a more Godly and soul inclined nature. Once the human senses are transcended you now start becoming less sexual and more and more God natured which means you are now no longer attracted by the senses and sex but that only people, things and Mother Nature which personifies great beauty are the only means of attraction for you.The attraction to the highs and lows of the human body have now faded and disappeared and you now exult in great delight at the sight of the migrating cranes through the sky, you jubilate at the great beauty of the lush green mountains and the snow-capped Himalayas and you simply rejoice when the late evenings welcome the dark sky with sparkling stars and the glow of the full moon.A rare combination of  inner beauty,  brains and the heart is what you look for in a potential soulmate rather than preferring to select a potential one by evaluating the outlines of her physical body."Untouched virgin beauty" of people, things and Mother Nature is the main attraction when you start being a great admirer of beauty.

                                  The demands of the human ego have now dissolved and now you have established yourself as an egolessly driven individual.You are now one and united with the Will of the entire manifested Cosmos. Maintaining a very receptive and non-resistive nature to the Infinite play of the Cosmos, you have now stopped interfering, intercepting and intervening with the Will of the Cosmos and in Mr.Dipak Chopras own words, with the innate intelligence of the Cosmos. You get God's visiting card whenever you encounter an enemy, have to compete with a competitor or when you have to market for your  private company with your adversaries stalking your moves and closing in. In other words, even the negative aspects of life which is the Infinite Will of God is now accepted with great equanimity.

                                      Love, Truth, Goodness and Beauty is God. These qualities are developed once we start awakening our soul nature. Love, another quality which develops after our soul nature is awakened is limited not only within certain boundaries like our soulmate, our family or our near and dear ones but is expressed with the inhabitants of the entire planet and with every living composition of the entire manifested Universe. Therefore, even your greatest enemy is on par for you as your best friend and the most haughtiest transsexual on earth dearer to you as your own soulmate which implies you love everybody on equal terms and on equal footing.

                                   The Supreme Truth which one realizes when one transcends the Absolute means something like “Thou art the Reality”. The soul starts generating compassionate qualities when one gets to realize that he is the living truth. The qualities of the Universal Self or God is permanently embedded deep into our souls once we awaken to the Supreme Truth. An ideal example of this living truth is someone like a J.Krishnamurti who had all the qualities of a perfect Enlightened Being. The state of the  Absolute is such a state which has all the qualities of the most Supreme Godhead because one who is  complete has established a permanent union with the most Supreme Being.

                                         It should be seen as  mandatory to develop virtues on a permanent basis through the spiritual growth process because the only permanent reality of us human beings is our psyche nature and not human nature. Even the human virtues cultivated and developed by a great Mahatma like Gandhi could not permanently help him as he had a habit of taking a refuge in the BhagavadGita whenever he lost his peace of mind. So even a virtuously trained Mahatma like Gandhi could not tame human problems with the virtues he had developed and may God save the plight of other ordinary mortals who have a habit of relying on addictive behaviours to drown their sorrows, suffering and problems. " Now do we see finally, why it is very essential to establish spiritual faith and practice in our lives when we have realized that human virtues shall be of no avail in tackling human suffering?" Let us all persevere with our spiritual efforts to establish an everlasting Union with God which shall make us realize that spiritual virtues, because it is permanent has an everlasting solution to human suffering and not human virtues, which is of a temporary nature and does not give permanent solutions to human suffering.
