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.
