Goodness

                     Goodness is the ability of expressing virtuous qualities to every living particle and every inhabitant of planet earth. The ability of the ordinary human beings to express goodness and the goodness nature of spiritual beings are on different levels. The goodness quality of the ordinary human beings may not be able to withstand the tests and trials throughout ones life, may not be resistant to the various adverse and rigorous situations, may weaken and finally crumble down. A spiritually advanced being on the other hand has the superhuman nature of a permanent goodwill with each and every living particle and inhabitant on planet earth. The goodness nature radiated from his persona is permanent since he is a spiritually  evolved being. Whether it be a porter, rickshaw driver, vegetable vendor, a labourer or a financially well off stock broker, doctor or a spiritualist, the system of goodness and goodwill is established with  people of all quarters. He has a goodness criteria established with the pine forests along the hill stations or the concrete structures in the city, he has positive vibes radiating, treading the Arizona desert under the scorching sun and is in equally good spirits with the snowy glaciers while mountain climbing up the Himalayan peaks, he treats prostitutes and perfect ladies alike and is on equal terms with a pauper and the richest man in the world. In other words, the goodness nature of a spiritually evolved being is complete and flawless.

                         The standard of goodness level  depends upon the level of consciousness a spiritual aspirant is in. The gradual refinement of goodness develops as one travels higher and higher into upper levels of consciousness. The ability to grasp the goodness quality starts with the gradual goodness nature established with the Omnipresent spirit of God  and reaches a crescendo with virtuous etiquette developed through a unison with the Ultimate, Unitarian plane. Preliminary goodness quality develops from love generated for the Omnipresent aspect of God, further gets enhanced with less sexual and more beauty-referred priorities, gets sharpened through a phonyless and genuinely egoless state, reaches a higher plane with goodness vibes even for the non-living things and finally lays firm on the Supreme Peak with the goodness quality that starts emanating from spiritual  nature as compassion. We can surmise from the above accounts, that primary and permanent goodness can only start emanating from the gradual restoration of awareness into our souls. Goodness developed through a weather beaten human awareness is good but virtuousness , cultivated,sharpened and practiced through soul awareness is best.

                            A firm goodness nature is the quality of love and tenderness expressed to each and every living particle everywhere you go. The concrete structure of your house is loved equally as the lush green hedge around your garden, a beggar feasting on leftovers thrown on to the dumping container or the richest man sipping on a glass of the most expensive champagne are both seen as reflections of pure consciousness, a rusty rickety pick-up swerving around the bumpy road bends of a mountain or a Ferrari gliding along the streets of Manhattan, everything everywhere you go is pure consciousness or God. This preliminary quality of goodness is showered on everything animate or inanimate, good or evil, a sinner or a saint, a satan or a living God as everything that encompasses existence or the entire manifested Universe is the sum and substance of God and no lines of discrimination is drawn between the various living and non-living categories of life. He is oblivious to a world of Godlessness and sees the entire Cosmos as a living entirety of God and nothing else. The unusual unrealisation during his normal human adventure is now transformed into a usual, permanent spiritual insight in his spiritual life as God being the living reality among all particles, animate and inanimate.

                                  Good code of conduct transcends another milestone when we start being great admirers of beauty. The ability to start exercising abundant love instead of  getting attached to your soulmate sensually makes you realize goodness in internal beauty rather than evaluating goodness sexually. The goodness feature that makes you abstain from anything obscene or profane or that does not suit your soul nature or a true son of God, gets developed and instilled in you permanently. “Everybody is an embodiment of God” is the goodness philosophy of the Anahat philosopher. The goodness insight to strike a perfect harmony with your best friend as well as your greatest foe should be seen as another stepping stone in establishing the seeds of brotherhood deep into your psyche. The perfect Anahatic love without a tinge of sexuality is expressed equally to a prostitute from the slums or to a perfect lady, to a fag or a lesbian, to a pauper or a millionaire, to a sinner or a saint and to a satan or a living God. The Anahatic goodness turns a ruffian into a thorough gentleman and a prostitute of the last category into a perfect lady.

                          

                         The God-consciousness state endows one with the capacity  to comprehend the animate and inanimate on equal footing. The Divine nature to grasp the gentle and tender aspect of non-living things and see the inanimate things composed of the same vibrant energy as the living things endows one with the capacity to love even the things which are not living very much and hold them very close to his heart. The goodness generated feelings one starts to develop for the inanimate objects is another  feather in the cap for the highly devoted spiritual aspirant. He may end up hurting himself but he does not think about hurting the non-living things. In other words, whether it be animate or inanimate, everything is God to him.

                          

                    The goodness quality reaches a crescendo and transforms into heights of genuine compassion for the most minute sub-atomic particles to the greater details which are all reflection of his own spirit. The realization that he is the living truth transforms him into a perfectionist with the perfect nature of goodness. 

                       The goodness nature expressed to the Omnipresent spirit of God in every living particle, the goodwill exercised equally amongst your friends and foes, the perfect Anahatic love distributed equally among different human natures, the goodness nature of being a thorough gentleman or a perfect lady, the goodness insight to love the animate and inanimate on equal footing and the goodness quality of the Absolute perfectionist to express compassion to all of Gods creation are the permanent features of the Universal Unitarian spiritualist. We know we are not judged by the  vast expanse of land we own, not by the amount of gold we have in stock at the gold vault in the bank, not by the strikingly good features we have, not by the kind of attire we don nor by the number of women who capture us into their hearts but solely and only by the characteristic goodness trait we have in our hearts.It is again I would like to emphasize on the importance of spiritual growth to get endowed with the superhuman capacity of the principle character trait ,“Goodness” ,deep into our souls.
