Character

                                   It is natural for spiritually elevated beings to shine forth with their lives upholding great moral and ethical values and portraying a very strong character  and setting a living example to the people of planet earth. Relating to the material realm, it should be considered an act of great discipline to portray strength of character without partaking in any rigorous spiritual exercise. Sri Sathya Sai Baba, who laid so much emphasis on the values of true character is the only saint who has produced thousands of his students who radiated an aura of true ethical and moral values and have lived their material lives living the example and spreading the mission of their most adored spiritual idol. Let us not  waste time talking about monks of some religion who go around equipped with (contraceptive) condoms and pills, stuffed into their pockets, in hopes of any chance sexual encounters. But rather, let us commune and focus our attention on those great spiritual descendents of Mahaavtara Baba like a Lahiri Mahasaya, Sri Yukteswor Giri, Paramhansa Yogananda, Daya Mata, Mr.Roy Eugene Davis, a Ram Dass etc who upheld great principle character traits and lived the examples of great devotees of God with strength of character  that outshone those of every living inhabitant of planet earth.



                            “So what are those spiritual qualities which produce such great devotees of God with a spotless character, like a Daya Mata, Mr,Roy Eugene Davis and Ram Dass?”



                         A person who has a sound character has love emanating on an equal footing for the Omnipresent Spirit of God in every living particle, whether they be living or non-living. It is the quality of perceiving pure consciousness or God in every living particle whether it be in the inanimate steely structure of a gigantic ship lying uncared for, waiting to be dismantled or in the animate fleshy body of a massive whale shooting great water fountains up through the sky in the shores of the Pacific that creates unconditional and selfless love. The ability of perceiving pure consciousness or God in all living and non-living particles and the Anahatic love is what creates love on an equal footing for everybody, everything and for the presence of existence everywhere you go. The hatred you had for someone who wrecked and shattered your dream of being a medical doctor is converted  into pure, unadulterated love once we are established into the first spiritual planetary existence of the field of happiness.



                        The spiritual person who has a strong  and untainted character has an unadulterated beautified perception of perceiving and receiving beauty that stands for great purity. Once a spiritual aspirant has transcended the fourth spiritual centre or the Anahat chakra, he or she is unaffected by the human senses and therefore by sensuality or the sensory experiences and so is more inclined and dependant on unconditional and selfless love for pure, virgin beauty of people, things, situations , circumstances and the beautiful planet plus the miraculous and magical, the entire manifested Universe. Love for people and for beauty from this plane onwards is simply Anahatic. The sparkling stars, the glowing full moon, the snow capped Himalayas, the Ocean, the magic of a deserted and isolated island, the setting of the sun and the crimson coloured clouds, the lush green jungles or the beauty of the flight of the birds through the sky, the source of attraction to the entire living race and the manifested Cosmos is pure, untouched, virgin quality of spiritual nature called the Anahatic love.



                     The generous, kind and compassionate qualities developed from the Anahat centre is another quantum leap in being endowed with an excellent character. The Anahatic man has a sense of equality seen with  all living beings and makes an effort to settle justice equally amongst all the inhabitants of the Universe. The Anahatic man instruments and executes  a sense of goodwill, putting on the persona of goodness and acting the good natured manner with everyone you come across and meet. Being compassionate may mean generating an overflowing divine quality of compassion equally to a swindler,  an assassin, a gigolo or a prostitute, a ruthless dictator or a saint, a peaceful human being, a perfect lady or a gentleman or a benevolent World leader. All in all, these primary qualities of goodness transforms into the feeling of Universal Brotherhood with all the inhabitants of planet earth and the entire manifested Cosmos. Goodness is the primary quality and the source which generates the feeling of one united Universal Brotherhood amongst everyone inhabiting planet earth.




                    The complete development of a great strength of character is availed when we become successful in establishing ourselves as torchbearers of the Supreme Truth. The Anahatic, non-resistive, God personified, supplemented by being established with the Supreme Truth produces saints with untainted, spotless and great strength of character like a J.Krishnamurti. The ever radiating blaze of untainted character like that of a J.Krihsnamurti has the powers to convert a failing World into a completely reformed one. The Ultimate Unitarian plane that unites a J,Krishnamurti with God is exactly what is needed to produce human beings with a genuinely holy and spotless character. If J.Krishnamurti had lived till this day and you had a chance meeting to talk to him, you would have known what it is to have a face to face communion with the image of a perfect God. You can just imagine and make it out the kind of  a character someone who has realized both God and the Supreme Truth has. J.Krishnamurti was someone who had such a character and caliber.



                     Many have wanted to spark  a relationship just because they wanted to go to bed with their most cherished and potential soulmates, many leaders and statesmen of a failing and hopeless nation have emptied the state funds and left the citizens helpless and desolate, still many have tainted the image of sainthood by creating trouble for innocent seekers. Squandering an entire lifespan by nurturing the dream of going to bed with ones most cherished woman, misusing the funds of the state vault and being a pain in the arse to innocent seekers by misusing the powers of siddhis are acts that idiots, stupids and morons practice. It takes an act of the greatest form of courage and determination to undertake the spiritual life and excel in it. In fact, the most challenging and rigorous journey in human  life is a spiritual one.



                     “Now do we see what acts of courage and determination it needs and how rigorous a journey is undertaken to generate great strength of character like those of a Daya Mata, a Mr.Roy Eugene Davis and a Ram Dass?”
