I have given many examples of my life
throughout my articles only for the sole
reason that I had no other examples to give. It is because I have only read two
spiritual books till date and the rare accounts of the exemplary lives of great
Yogis are too few and far in between in my recorded memory. Today, let me give
you an example of plastic people living in an artificiality dominated world. I
have a habit of going to great lenghts
to congratulate and wish people luck, fortune and prosperity when they disclose
to me of their wonderful achievements in their material endeavours. I have a
sister and brother in law who are living abroad and have always gone to great
lengths to cheer for them, congratulate and wish them much more in the coming
years to come. During my telephone conversation with them I spend at least five
minutes only to wish them from the very core of my heart anytime they convey to
me about their wonderful material achievements. One day, the brother of my
sister who is my cousin suddenly retorted that my well wishes to his sister was
nothing but a bogus praise of the makeup of the most phony poetic rhyme. A few
months elapsed and I wished one of my aunts in the same manner only to be taken
aback when she too retorted to not to do too much of all my sweet-talking!
Plastic people
rooted in a phony nature no more believe in virtues any longer. The planet today is a duplicate
world inhabitated by equally duplicate people. The personality value has spread
like a forest fire and not the character or the principle ethics and phony
human nature has the majority which is widely underestimating and minimising the minority, the virtues and
virtuous people rooted in originality. This is why virtues have no value to
most of the entire world population roooted in plasticity these days. Almost the entire world population has become plastic. Most of the world population is
invaded by double standard people with plastic nature and atheistic vices.
People with virtues are minimised and not believed in because how can most of
the inhabitants of planet earth who have a double standard believe and imbibe
virtues? Plasticity and artificiality is the in-thing and virtues and virtuous
people seem to be out of place. I have seen people mock and laugh at people
grounded in virtuous qualities. People who are very virtuous are often termed a
retard and even I have been called one once by one of my cousins who is totally
addicted to the second most dangerous atheistic vice - sex. I know of one such
character who designated Lord Krishna a gay
because of the intimate spiritual dialogue the great Gopala was sharing with
Arjuna, while delivering the Gita on the battlefield of Kurushetra.
The categories of plastic people are
mainly- opportunists, exploiters, diplomatic people, negative people,
double-standard humans, those with the
two most dangerous atheistic vices which are money and sex, power hungry people
etc.
Opportunists are people who
normally spark off a friendship, relationships, pursue a membership of a
political party or other institutions for grabbing opportunities in life. The
opportunists are usually in a low and often weak familial, communal, societal
position and are eager to bridge bonds with people who is normally in a higher
financial and social position and status. They may also be well off people who
are on the constant hunt for very affluent and high-profile benefactors. These
opportunists have a habit of dumping the relationship of the low, mediocre and
high level benefactors once the oportunities are grabbed and the advantages
taken. The exploiters are those who are normally in a higher social and
financial ranking and whose main target
is to exploit you and your skills and capabilities, naturally taking advantage,
because of you being his subordinate and just because he enjoys a superior
power than you do. These kind of exploiters suck the entire blood out of you
like a blood-hungry leech and goes on defeating you until you don’t get to
realise that he is doing nothing than only manipulating you. Diplomatic people
always puts on a pseudo personality apart from his authentic nature to suit his
field of interest. Diplomatic people put up an act of a very close friendship
and relationship with you to get his
things accomplished whereas his real nature may not be the way you imagined to
be. His entire personality is a cloak of betrayal and disguise since diplomatic people never put on their true
nature while ineracting with people. Shy away from diplomats if you are in
search of true and enduring friendships and relationships. One should never
jump to assumptions while interacting with a close friend. There should be a
mode of detatched observation while communing and interacting with every warm human relationship you share. If there is sometime a setback with
your close friend and something fruitful and fulfilling could not be the
outcome of your pleading assistance and aid to your close friend there could be
a hundred positive reasons for the failure of an amicable solution to your plea for assistance
than a negative cause. If there is
someone close to you who has a habit of jumping to conclusions and who takes
every bit of your initiation with only negativity it would be better to shun
such company. Dont let things go in such a way that you shall yourself start
being negative. Negativity is a pseudo and plastic nature and a person endowed
with the discouraging feature of hundred percent negativitism is someone who
has a bogus character. There are double standard people who act in a certain
way with some people and just the opposite way around with other people. This
category of people behave and act pleasingly with selected people and prefer to
stay reserved with people they don’t
appreciate and choose to keep a distance. The principle motive of all double
standard people as well as all the categories of plastic people is to exploit
people and to seize opportune opportunities. So be careful of double standard
people in your life! The worst category of plastic people are those who are
slaves to the two most dangerous anti-God vices, money and sex. The filthiest and
the most hopeless class of people on the planet are people who are addicted to
money and sex and these class of people can go to any measure to keep on
fuelling their desires for these two filthy vices. These people go to any length to fulfill
their objectives, any plans they may have while living their material life and
to accomplish their addiction for money and sex. These class of people don’t
even bar their nearest kin, relatives, friends, family members and even parents
when it comes to the issue of fulfilling their desires for material worth,
power, wealth and want for satisfaction of carnal pleasures even if it means
thrusting the barrel of a shotgun onto a kin to fulfill their desires for sex. The
power hungry people can be understood in the same terms as the plastic people
addicted to sex and money. These category of people annihilate everybody and anybody who obstruct
their path to the seat of power.
“The origin of the
original virtues lies in an awakened soul.”
-Ashwas Thapa
The source of the
genuine virtues that can only be developed through the awakening of the Self is
present only in awakened beings while the human values and virtues is never a
permanent quality and is impermanent which can ebb away according the varying
human conditions exposed to it. Virtuous qualities like love, truth, goodness
and beauty gets reinvigorated in a spiritual aspirant who has chanced to have
transcended at least the fourth spiritual plane, virtues which the fully awake
soul exercises to exercise on a permanent basis among all human beings. The
fully restored awareness is a permanent medium to exercise the spiritually
developed virtues and is not impermanet
like the ordinary virtues exercised on the human level. Therefore,
virtues rooted in originality can only spring forth from a fully awake soul and
not from impermanent medium such as the human intellect or mind because the
completely vibrant Self is a permanent reality to express and
exercise genuine virtues and the human brain a transient or bogus instrument to do the
same. In other words, the spiritually awakened man is an authentic virtuous
being and not an ordinary mortal grounded in materialism. “May we all live to
be authentic virtuous beings while
living this life of ours on planet earth!”
