What is real virtue?
What is the origin of virtue? What are
the sources that superficial and genuine virtue spring forth from? What are the
conditions that superficial virtue depend on to be expressed? What are the criterias
that genuine virtue depend on to be expressed? What is the principle instrument
to generate genuine virtue? Are the expression of genuine virtue the product of
humanistic conditioning as most of us assume or the result of the
reinvigoration of the fully awake Soul or Spirit? Why is virtue which spring
forth from human conditioning
impermanent and why is it that values which arise by exercising the soul
permanent? Let us go deeper into indepth analysis about virtue.
Human or material virtue
are values developed through conditioning, out of conditions exposed to the
wires of your mortal brain. The various subjective and objective experiences
exposed to the human brain and the physical body produces virtue which are
surface level or superficial. Virtue which arise out of subjective and
objective conditioning exposed to the human brain are pseudo and superficial
because conditioning is not a permanent experience and can ebb away and change
with the ever varying conditions exposed to the human intellect or brain and
the mind, which converts the subjective and objective experiences to programme
conditioning to produces virtue is a bogus medium to develop genuine (
spiritual) values. It is because the ordinary humanistic state of mind is not
the genuine subjective mechanism to
think as the human mind can be transcended through the spiritual growth
process, rather it is the original thinking medium, the soul, rejuvenated
through meditation which is the correct thinking instrument. As a result, the original thinking medium,
the soul, which generates purity of thought and which subsequently produces
genuine virtue is the one and only and the real source of all (spiritual)
values.
“ The source of genuine
virtue is the fully awake soul.”
-Ashwas Thapa
“Virtue cultivated
humanistically are not authentic whereas virtue expressed spiritually are
genuine.”
-Ashwas Thapa
The source of
genuine virtue is the fully vibrant Spirit and the values cultivated and
developed through the ordinary human brain are not authentic and therefore
superficial. In other words, the humanistic form of virtue is not authentic and the values developed
spiritually are genuine. Since the individual self is not our real nature but
that the unbounded Self our real essence, virtue generated by exercising and
awakening the Spirit are the genuine values. Since the human intellect during
the infertile and dormant state of the soul is a pseudo medium of genuine
thought processes, virtue too generated during the unalive and not fully awake
state of the Soul are fake. Therefore, the humanistic virtue is
unoriginal and the spiritualistic values are original.
The human mind and
its product, the worldly virtue, has a habit of wavering and modifying
according to the varying conditions exposed to it at the slightest excuse. We
put on the nature of a perfect gentleman with our potential soulmates because
most of the human beings basically start doing a lot of acting when they are in
love to woo and impress their future partners. As a result, lovers tend to hide
their real nature. Most of the human population become nice and act the tender
and loyal son to their parents in hopes of inheriting their fortune and
property even though their ailing father and mother may be a total turn-off to
them. Total strangers turn to staunch friends to seize opportune opportunities.
We start to put on the best of etiquette and a modest nature when we experience
a great downfall. Still, many human beings start worshipping and getting
themselves devoted to God with hopes of attaining fortune, success and
prosperity when material affluence start evading their lives. The inborn devotees of virtue
should also be accounted for because human values by nature has a habit of
changing, modifying and wavering at the slightest excuse of misfortune,
tragedies, shortcomings, failure, depression, downfalls etc. All these examples
have been given to prove that virtue
expressed humanistically through the incapable, inefficient and bogus medium,
the human mind, are cultivated and developed depending on the subjective and
objective conditioning conditioned onto your brain. Since we have seen that both conditioning exposed to conditions and the brain
are pseudo, virtue too expressed through these mediums are unoriginal,
phony, superficial and not genuine.
Now let us evaluate
virtue expressed through the fully awake soul. The spiritual, Spirit, Self, Psyche
or Soul nature is our real or genuine nature. Therefore, virtue generated and
expressed through your Soul nature are also real and genuine. Virtue dependent
on the ordinary human nature needs certain conditions, situations, circumstances
and the state of your bogus mind to be expressed. Whereas, virtue generated and
expressed through the fully awake soul is not dependent on the external medium,
are without conditioning and conditions attached and is expressed to everyone
on the planet unconditionally, free of cost,
wishing to seek no monetary or material gains in return and not to seize
opportune opportunities. Virtue expressed through the fully awake Spirit is not
dependent on the outside but fully gushes outward from inside and is
distributed without any cause, reasons, excuses and conditions on an equal
footing to everybody without any discrimination and class distinctions.
“The fully awake Soul
is the most superior and the human intellect, the most inferior medium to
express genuine virtue.”
-Ashwas Thapa
Let us all strive
not to seek and cultivate virtue from
the outside or the external, which are conditioning and the human brain but
from the inside, the Soul or Spirit, the source from which we have all come and
are here on this priceless sojourn on planet earth. And, this abundant
reservoir of genuine virtue can be generated only by awakening the Soul through
the spiritual growth process or meditation.
