The Virtue Of Incorruptibility Is The Highest Asset Of A Paravipra
As
it was mentioned, the moment you find a society where their leaders
are corrupt, that society is gone. That is it, they are
finished. That is why we emphasize so much about Paravipras
because not only are they good leaders, but they are incorruptible.
In each
reincarnation they have forwarded their progress, until they have
reached this point where spiritually they are incorruptible.
***
It
is these people who have overcome this world, are in their higher
selves, and have no desire for the praise of men, who are worthy to
assume the leadership of humanity.
***
“Paravipra”
is not just a word. It is just like a lot of people say, “I am
god.” Yes, you can be god, but you are not God yet. A
lot of people become involved into these names and these ego trips
about them, “Because I just walked into the
Mission,
so I am a Paravipra.” No. You are not a Paravipra yet. You
have to overcome all these tendencies and become a realized person.
You have to reach a point to see that humanity needs these things.
You have to be concentrated completely on God and be effective, and
do the things that are necessary to create an environment, that
calmness, that beautiful, wonderful place that can be created here
for everyone and yourself, and then reach and teach other people how
to overcome. Then you become a Paravipra.
***
As
you expect more of yourself, you can affect your environment very
well. If you do not expect from yourself and expect from
others, you are looking for it in the wrong places.
***
In
the Communities of Light you can be truthful to yourself
because that is what is expected from you to be, to be truthful to
yourself and others. If you are not truthful to yourself, you
cannot create
Communities of Light.
You’re going to create a community of lies instead [laughter from
audience].
***
See,
it is a harder thing to be truthful to yourself than to anyone else.
If you are truthful to yourself, absolutely, then you can be
truthful to others. Also you do not have any secrets if you
are truthful to yourself because you have to say the truth to
yourself so you would not do anything that you would be ashamed of,
would you? You have to face your own self.
That is why you should examine yourself all the time. You need
to look and say, “Am I truthful to myself? Do I really mean
what I say? Do I really mean what I do in my life, or am I
just not being truthful to myself?” That is very, very
important.
***
Who
are the great people? Great people are those who are just and
are able to overcome their human tendencies. They become more
and more like God, more and more compassionate, have more and more
love and understanding, and they are searching their Souls all the
time, “Am I doing the right thing?”
That means
righteousness, you become righteous, to do the right thing.
Actually, we have a tape of a lesson on THOTH where I
repeat the words, “to do the right thing,” many times. For
fifteen minutes of it I say, “You have to do the right thing” [all
laughing].
It does not
matter who judges us on earth about what, the most important thing
is how God judges us, how He looks at us.
***
Actually
such a person does not need justice, because he is just within
himself. He does not need unity because he is united already.
***
It
is just like the disciple whose teacher gave him a bird and told
him, “Go and take it and kill it where no one can see you.” He
went, walked all over, and came back in the afternoon, and he still
had the bird alive. The teacher said, “What happened?
Why didn’t you kill him?” The disciple said, “Well, wherever I
went, God was there. I was not alone.”
With that
kind of mentality, you are never going to become corrupted.
You are never going to steal, you will never lie, you will never do
things against what is important to society. That is because
you know that God looks at you all the time, and you become
incorruptible. You govern yourself. The more people like
this we have, the less government we will need.
That
characteristic of being incorruptible, being honest, being a
self-examining person, being self-motivated, and knowing truly that
God is watching you all the time, is the highest characteristic of a
Paravipra. If you are an intellectual, or if you are a
business person, but if you are not incorruptible, you do not have
the highest characteristic of a Paravipra.
That
incorruptibility is the greatest asset and all leaders should have
that capability, that ability. If they do not have it, they
should not become leaders. They should not be accepted as
leaders, they should not be chosen, they should not be voted for, or
anything that makes them reach a level of authority where they can
harm the society.
