All the virtues and values of the Being, such as love, hope, faith and compassion, all come from the ONE, from the unity, which is the BEING.
This is because the Being is the ONE, the Being is UNITY, the Being comes from the UNITY and is one with the UNITY, and within the Being there is also unity.
A simple example, is that at one moment we are so stuck in our individual, particular personality, that is our culture, religion, nationality, that we reject, disdain and even despise others who have a different culture, nationality and religion. Then out of some fortuitous circumstance we experience we see that we are the same, we are one, then compassion, love, kindness is born towards others. When we see that we as do they, suffer, cry and bleed red blood, and have parents, children and friends that they love as do we, the nobility in our spirit springs forth.
It is the perception of unity, of oneness that causes the noble values of the spirit to surge forth...
Karma is always there to remind us of that unity. To do to others is to do to ourselves.
As soon as you see yourself the same as others, that your pain is equal to theirs, a noble value of one type or another will surge from the depth of your Being to your emotional centre that will and move you to benevolent action towards the other.
Only in a state of consciousness that is closer to the unity can we truly love and happily tolerate others with all their differences...
To be stuck in individual personality and ego is to be far from the unity and to not allow the noble virtues of the spirit to appear.
This is a lesson that we all learn and it shows us, that if we want the values of the spirit to come out we need to perceive and see with unity, and let go, or even better, see far past individual differences.
