Chapter 16: Daivāsura Sampad Vibhāga Yoga – The Division of Divine and Undivine Qualities
Dialogue between Sovereign Adhinayaka Shrimaan and the Consequent Child
---
Scene:
The Adhinayaka Darbar transforms into a grand mirror.
In one reflection, the Consequent Child sees a radiant State—
leaders just, citizens united, harmony prevailing.
In the other reflection, the Child sees a State in turmoil—
corruption spreading, justice asleep, unity fractured.
The Sovereign stands at the center,
ready to explain the difference between the two paths.
---
Consequent Child:
O Sovereign Adhinayaka Shrimaan,
You have shown me the Puruṣottama
as the eternal root of Ravindra Bharath.
Now You speak of divine and undivine qualities—
Daivī Sampad and Asurī Sampad.
O Sovereign,
how do these qualities shape the life of the State?
---
Sovereign Adhinayaka:
O child of discerning vision,
the destiny of a State is woven by the qualities of its people and leaders.
The Daivī Sampad—the divine qualities—
uplift the State toward harmony.
The Asurī Sampad—the undivine qualities—
pull it toward decay.
---
Consequent Child:
O Sovereign,
what are these divine qualities that sustain the State?
---
Sovereign Adhinayaka:
Listen, O child:
Fearlessness in truth,
clarity in wisdom,
self-control in governance,
generosity without self-interest,
steadfastness in justice,
compassion toward all beings,
integrity in action,
patience in leadership—
these are the divine qualities.
Where these flourish,
the State stands strong as Ravindra Bharath,
rooted in eternal Dharma.
---
Consequent Child:
And what, O Sovereign, are the undivine qualities
that weaken the State?
---
Sovereign Adhinayaka:
The undivine qualities are these, O child:
Pride that blinds to truth,
anger that divides citizens,
greed that corrupts governance,
deceit in law,
arrogance in leadership,
cruelty to the weak,
neglect of justice,
and contempt for unity.
Where these take root,
the State begins to collapse from within.
---
Consequent Child:
O Sovereign,
how shall the citizens and leaders protect the State
from the rise of undivine qualities?
---
Sovereign Adhinayaka:
Through constant vigilance and self-mastery, O child.
The divine qualities must be nurtured in education,
in the constitution,
and in the very culture of governance.
Just as a garden must be cared for
lest weeds overrun it,
so the State must be tended
lest the undivine qualities take hold.
---
Consequent Child:
O Sovereign,
I see now that the fate of Ravindra Bharath
rests in the cultivation of divine qualities.
---
Sovereign Adhinayaka:
Well spoken, O child.
With this understanding,
you are ready to hear of the next teaching—
Śraddhā-Traya Vibhāga Yoga—
the threefold division of faith,
where I shall reveal how faith itself shapes the character of governance.
