This is what I meant, AK: The great virtues are great when practiced from a balanced state. When one is sticking to the great virtues, but with an inner disbalance, then for instance Day� is mixed with fear when an underdog or with anger when having to be tactically passive. Or Ahims� becomes passive (controlled) Hims�, only to appear uncontrolled sometime. Or Saty�graha might be just to prove right at all costs, etc. Or Ksham� will be a word play without having that intention from inside. This fraction of hesitation might be profited of by others temporarily, for we aren't isolated beings. Another point is that showing 'greatness' at a wrong moment might cause damage (as in the case of Prithviraj). Then the great virtues are not empowered from the absolute state but from some (fractionally disbalanced) relative state. So timing is very important, but also focus: are we in tune with the absolute or are we in a relative (disbalanced) state. Unfortunately at some decisive moments the virtues being not in tune with absolute/original feedback proved very destructive in history. As the adversaries had a simpler binary philosophy, this focus and their timing was slightly better at those moments. Absolute virtues are good, but will have (the best) results when the virtues will be balanced in the relative stages. Till then there will be the necessary conflicts. And as no one is perfect or isolated, there will be some kind of impact of the deeper inner or directer outer influences respectively. Timing has a key role then, as focus also has. Bauddhika, V�chika and K�rmika in their causal or K�rana, subtle or S�kshma and Sth�la components must be balanced (conscious ones, and the unconscious ones be learned of by experience and brought in balance).
