Why you can Still be Spiritual and Patriotic
This article is a chapter from The Hidden Side of Things by C W Leadbeater first published (1913)
Patriotism is a virtue upon which in these days it is very necessary to insist. But we must be sure of what we mean by the term. It is not prejudice, nor is it ill-mannered boasting. There are those who can see no good in any country but their own, who are constantly vaunting with offensive swagger what they consider its superlative excellencies, and disparaging all others. These are not patriots, but mere braggarts: they exhibit not the strength of their loyalty, but the depth of their ignorance.
True patriotism is the very antithesis of all this; it recognises that each country has its advantages and its disadvantages, that each nation has its excellencies, but also always its deficiencies, since no political or social scheme is yet perfect, and there is a good deal of human nature everywhere. Nevertheless it also sees that just as man owes consideration to the parents who have tended him and to the family of which he finds himself a part, so does he also owe something to the country into which he is born, for that birth is not a matter of chance but of karma. He is put there because these are the surroundings that he has deserved, and they are also those best suited to help onward his evolution. He is put there not to receive only, but to give; for man learns best by service. Thus he should be prepared when called upon to work for his country; he should acquiesce cheerfully in such measures as may be necessary for the general good, even though they may bring loss to him individually; he should forget for his country' s sake his private interests and desires, and when the opportunity arises he should give himself unsparingly to her service.
I am aware that, among students of what is called advanced thought, there are those who sneer at patriotism as a virtue which is half a vice-- as an evidence of a low stage of development. But that is a mistaken view: as well might one rail at family affection for exactly the same reasons. Truly both love for family and love for country are more limited than universal love, but they are nevertheless stages on the way to it. If primitive man thinks only for himself, it is an advance for him to extend his love to that wider self which we call the family, and to learn to feel and to think for his nation is but a further step on the same road. Later still he will learn to think and to feel for humanity as a whole, and then he will come to see that the animal and the plant are our brothers, even though they may be younger brothers, and that all life is the divine Life, and so the love which was once confined to himself, to his family, to his clan, to his nation, has become wide as the shoreless sea of the divine Love.
But a very necessary stage on the way to this goal is that patriotism which leads a man to forego his own ease and comfort, to put aside his private opportunities of gain, nay, to sacrifice his very life, in order to serve his country. Naturally also he personifies his country in the person of her ruler, and so is developed the other virtue of loyalty, and his character is thereby greatly elevated and purified. That individual kings have in the past often been unworthy of this high feeling is a sad fact, but it does not interfere with the other fact of the benefit which accrues to those in whom such feeling is evoked. When it fortunately happens that the sovereign is all that a ruler should be, we have a collocation of circumstances in which loyalty can work with its greatest effect, and splendid results may be achieved both for the King and his people.

Chinese Millionaires Buy Porcelain Vase for Patriotism
"Porcelain Vase in Qianlong period in the UK has auctioned off more than 500 million RMB, which deeply shocked the British media. Most bidders are Chinese. World Wide Web Journalist Tan Liya reported. A British journalist laments that it is the Chinese people, "porcelain patriotism." behind the artifacts.
Vase sold at high price
"This 18th century masterpiece of Chinese people has been on the shelf and covered with dust, before it is found "British media reported.When this porcelain came to the auction line, it made the staff excited. It was valuated up to 800,000 to 1,200,000 pounds. British "Daily Telegraph" reported.
What the auction house did not expect is that the price of the vase has been increased to 43 million pounds within 30 minutes. This sets a world record in the auction history. These bidders are from China. ". "In the final stage of bidding, each bid is increased by £ 1,000,000; there are only a few bidders at last. They are businessmen from mainland China."
"When the bid price is rising sharply, The British women sold porcelain vase almost fainted. "" Daily Telegraph "reported. Finally, the porcelain vase is worth of 53 million pounds with commission and VAT, which makes the auction and the seller ecstatic.
British Internet users think of the Old Summer Palace
Many reports just care about the vase sold at the "shock the world" price. However, the possible sources of the vase are rarely mentioned by media. "This lucky British family got the vase, in 1930 or earlier, they didn't know how it was removed from China to London." The Fourth Channel News reported. "People from China, Iran, Egypt and India buy their loss of cultural heritage at any cost. The legacy lost overseas because of the war or the plundering of Western collectors." "Daily Telegraph" reported.
In the UK media websites, the sources of porcelain vase have also led to heated debate. In the "Daily Telegraph" website, internet users Mrbomber expressed his idea, "It seems no one is aware of the reason why Chinese people would pay such big bucks to buy only porcelain vase. In the 19th century, the British and French troops burned the Old Summer Palace and seized all the treasure, which is the big shame for more than 100 years. Those who spent heavily to buy the porcelain vase took away by the troops back are some stupid. But they know what they are doing. They are buying their own things from the hands of thieves. This is a truly civilized. But some British have no such shame." Daily Telegraph" reported.
China's "porcelain patriotism" behind the vase
"Behind the high price vase, It is the Chinese "Porcelain Patriotism". "Financial Times" reporter Steven. Vincent stated. Some rich Chinese are eager to buy their own cultural heritage back with strong patriotism. Qianlong porcelain vase is a recent example. The article also quoted a British art expert as saying, "reviewing the last century, you will understand why Chinese are so keen on the reconstruction of their history. The collection of these artifacts will help them to re-invent their identity and culture."
The effect on the collection
At the same time, this thing strongly boosts public's enthusiasm for collection in British and in China. Many stores and programs have produced. "An on line store dinodirect.com, which is engaged in various cool novelties Since this thing was reported, many collection lovers come to visit the web and buy the antiques and other old funny things. Their turnover is twice as before." The Journalist recently reported.
