Beauty

What do we call Beauty??? Why do we find something Beautiful??? Observing this I found out that it depends on many things... For eg... Cravings, Aversions, Centeredness, your vision, etc, etc... Beauty is such a thing that cannot hide... Each and everything in this creation is Beautiful!!! All you need is awareness... The eye to see everything beautiful... As an English proverb says "Beauty lies in the eyes of the Beholder!!!" To a certain level its true... But as you go on deeper levels, deeper aspects of Beauty... On the subtle levels the Beholder and the Beauty are one... There is Beauty in the beholder itself...
If the beholder is beautiful inside everything looks beautiful... The whole problem starts when you either limit your vision and try to put beauty into a restricted box, or try to possess the beauty... The moment you do either of this, the beauty is lost... Everything is unique & beautiful in its own way...
There are many artists who paint, draw, perform, sing, etc, etc, etc... But how many of them can actually see the beauty in their work... And out of those very few who see beauty, how many can actually without getting into arrogance can observe the Beauty as it is... " Beauty in anything is lost when it is taken for granted!!!" There is one way to maintain this beauty, keep it alive inside you... And one of the way to do it is to be in a state of Wonder!!!! Aho!!!
People do something unique and abstract to make something Beautiful... Most of the people don't even see this... Just creativity doesn't make something beautiful... Its the Creators involvement in the Creation makes it Beautiful... That's how each and everything in this entire creation is Beautiful as the Creator Himself is the Material of Creation... An Enlightened one is a true artist... Someone who can see the entire creation as Beautiful piece of ART!!!!
That is BEAUTY!!!!!!!!
