Beauty

Those who are able to contemplate it experience the flavour of true life

December 15th 2026
Many human beings make the mistake of thinking that beauty is something that can be possessed. No, nobody has ever succeeded in seizing hold of beauty. As soon as you reach out to touch it, it slips away and vanishes. Beauty is a world created exclusively for the eyes; it is not meant for our mouth or our hands. Beauty loves to be looked at, but it cannot bear to be touched.
We should be very careful about how we behave towards people who are beautiful, for the wrong attitude on our part can drive away the heavenly entities that inhabit them and give them that beauty. And if those entities go away, we too will suffer, for all our inspiration will disappear. So, our own joy and happiness depend on our respect for beauty. Those who are able to contemplate beauty every day experience the flavour of true life.
