Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Quotes about Beauty
Silence is bringing you back home, and it gives you that much-needed energy to realize 'Who You Are', to realize that there is bliss, there is beauty, there is joy, and that is 'You'
For external beauty, you put on things; for real beauty, you have to drop all things. For external beauty you have to have make-up; for real beauty you only have to realize that you are already made up.
Real beauty is when you're centered, when our mind is with the truth. That is how every baby is beautiful because they are centered.
Wake up and realize this is all made up of thoughts, just thoughts. Your appreciation of beauty is a thought; your aversion to an object that is ugly is a thought. Your craving or aversion is nothing but a passing thought in the mind. Realize this is just a thought and you will be free.
Life is more than matter. If it were just matter, there would be no need for comfort. Matter does not feel comfort or discomfort, beauty or ugliness, love or compassion, joy or sorrow. Will a chair ever feel sorry or happy? No, matter does not have these finer values. They belong to the realm of the spirit. But life is also more than spirit. If it were just spirit, there would be no need for water, food, or rest. Human life is a combination of both matter and spirit.
Beauty is an inner phenomenon. Beauty is not in objects, not in people, not even in the eyes of the beholder. It lies in the heart of every person.
That which you cannot express is Love. That which you cannot reject/renounce is Beauty. That which you cannot avoid is the Truth.
Your non attachment to the mundane is your charm. Your attachment to the divine is your beauty.
To grow in unconditional love and in beauty is spirituality.
Everything is cleansed and purified by the rains, and the Earth blossoms in beauty.
