More on Beauty.

We realized that beauty is an outside projection of our inner desires.

Desire creates the beauty.

Desires simultaneously divide our psyche and the outside world—beautiful, not-so-beautiful, ugly, etc.

A divided mind creates a split world; this is our projection onto the Sansar and our suffering due to the constantly running mind.

After realizing this profound truth, a change happens within us if and when we start withdrawing our desires after proper spiritual sadhana.

As we settle into a steady, homogenous ( uniform ), unwavering consciousness instead of a divided, heterogeneous running mind, a strange state of Samatava (equanimity) establishes within us.

We stop differentiating between beauty and ugliness and stop using beauty as a criterion to divide society.

We realize that our mind is no longer running for outside pleasures anymore, and a state of calmness starts arising within us.

This inner calmness feels strange initially because we have never been so calm in our lives before.

This calmness was always present within; it arose after withdrawing our desires.

Besides beauty, our mind projects outside in many other ways.

We project our borrowed knowledge, unasked-for opinions, advice, judgment about others, etc.

Our gestures reveal only one thing about us: we are divided within, incomplete.

A divided mind ( Ego ) can never be at peace.

There are only two ways to get peace and joy.

Sansar or Samadhi.

Sansar is transient, and Samadhi is perpetual.

The choice is yours.
