Discovering the Beauty
DISCOVERING THE BEAUTY
“We live only to discover beauty. All else is a form of waiting.” - Kahlil Gibran
Sometime, let’s sit silently for some minutes and let’s think about the life we are leading. Definitely, we’ll find that we want our moments to be filled with happiness at any cost. Whatever, we are doing i.e taking food, wearing dresses, doing physical labour, decorating things, travelling, chit-chatting, and sleeping or may be earning money, everything oriented in such a direction to get satisfaction out of them & derive happiness & pleasure. This striving for happiness leads our life forward. What I observe, we get happiness with a beauty. We want to make our life more and more beautiful. Ultimately, our life is in search of a beauty. You will feel really wonderful, if you will imagine, our whole life is just for discovering beauty. But the difference is the definition of beauty in individual eyes. First of all, try to feel, realize that at every moment we seek for beauty and this beauty is divine. To know how to smile is a beauty. To work skill fully is a beauty. Every kind of artistic expression is a beauty. To play enthusiastically, in disciplined manner and skill fully is a beauty. To weave something properly or clean a room nicely is nothing but an expression of beauty. But we could not discover the beauty hidden in each moment, so we run after the deformations which seems to our ignorant mind as beauty. All kind of dissatisfaction, desires, grieves, unhappiness arises due to that. We are never satisfied with our condition. Because the things we are searching can never give us happiness because they are not real beauty. Our true goal of life is to unveil the hidden beauties of every moment of our life.
So, how can we discover these beauties? First of all, be sure that this is an adventurous journey. Isn’t it amazing? Yes we need to widen our consciousness and visualize the world, our surrounding with open eyes. The daily activities, we are
