Beauty Is The Very Nature Of The Kosmos
सौंदर्य ब्रह्माण्ड की प्रकृति है-- केन विल्बर के द्वारा
यदि विज्ञान हमें सत्य, या आत्मा का "वह", और नैतिकता हमें आत्मा का अच्छा, या "हम" देता है, तो सौंदर्य - जो देखने वाले की "आंख" में है - हमें आत्मा की "मैं" खोलने में मदद करता है। [...]
सबसे सुंदर व्यक्ति, जिसे आपने कभी देखा है, उसके बारे में सोचें। उस सटीक क्षण के बारे में सोचें, जब आपने उसकी आंखों में देखा था, और एक क्षण के लिए आपको जैसे लकवा मार गया था: आप वहां से अपनी दृष्टि नहीं हटा सकते थे। उस सुंदरता में जकड़े हुए, जैसे समय ठहर गया हो, आप उसे घूरते रहे। अब कल्पना कीजिए पूरे ब्रह्मांड में हर एक चीज से निकलने वाली वैसी ही समान सुंदरता की: हर चट्टान, हर पौधा, हर जानवर, हर बादल, हर व्यक्ति, हर वस्तु, हर पहाड़, यहां तक कि कचरा का ढेर और टूटे सपने - हर एक वस्तु उस सुंदरता को उत्सर्जित कर रही है। आप अपने आस-पास उत्पन्न होने वाली हर चीज की कोमल सुंदरता से चुपचाप जमे हुए हैं। आप लोभ से मुक्त हो जाते हैं, समय से मुक्त हो जाते हैं, परिहार से मुक्त हो जाते हैं, पूरी तरह से आत्मा की नज़र में मुक्त हो जाते हैं, जहाँ, आप उस कला की अनुपम सुंदरता का चिंतन करते हैं, जो संपूर्ण विश्व है।
यह सर्वव्यापी सौंदर्य रचनात्मक कल्पना में एक अभ्यास नहीं है। यह ब्रह्मांड की वास्तविक संरचना है। यह सर्वव्यापी सौंदर्य सच में ब्रह्माण्ड की प्रकृति है। यह कुछ ऐसा नहीं है जिसकी आपको कल्पना करनी है, क्योंकि यह सभी क्षेत्रों में अनुभूति की वास्तविक संरचना है। यदि आप आत्मा की दृष्टि में रहते हैं, तो प्रत्येक वस्तु उज्ज्वल सौंदर्य की वस्तु है। यदि अनुभूति के दरवाजे साफ हो जाते हैं, तो पूरा ब्रह्माण्ड, आपका खो कर पाया जाने वाला, प्रिय, मौलिक सौंदर्य का मूल चेहरा है, हमेशा, और हमेशा के लिए, और अनंत तक के लिए। और उस तेजस्वी सौंदर्य के सामने, आप पूरी तरह से अपनी मौत में डूब जाएंगे, फिर कभी आपको देखा या सुना नहीं जाएगा, उन मृदु रातों को छोड़कर जब हवा धीरे-धीरे पहाड़ियों और पहाड़ों के माध्यम से चल रही है, चुपचाप आपका नाम बुला रही हो।
मनन के लिए प्रश्न: आत्मा की नजर में हर वस्तु के उज्ज्वल सौंदर्य की धारणा से आप कैसे सम्बद्ध हैं? क्या आप उस समय की एक व्यक्तिगत कहानी साझा कर सकते हैं जिसे आपने महसूस किया था कि आपके आस-पास की हर चीज़ का "सौंदर्य" आलोकिक है? आपके आस-पास के सभी "सौंदर्य" को देखने में क्या आपकी मदद करता है?

I believe beauty surrounds us. There is beauty in my children's presence, in the flowers of my balcony, in the songs I listen. I mostly have experienced beauty in connectedness with people. It's beautiful when they see me or I get glance of them.

Forthe first timeever I attended theWednesday's Awakin circle and Ican't describehow I felt. Such a wonderful and beautifulsoul, gatheredaround to createpositive vibrations. Every minute that I spent there was beautiful. The sound of silence which I heardbefore, butconnected to deeply, was beautiful. We heard so many times that beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. But what I saw from closed eyes was ultimate :) I have so much to tell that I will prefer to be quite.

As a musician I think one of the extraordinary gifts we humans have created for ourselves is music. We derive a great deal of our identity from something that has no physical reality. Music is like a vast projection onto space itself and yet it creates and reflectsa moral (intentional) reality unique to each differing culture.
To me it's no mere coincidence that the greatest music of the just about every faith tradition has been written in praise of the creator spirit; for it has always been that when we align ourselves with the wordless reality music expresses we can reach a state of transcendencethat is akin to spiritual ecstasy.

Fundamentally Beauty is all pervading .Its a question of our own cleansed conscious,head-mind-soul.The entire universe is just,fair and beautiful fascinatingly. It's our responsibility with ownership,earnest desire and honest efforts to realise the same by going deep within & without.The third eye between the eyebrows opens the doors to our innate Spirit, radient light and the Anhad sound .

The concept of "the beauty in everything" resonates deeply with me. ihave reached the same conclusion by exploring other roads ... and have explored complementary views in a book (in Spanish) titled "The Ultimate Adventure: Awareness of Reality". It explores in a humble but not timid way the inherent nature of "reality" ... of the universe, light-energy-matter, ourselves, everything... in simple language (as a "lay" person), but integrating many scientific findings and quoting several Nobel Prize winnersin Physics, to strengthen the fascinating, mind-boggling facts about the oneness of everything, the presence of light (EM waves) as part of the intrinsic nature of every creature and object, and the importance of "transcendental consciousness" as a tool to get a glimpse at the unbelievable reality in which we are all immersed...

Beauty is a virtue. Everything beautiful in the world, that is, mountains, white sandy beaches, flowers, birds, butterflies, plants, cities, women, kids, etc, makes a person profoundly happy, complete, and sense of belonging to some virtuous place in the universe. On the other hand, being among ugly things everyday can make a person very depressed and can cause even death through severe depression. Ugly looking things represent all the negatives in live. Women are beautiful! I cherish all the beautiful things God created that is why I transitioned into a beautiful girl!!!! That is a deep spiritual side of me.

"Beauty indeed lies in the eye of the beholder" but its perception as with anything viewed, is derived in the brain. Perceiving every object as energy has been the key for my developing elation for it.

Last year when I was in Bali, I was in awe of its natural beauty. Especially when I went to a rice farm, I had a chance to see multiple rainbows and the trees were radiating energy. It felt like beauty was growing out of the earth and merging with the sky. I was really grateful for the beauty and the opportunity for me to experience it. On reflection, I also felt that it made me kinder, gentler, more generous and patient during the time I was in Bali and I am sure experience the magnificence was the reason for softening of my behavior.

Ken Wilber's passage reminds me of the song sung by a saint: "By losing myself I found myself." When the ego creates the world of this and that, mine and and thine, beauty and ugliness, the world of oneness and wholeness is cracked. It closes and blocks the Internal Eye, the Spiritual Eye, which sees the all-pervading, unending radiant beauty. Every thing is the manifestation of the Radiant Beauty- the all-pervading Divine Presence.
I feel the presence of Divinity when I let go of the grip of the grasping ego. When I am aware of the ego -created boundaries of separation I feel the presence of the Radiant Beauty in nature and in sentient beings. Daily practice of meditation and mindfulness open the door of my heart. I feel at home even though physically I may not be at home.I become intimate with me, with nature and the people with me and around me.
As mentioned before, loving awareness, meditation and mindful living help me to see the all-pervading "Beauty". T... [View Full Comment]

All that is, every plant, animal, person, and object, is an expression of and manifestation of God, so I know each one is the radiant beauty of Spirit. During the moments that I abide in that knowing I feel the radiant beauty of everything around me. Such times have happened in and immeditely following intimate being present with, sharing with, relationship with another or with nature. What helps me see the all pervading beauty around me, when I do, is living and seeing from the foundation that all creation is sacred, all creation is God incarnate.
