Who is really beautiful and charming

Beauty does not lie in any outward appearance, complexion, costume and jewels, toilet and personal embellishment; beauty associated with these is only conceptual. At some places a fair complexion is looked upon as charming, while at others a dark complexion is regarded as a mark of beauty. Likewise the conception o comeliness in regards to costume and jewels too is different. People hold different notions in regard to the comeliness of limbs too. To a voluptuary the limbs that Accenture one’s carnal appetite appears charming, while those very limbs appear most hideous to the eyes of those who are averse to the pleasures of sense.

Really speaking, he alone is charming who has a charming heart, whose heart is full of charming ideas sentiments and virtues like aversion to the pleasures of sense, self-abnegation harmlessness, love, tenderness, susceptibility to other’s suffering, humility, compassion, modesty, forbearance, the spirit of service, self-control, saintliness, even- mindedness and serenity. The effulgence of these charming sentiments and virtues of the heart is reflected as a matter of course in the countenance, the eyes, nay, in every limb of the man or woman possessing such a charming heart and that effulgence unfolds these virtues in the hearts of on-lookers according to the degree of intensity of his or her sentiments.

You get frightened at the sight of a particular individual, the sight of another rids you at all fear; you get provoked to see a third individual, while the sight of a fourth engenders a spirit of forgiveness in you; you are smitten with charts of love to see yet another, while the sight of another naturally makes you inclined to practice self-control. All this happens because the countenance of the individual you come across reflects those sentiments which react on you.

The world is made up of three constituents of Prakrti, viz; Sattva Rajas, Tamas. That is why the heart of every man is characterized more or less with the quality of Sattva as well as with that of Tamas—has the angel as well as the demon in him. By your Sattvika or Tamasika propensities, your divine or demonic traits, you arouse the angel in some and the demon in the others.

Charming is he whose very sight suppresses and disperses our sinful thoughts, and awakens, nay, fosters pious thoughts, awakens, and activates the angel in us and suppresses and knocks down the devil.

He worse heart is full of evil thoughts, vicious, propensities and evil traits like attachment and aversion, lust, anger, greed, animosity, violence, infatuation, vanity, pride, bias, sensuality and disquietude is not really charming even though outwardly good-looking and well-dressed and well-adorned, but us ghastly. He himself ever continues to be an abode of evils; for the devil in him is awake and active and, communicating his ghastly ideas and sentiments hidden under the cloak of his counterfeit comeliness to those who come into contact with him, how seeks to turn them into demons or ogres.

That comeliness alone is real, which is accompanied by unimpeachable of character, sublimity of sentiments and purity of conduct. All other comeliness is actually like a glittering jar of gold full of venom. Guard yourself against such ghastly beauty and hence, making it a point not to fall a victim to the craze for external charms, costume and ornaments, toilet and embellishment, beauty your thoughts, sentiments and traits and according to them your actions. Thereby the health of your body, mind and intellect will ensured and thereby you will be able to realize your health self.

Foul thoughts, undesirable sentiments, evil traits and evil deeds constitute a hell in themselves and lead to hell. They are fraught with impurity and ugliness from one end to another, even though they may appear tidy and charming externally in some cases.
