In India, beauty is attributed to Divinity. So, ‘Satyam Shivam Sundaram’ is a topic that has come up today. Beauty is benevolence and beauty is truth. ‘Satyam’ is the Truth that is beautiful and benevolent.
If you have ever gone to Bali in Indonesia, they greet you saying, ‘Om Swasti Astu’. This is an ancient Sanskrit term which means, “May you enjoy the Heaven and may you be established in yourself ”. Being established in you is the real Heaven. Not only physical healthy, but also mental, emotional and spiritual well-being.
Today, the World Health Organization has recognized the role of spirituality as that which brings you a sense of satisfaction, wellness, connectivity, and confidence in whatever you do.
Internal beauty reflects outer beauty Beauty has several dimensions – one is external beauty and one is internal beauty. Inner beauty reflects on the outer beauty. You look at children from anywhere in the world, there is subtle beauty in them. They don’t need any cosmetic; their very spirit exhibits beauty. That beauty indicates the state of mind, and the state of one’s mind definitely corresponds to the skin as well.
The skin of a baby is very different and its mind is also very different. So, the mind and the skin are very connected. In one of the scriptures in this country called Vigyan Bhairav, there is a meditation technique to take your attention beneath your skin; and here you will find the spirit being so alive to feel that underneath the skin, it is all hollow and empty. It is taking the attention to the self to find the inner beauty.
