________________ Ideal Beauty Life is the echo of our co-ordinated duties; thus it is that the kaleidoscope of life is ever changing in its hues. What endures in this world after all: Colour, beauty, pride, prosperity and might are all transitory. Beauty and loveliness in this life are evanescent like the tints of twilight. Ideal beauty is, however, the beauty of the spirit. Loveliness abides not in the image embodied, but in the spirit pervading. If that spirit is grand, the perennial quintessence of our being can be comprehended aright as bliss incarnate. One who can apprehend this reality shall never fall a prey to any enchantment of this world. He would find rare delight in the exaltation of his original being, in the free play of loveliness emanating from the transcendental being ! Progenitor Life is not darkness, but light. Her progenitor is not the pitch-dark night of winter, but the fullmoon night of spring! 39
