Beauty

What is Beauty?

Lets ask this question to ourselves with total potency and serenity.

If we dawn into the question deeply and investigate it we can see all that we know about beauty is just mere ideas or images fed into our minds through culture, society, education, films, media etc.
So if we discard this image aside for a moment and see through it we can actually understand that we don't know what beauty is.

Just look around in nature, "Can you  define Beauty" ?

i.e We can now accept either "Everything is Beautiful" or "Nothing is Beautiful"

Accepting this fact  actually is Beauty.

Chapter 10: The Human Goal: Moksha - Story of Kotikarna

Bhikshu Kotikarna mentioned that Moksha is to understand your true nature. (अपने असली स्वरूप को पहचानना ही मोक्ष है।). However, for a majority of us the question would remain as beautifully asked by the student in Vivekachoodamani: भ्रमेणाप्यन्यथा वाऽस्तु जीवभावः परात्मनः तदुपाधेरनादित्वान्नानादेनार्श इष्यते॥ अतोस्य जीवभावोऽपि नित्या भवति संसृतिः न निवर्तेत तन्मोक्षः कथं मे श्रीगुरो वद॥ [- १९२ & १९३] bhrameṇāpyanyathā vā'stu jīvabhāvaḥ parātmanaḥ tadupādheranāditvānnānādenārśa iṣyate. atosya jīvabhāvo'pi nityā bhavati saṁsṛtiḥ na nivarteta tanmokṣaḥ kathaṁ me śrīguro vada. [192 & 193] That the Supreme Self has come to consider itself as the jiva, through delusion or otherwise, is a superimposition which is beginning less. That which is beginning less cannot be said to have an end ! So the jiva-hood of the Self must also be without an end, ever subject to transmigration. Please tell me, O revered Teacher, how then can there be 'moksha' (liberation) for the Self? ...

Chap 33: AVATAR - God's Incarnations ( STORY OF VED VYAS)

Ved Vyaas, or Baadaraayan, or Krishna Dwaipaayan divided the Veda in four parts and taught them to his four disciples for the ease of learning, remembering and teaching to other people. Pail, Vaishampaayan, Sumantu, and Jaimini. Since Vyaas  expanded the Gyaan (knowledge) among the people so much, that is why he is known as the incarnation of knowledge also. Whenever the Dharma is destroyed from the Earth, Bhagvaan incarnates on the Earth. Incarnation is of four types - (1) Nityaavataar - He is present here all the time in the form of Saadhu, Sant (saints) and great Rishi. That is His Nityaavataar. (2) Anshaavataar - He incarnates in this form just to fulfill only one work, such as  Matsya Avataar ,  Varaah Avataar ,  Vaaman Avataar ,  Mohinee Avataar  etc. (3) Aaveshaavataar - He incarnates in this form for His Bhakt when he is in trouble, such as  Narasinh Avataar (4) Poorn Avataar - He incarnates in this form when He has to do all the above three...
