Initiation into Beauty

Man must be gradually initiated into beauty, for beauty exists only when man develops senses to recognize and appreciate beauty.

The imposition of beauty may create many undesirable reactions. Forced beauty irritates those who have no mechanism to receive, assimilate, or express it. This irritation turns into fear and hatred. Persecution of great Masters of Wisdom and of the Arts and Knowledge, originates from such facts.

That is why the sense of beauty must be cultivated from an early age, gradually, and with great watchfulness so that the spirit of beauty is rooted and properly nourished in the hearts of the children of the world.
