Devotion to beauty

The more you devote yourself to beauty, the more beautiful you become.

Find the beauty within you and make an ideal of beauty. If you do not have any ideal, choose somebody who is worshipping beauty. Take Christ, Buddha, Krishna, anyone you want, that you have the highest respect for. Or make an ideal.

Every day for ten minutes sit down and build it mentally. Ask yourself, “Okay, is it a woman or a man? What will be the physical shape of this man or woman?” You want to make a woman’s image so beautiful physically, her eyes, hair, ears, teeth, neck, shoulders, so beautiful. If some girls do this, even their shape will change because energy follows thought.

Devotion to beauty must be taught in high schools and colleges. Students must visualize a girl or a boy with whom they want to marry and form a family in the future. They must make that image more beautiful, day after day, year after year – beautiful physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. A few years later their image will serve them as a tool for pure discrimination. They will also try to find and to be an ideal woman or man. This will prevent them from involving themselves with those who live an ugly and harmful life.

In progressive visualization we think, “That is a beautiful girl. How is she going to relate to all other girls and boys?
We visualize her relations as beautiful. Next we are going to see that the girl is emotionally beautiful, graceful, knows how to talk, how to behave, her voice is beautiful, her expressions are beautiful. But suppose the girl we visualized is very ignorant. Well, now, the beauty is not complete. What are we going to do? We want to create a girl who is mentally beautiful too.

There are some girls that you cannot talk about to about anything but sex or food. That is all she knows. Do you know a little about astronomy, astrology? Do you know how to discriminate, how to be creative, to be an artist, and so on? What a beautiful joy it will be for a man to find a girl who is artistic and beautiful.

What is happening? We are trying to make these students be someone beautiful, instead of making themselves the copy of movie stars. We are trying to create in them a vision so that they create it and worship it. Devotion means slowly changing character and becoming the vision we created. Now if we do that we will have fantastic changes in our nation, in humanity, in schools.

Fathers and mothers can make their children do these exercises through their conversations. For example, they can ask, “If one day you want to marry, what kind of a person will you choose?” You can ask questions about the body shape they like, the emotional and mental development they want, or what virtues they want in their partner, such as honesty, nobility, and so on. Through conversation children can build better images of their future partner.
