How beautiful is beautiful?

Lets talk abt a guy fallin in love with a gal, coz its easier.. LOL

When you fall in love in the beginning the girl is not of this world; he comes from somewhere else-she is an apsara, a nymph from heaven. But by and by, the more you become acquainted, the girl becomes more and more ordinary, earthly, and homely. Suddenly you find there is nothing-this is just an ordinary girl-and then you think that this girl has deceived you. Nobody has deceived you. Your mind is projected so that desire could move.

Beauty doesn’t exist in things; beauty is a projection. Beauty is not objective; it is subjective. One day somebody looks beautiful, another day the same person looks ugly. It is you who projects; the other works as a screen.

Once you come to know that the mind projects beauty and ugliness, that the mind projects good and bad, you
stop projecting. Then for the first time you come to know what objective reality is. It is neither good nor bad; it is neither beautiful nor ugly-it simply is. All your interpretations drop with the projections.
There is no way to experience your own beauty. All knowledge needs a certain distance between the knower and the known. If the beauty is physical then there are ways to know it-you can see yourself in a mirror. But if the beauty is coming out of your silence, out of your peace, out of your inner splendor, then there is no way to know it yourself, because it is not reflected in a mirror. You can experience it.

The most important thing to remember is that the beauty that you have seen in a person is not their own, it is yours too-it is everyone’s. The bodies may be different, but the inner fire is the same. And when that fire starts radiating from your body, it creates a certain grace, a certain beauty. It is no one’s monopoly. It is everyone’s intrinsic potentiality.

If you can see a persons beauty, that’s an indication of seeing your own beauty; The other person is nothing but a mirror to you. But it often happens…looking in the mirror you may see a beautiful face, and if you are asleep or drunk or half-asleep, half-awake, you may think the mirror is very beautiful. But the mirror is just a mirror; it is only reflecting you. In life, what you see shows much about you, not about what you are seeing.

The same sunset looks beautiful to one person, and to another, poignant. And to another it doesn’t matter; he remains indifferent. It all depends upon you. If you see the beautiful in me something beautiful has arisen in you. It is part of your own seeing; it has nothing to do with the other person. THE other person is just a victim! Today you find this person beautiful. Tomorrow if you are angry at that person, then too remember; if you see that this is the antichrist, it is your own idea.

This has to be understood deeply, because then you don’t create the illusion and make it objective. You should always remember that whatever you see in the world is your own projection. Yes, there is a state when you are beyond mind and all projections have dropped. Then you see the world as it is. It is unimaginably beautiful, but that beauty is a totally different kind of beauty; it is not your own projection.
