Face beauty,fake beauty
Exactly after 11months,i saw the mirror keenly.A pale,sick,tired face appeared .It was not i...believe
me...it was not i...i used to be a pretty girl.But the thick layer of circumstances covered my face...my
silence covered my helplessness.Being in front of mirror,was like a knell...i rushed towards tha cell phone and asked my friend:
am i pretty?
yes:)
It was not a satisfactory answer.I thought she is my friend that's why she is saying so.So i replied:
you are my friend na:)
no!you are!
I left the cell phone somewhere on the table and then again a face...a hostile face appeared in the
mirror.I was lamenting over my lost beauty and then suddenly,the man who was in the novel appeared in my mind he knocked at my filthy mind and i opened all the doors for him as he was superior and religious.He,then,said:
"you are searching for the mortal beauty!?you are lamenting
over your ugliness?!no!my child!God does not impressed by
your face beauty.He is perfectionist then how can you be an
ugly creature?He is the best creator!and you are the best cre-
ature.If you really want to make yourself beautiful then
concentrate on the beauty of soul.If you've a pure soul then
you can have beauty.Spiritual beauty matters.This mortal,fake
beauty is of no use..it is mortal where as pure soul is immortal
.If you have the beauty of soul then no matter how ugly or dirty
you are,you will be loved by Him."
Saying this he went away,and then that face seemed familiar.I sat down on the chair and thought
about my soul.It was filthy,dirty stained by every evil.It made me to weep.Then i decided to make my soul pure,beautiful rather than my face.After all when i'll nourish the beauty inside then it'll be,automatically, appeared outside.
Well said! As the cliche puts it, beauty from the inside shines out. However pretty you are, time will take it away from you. It can never last. But prettiness of the soul will remain, as you've said yourself. I'm happy that your thoughts are gaining maturity. :) Keep thinking, and keep getting revelations.
ReplyDeletecircumstances teach you to be mature and i am learning from my teacher.
ReplyDeleteThank you Zarnab for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteWhat you have written here is true indeed. The soul and the face-both are given by God, but it is also true that even if somebody tarnishes the face/body, the soul can never be tarnished if we do not want it to.
The body is a temporary physical container/cover of the soul. The soul is immortal,undefeated.
Another thing -one of the most beautiful faces might have the ugliest heart.
The point is that are we happy and do we have peace of mind ? Purifying the soul can give us peace.
I would recommend you to read Louise Hay books,particularly "You can heal your body " and other books.{ i.e. if you haven't read already}
have a nice day!
yeah true,thanks for sharing your thoughts:)and i'll read it for sure:)
ReplyDeletewell said ,well written
ReplyDeletei am glad you liked it:)
DeleteZarab, you ARE a beautiful soul. You shine from the inside out. Here, the powerful story of The Velveteen Rabbit. God gave it to me, and now I’m passing it along to you, my new friend. The spiritual journey is about being Real. So how does it happen? Not overnight, that’s for sure. The best way to show how it happens is to take a listen to the Skin Horse’s answer to the Velveteen Rabbit who wanted more than anything to become Real. When the rabbit asked him, “What is Real?” he answered,
ReplyDelete“Real isn’t how you’re made… It’s a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real…It doesn’t happen all at once…You become. It takes a long time.
“That’s why it doesn’t often happen to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don’t matter at all, because once you are Real, you can’t be ugly, except to people who don’t understand.”
yeah true!you know sometimes i think why people dont understand this phenomenon,people who really matter for me.but then i think people should not be so much important for me as GOD should be.i AM on this stage of spirituality where i am distinguishing between people and GOD.wish me best of luck for my spiritual journey:)and glad to see you here
