Poems on beauty<\/strong> by Sri Chinmoy<\/p>\n

Appreciate beauty,
\nOnly to become
\nBeauty itself.<\/div>\n

1<\/a><\/sup> <\/span><\/p>\n

Beauty
\nIs my heart’s
\nMind-transcendence-hope.<\/div>\n

2<\/a><\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n

My heart’s aspiration-beauty-flames
\nAre destined to climb
\nThe transcendental Heights
\nOf the Beyond.<\/div>\n

3<\/a><\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n

When I look at a child,
\nHe gives me
\nHis soul-beauty-dreams.<\/div>\n

4<\/a><\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n

Eternity’s Beauty
\nIs in my mind’s
\nSelf-control.
\nInfinity’s Beauty
\nIs in my life’s
\nTransformation-goal.<\/div>\n

5<\/a><\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n

You are God’s Beauty:
\nBeauty human,
\nBeauty divine,
\nBeauty supreme.
\nThis lofty truth shall forever remain unchallenged.<\/div>\n

6<\/a><\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n

Earth’s beauty
\nIs in its soulfully smiling hope.
\nHeaven’s beauty
\nIs in its peacefully loving promise.<\/div>\n

7<\/a><\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Power
\nFrightens us.<\/p>\n

Beauty
\nEnlightens us.<\/p>\n

8<\/a><\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The outer beauty
\nDies.
\nThe inner beauty
\nPrevails.<\/div>\n

9<\/a><\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n

Love is beauty\u2019s
\nSweet touch.<\/div>\n

10<\/a><\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n

Silence transforms
\nEverything into beauty.<\/div>\n
\n

11<\/a><\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Beautiful, more beautiful,
\nMost beautiful \u2014
\nThe golden disc in the eastern firmament
\nEarly in the morning!<\/div>\n

12<\/a><\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n

\n
Tenderness lives with beauty.
\nKindness lives in beauty.
\nSoulfulness houses beauty.
\nOneness feeds beauty.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

13<\/a><\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n

\n
Unlike the mind,
\nThe heart sees everything
\nAs beautiful, more beautiful
\nAnd most beautiful.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

14<\/a><\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
You are beautiful, more beautiful, most beautiful,
\nBeauty unparalleled in the garden of Eden.
\nDay and night may Thy image abide
\nIn the very depth of my heart.
\nWithout You my eyes have no vision,
\nEverything is an illusion, everything is barren.
\nAll around me, within and without,
\nThe melody of tenebrous pangs I hear.
\nMy world is filled with excruciating pangs.
\nO Lord, O my beautiful Lord,
\nO my Lord of beauty, in this lifetime
\nEven for a fleeting second,
\nMay I be blessed with the boon
\nTo see Thy Face.<\/div>\n

Writing on Beauty<\/h4>\n

“The poet Keats said, “A thing of beauty is a joy forever.” But what is that thing? That thing, from the spiritual point of view, is our soul. The soul is eternally beautiful. God expresses Himself in the physical through beauty, pure beauty, beauty without a blemish. This beauty is not merely skin-deep, but it is in the soul. Here the soul is expressing itself through the physical form.” – Sri Chinmoy<\/p>\n
