- Reader of the sutras: Sw Anand Vimal.
- The sutra
- And a poet said, speak to us of beauty.
- And he answered:
- Where shall you seek beauty, and how shall you find her unless she herself be your way and your guide?
- And how shall you speak of her except she be the weaver of your speech?
- The aggrieved and the injured say,
- "Beauty is kind and gentle.
- Like a young mother half-shy of her own glory she walks among us."
- And the passionate say, "Nay, beauty is a thing of might and dread.
- Like the tempest she shakes the earth beneath us and the sky above us."
- The tired and the weary say, "Beauty is of soft whisperings. She speaks in our spirit.
- Her voice yields to our silences like a faint light that quivers in fear of the shadow."
- But the restless say, "We have heard her shouting among the mountains,
- And with her cries came the sound of hoofs, and the beating of wings and the roaring of lions."
- At night the watchmen of the city say, "Beauty shall rise with the dawn from the East."
- And at noontide the toiler and the wayfarers say, "We have seen her leaning over the earth from the windows of the sunset."
- In winter say the snow-bound, "She shall come with the spring leaping upon the hills."
- And in the summer heat the reapers say, "We have seen her dancing with the autumn leaves, and we saw a drift of snow in her hair."
- All these things have you said of beauty,
- Yet in truth you spoke not of her but of needs unsatisfied,
- And beauty is not a need but an ecstasy.
- It is not a mouth thirsting nor an empty hand stretched forth,
- But rather a heart inflamed and a soul enchanted.
- It is not the image you would see nor the song you would hear,
- But rather an image you see though you close your eyes and a song you hear though you shut your ears.
- It is not the sap within the furrowed bark, nor a wing attached to a claw,
- But rather a garden for ever in bloom and a flock of angels for ever in flight.
- People of Orphalese, beauty is life when life unveils her holy face.
- But you are life and you are the veil.
- Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror.
- But you are eternity and you are the mirror.
