47. Beauty
The beauty of the soul in usIs crying for its revelation,
But we are crying
For the manifestation
Of our body's beauty.
The day we stop crying
For the revelation
Of our body's beauty,
The beauty of our soul
Will play its role
In and through us.
When this beauty of our soul
Plays its role satisfactorily,
The beauty of the physical
Becomes divine, perfect and immortal.
Sri Chinmoy, God-Compassion and God-Justice, Agni Press, 1975
