The worldly only
cling to the beautiful.
— Shilashanti
(Part 1)
The so-called ‘beautiful’ is so
only when perceived
under certain conditions
of space and time.
When seen too far without,
it is only a blur.
When seen too near within,
it is only fluctuating particles.
When seen too soon,
it is only a forming form.
When seen too late,
it is only a deforming form.
The spiritual simply
become the wonderful.
