We are not terrified of beauty. But we are terrified of fear. The unknown. We fear how it might harm us, disrupt our peace, our very basis of life that we work so hard to build everyday. We don't find any such fear in beauty. We know it cannot harm us. It's nature is benign, +
gentle. We might not understand the nature of beauty altogether, but we do know it won't harm us. We want to include beauty in our life in every aspect. But that's not the case with the nature of fear. We distrust it. We run from it. We don't want to include fear in our life +
in any form. But once the very nature of fear becomes known, would we still run from it? Supposedly we see a terrible thing in front of us, our first instinct would be to shield ourself from it, for we don't know what it might do to us. But wht if we establish our understanding +
on a level, where we don't instill any difference between us and the terrible thing that we see. How could we run away from ourself? We know us. We don't run away from our own image. What if fear by itself turns a subject of beauty for us? Of acceptance. Of recognition. We +
accept something we know. We won't run from fear once we realize what we see is what we are. Just as our gaze falls upon the universe, the universe watches over us with countless such eyes every moment. Unbeknownst to us. But we don't live in constant fear of it, because we +
don't have the ability to see it. However when our understanding is put on a level where we are able to identity ourselves with the world, and the world and all its entities with ourselves, there is no question of fear ever rising. Or any such adjacent emotion. That is the +
nature of Sadhana. Being still at the heart of chaos. Being unaffected at all situations. That's the first level of grace. The first step to liberation.
