The Power of Pure Love
Only Pure Love for beauty can take you very far on the path of evolution, but love for spiritual beauty, Divine beauty, which is purity, harmony, and intelligence all at once. Yes, understand this well: Love for beauty is a true protection, for it is what will prevent you from straying into mediocrity, baseness, and everything that can sully your heart and soul. It is like a garment that protects you. Look: you are wearing a magnificent new dress; would you go and do the dishes or the housework in it?
No, because you will get dirty. But if you have old clothes that are already dirty, how gladly you will continue to soil them!
So why not draw a conclusion for your inner life?
Suppose you have within you a magnificent garment, a pure, luminous aura—this is the true garment—you would not dare to soil it; therefore, it protects you. This is how love for beauty can save you.
