What is beauty?

 

Where is beauty?

 

Is it in the object or in the eye?

 

You project your idea of beauty

on the object you are looking at.

 

That is all.

 

There is a beautiful sunset there.

 

The moment you even say to yourself

that it is beautiful,

you are not looking at it at all.

 

Beauty is not in the object.

 

It is not in the beholder's eye either.

 

It is in the total abandonment of yourself.

 

So, what is beauty?

 

You really don't know.

 

You wouldn't know what you are looking at.

 

And in that state of not knowing

what is there fills the whole of your being.

 

That you may call beauty.

 

But there is nobody

who describes that beauty

and says he is enjoying it.

 

If you capture that

in terms of your experiencing structure,

then it is lost.
