The party was in full swing , everybody seemed to be enjoying the music , some swayed with their cocktails and others enjoyed delicious looking appetizers . Amidst all this I was busy , as usual , doing what I do best – TALKING . I was busy having idle chit chat with a friend when I just remembered and complemented her on her pictures that I had seen a few days back on face book . As I generously poured compliments about her and her holiday destination she smiled and said ‘’ but I was looking so fat in them ‘’. That just stopped me short and believe it or not , honest to goodness , might be difficult for a few to comprehend also , that I – shubhli bhalla – was at loss of words . Am grateful to god that the catastrophic moment lasted only a min or so [ seemed like eternity to me though ] . But then I gatherd my composure and looked straight in her eyes and said ‘’ when I see people , I SEE SOULS and I know that you are an amazingly beautiful person ‘’ . She blushed and thanked me . But as I sat back and reflected on the situation I realized that she is not the only one. I have personally come across so many friends who judge their worth according to their physical appearance or bank balance . But why – may I please ask . Being a good human being or a good soul is worth thousands of Gucci dresses , Jimmy Choo shoes , Cartier watches , Fendi shades [am more partial to channel though ] or Tiffany jewellery . It is plain as the nose on your face that A GOOD SOUL IS PRICELESS . TO QUOTE KAHLIL GIBRAN ” BEAUTY IS NOT IN THE FACE , BEAUTY IS A LIGHT IN THE HEART ” .
Trust me guys , this is a fact and it is not a rule made by me but God Almighty . If anyone has read the book ‘’ LAWS OF THE SPIRIT WORLD by Khorshed Bhavnagri ‘’ they would know what I am taking about . On earth physical beauty may be a top priority but it is not so in the various Realms of the Spirit World . On those Realms a soul would be glowing and sparkling with a perfect spirit body , where as when judged by the earthly standards that soul may be stamped ordinary or even unattractive on account of her physical appearance . On the other hand a body as beautiful as lets say Aishwarya Rai’s may be ugly and disfigured in the realms of the spirit world . Why so – one may ask ….. because a soul is our reality , a soul is our true existance , not the physical body which we just don for a specific period . But sadly many of us forget this truth and start judging people on their outward appearance . Forget others we ourselves mostly judge ourselves by the dress size we fit in…….small is fantastic and extra large gets a thumb down . Loosing a few pound makes us feel good about ourselves and gaining depresses us . we simply eye a slim person and immediately categorize her to the beautiful zone . BUT THEN ” THAT WHICH IS STRIKING AND BEAUTIFUL IS NOT ALWAYS GOOD , BUT THAT WHICH IS GOOD IS ALWAYS BEAUTIFUL ” .
As a wise man said ‘’ a books cover may be very attractive , but what hold the attention is the matter inside ‘’ . Similarly a person may look gorgeous on the outside but it’s their purity , their depth , their insight that will make you want to spend more time with them . So guys collect beautiful souls as friends . Dresses , jwellery , styles and trends come and go , but a beautiful , sympathetic , loving nature stays for ever .
And as for those who feel superior to others on account of their blessings of physical and material wealth , I actually , really and truly feel sorry for them . Can’t help but put a little distance between me and them . For they negatively affect your spiritual progress and on the contrary I would love to place pious and loving souls in my bouquet of friends . Beautiful souls who would help to awaken and strengthen the subconscious mind . I would also like to add that here i am not asking you to not make any more efforts to make your self pretty on the outside also . when i see the picture of yogeshwar krishna i see him decked up from head to toe in finest of silk and jwellery , its very pleasing to the eye but what is elevating is that he is deep in meditation , making his aura , his presence absolutely supreme , absolutely perfect .
In the end I would like to say that when I ask you all to be ‘’ GORGEOUS HAMESHA ‘’ remember that I am wishing for your soul to be ‘’ ETERNALLY BEAUTIFUL ‘’. God bless.
too good written….i also believe in the same theory tht one should be beautiful frm inside nt frm outside….when i met u i felt tht some souls are beautiful frm outside and inside also….nnnnnnnn;
remember that talk we had abt girls shd look girly, for guys to drool.. it follows the same path na.
Couldnt have agreed more SHubhings.. but unfortunate it is the PUNJABIS infact who are the MOST ” shallow” amongst them all..they might even say how they dont care about the x & y, but end of it all.. look at the marriages these days, the functions, the amt. the girl side ” gifts” to the guy side.. everything is such a sham. … But less bless all those souls and hope sense would pour in soon.. 🙂
To know ‘souls’ takes time and patience and this is where the problem lies. The first impression is immediate and obviously is surface based and is so easy to formulate. It is so human to be taken in by appearances and it is only the circumstances that reveal ‘souls’/ ‘friends’ among ‘acquaintances’ in the long run.
