Accept yourself

Accept your natural self; it is inherently beautiful.

A long nose is positive, like Gaṇeśa's. Do not use excessive makeup; let your skin regenerate. Use only necessary amounts. Unkempt beards are unnatural and unclean; keep your given hair washed and neat. Do not color your hair; artificial chemicals attract negative reactions from nature, like bees. Do not hide gray hair; it signifies dignified age. Maintain neat hair and clean dress, behaving properly without artifice. This approach also relates to environmental protection. Using less makeup reveals your true beauty over time. A car's paint does not change its fundamental age.

"God has given you a beautiful color; leave it as it is."

"A 20-year-old car, doesn't matter how much you will paint, is 20 years old."

Accept yourself, and you are very beautiful; no one can defeat you. Some people said my nose is too long. I said, "It's a pity." It's still not long enough; otherwise, you would be prayed to and adored like Gaṇeśa. Gaṇeśa doesn't go for beauty operations, no? So everything is beautiful, and Gaṇeśa in every aspect is beautiful. Gaṇeśa is the most beautiful one; when he smiles, it's so beautiful. You will never see him angry, so a long nose is very good. If you fall down, the long nose will protect your teeth. Thanks to God, everything has its positive sides. He is famous for his positive side, so don't use too much makeup. Let your skin regenerate again. And if you are doing it, then use that much material which you need for three months, or one day, that you should use for three days, or three months. That's it. So, did you make up your mind about what I said? Little girls, young girls, young boys? Now these boys have this gale, you know, here, my God, they're looking like a pig coming out of somewhere, you know, like this. They look so ugly; it doesn't look like a gentleman, and if you touch it, then not even the flies sit there, yes. It is so many, it is so ugly, so that even the mistaken mosquito doesn't go there. Therefore, God has given you beautiful hair, and it is clean; wash it, that's all. And many color their hair; many girls, they want to look like, I don't know, blonde or what do you call it, hair, hair, no? The first day is very good. The second day is okay; the third day, reality you see, so how long will you hide? Therefore, God has given you a beautiful color; leave it as it is. So those girls who have the artificial color and a lot of chemicals and spray, never go near the bee, honey bees. Otherwise, they will attack in such a way; honey bees don't like this smell. In Jordan, on my balcony, there is such a big wild honeybee web, web, web, honeybee house. Not wasps, bees, the wax, the whole bee house. And when some boys and girls go, they are peaceful. But suddenly somebody came who had hair like this, and like that, and like this, and the bees were singing. The bees made such a noise, more than the cobras. Not one, all. When Olga came, they were very peaceful, and then Olga took some karma yoga for some girls; there were some girls, and when those girls came who had a lot of chemicals, the bees were making zzzzzz. So Olga closed that door and went in the other door. And some people, they try to hide their gray hair. That's a pity. You know how hard and how long we had to wait finally to get gray hair. God, when you color, God is saying, "My God, this person doesn't understand at all what life is." A seventy-five-year-old lady comes with such a nice color like a twenty-year-old girl. I'm confused; is it a different head, or is it a parruque, or what is that? You are 75; your hair is gray, very fine, beautiful; you look so really like a 75-year-old. A respected person, with dignity. Otherwise, everybody with this grandmother is still not certified for her desires. So I would suggest you not to color your hair, but keep it neat. Of course, when the tree grows very wild, we have to cut some branches. So in a certain way, you should cut your hair, nice clean, clean dress, look, of course, behave properly, but not artificially, and this is how also the subject of the environment, peace, protection of the wildlife, protection of the vegetation, protection of the water, and your own protection. So if you will use less and less of these makeup materials, you will get used to it; after one month, you will see yourself how beautiful you are now, before was not really like that. A 20-year-old car, doesn't matter how much you will paint, is 20 years old. A 20-year-old car, doesn't matter how much you will paint, is 20 years old. 20 years old car, doesn't matter how much you will paint, is 20 years old.
