Our Eyes Are Given to See the Beauty of God
A spiritual discourse on the aim of seeing God's beauty and attaining self-realization.
"Holy Gurujī said, 'I have seen many sights, but now I want to see that which I have not seen, and that I see is within me: ātmā jñāna, self-realization.'"
"Paramahaṁsa Yogānanda said, 'O God beautiful, O God beautiful, in the mountains, in the forest, in the rivers, in the lake, in the desert, in the ocean, in the sky, in the stars, O God beautiful, O God beautiful.'"
The speaker recounts Holy Gurujī's visit to Prague, using the saint's refusal of a sightseeing tour to illustrate the true spiritual aim: to see the divine within. The teaching emphasizes that eyes are meant to see God's beauty in all creation, a consciousness described as the first realization leading to self-knowledge.
