CARESSING GLANCES & FLEETING KISSES - I

THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER

Let us visualize two different types of people; one who is clean, spotless, glowing, and true from inside; the second complicated, scheming, tied up in knots, secretive, and ridden with guilt and complexes and ambitions.

Whose eyes will jar one with a gleam of greed, jealousy, lust, scheming, ambition, aggression and bondage and confinement; and whose will embrace with reflections of love, truth, beauty, confidence, tolerance, sympathy, willingness, and open spaces and gentle breezes?

No amount of external effort can bring about that look. That beauty comes from the soul, and good health is attendant upon it.

The eye is a window to the soul. Eyes don’t lie. A single spurning glance can shake one to the core of one's being, and a fleeting look of affection can melt one into nothingness; one glance can scald like a hot iron, another glance can come as a refreshing splash from a cold mountain stream; one glance can be heaven and one can be hell.

Our eyes reflect Us! Our most powerful emotions and attributes are seen in the depth of our eyes, more often than not in the first glance!

We must decide today, now, what we wish to transmit - conceit, aggression, power, belligerence, hatred, anger, wickedness, lust - or serenity, calm, peace, happiness, love, truth, security, belief, confidence? What we are inside is what will echo in our eyes. What we reflect in our eyes will determine how the beholder perceives us at first glance. It may make us ugly to regard, no matter how flawless our face, figure or skin; or it may make our countenance angelic, no matter what our features or complexion.

The eye directly transmits PRANA, whatever energy one carries in one's soul, whether constructive or destructive, whether frightening or soothing, whether disconcerting or comforting. To the incredible extent that PRANA can be felt from the eyes of a picture on the wall.

This is the only way to understand why definitions of beauty encompass every shape, size, age, figure, complexion, colour, costume, fashion and adornment in the world!
