Real beauty can never be enjoyed without rooting out the dirt

Real beauty can never be enjoyed without rooting out the dirt

Source: AvatarMeher.org, AMB Hyderabad Center During a discussion on Saturday, 13 February 1932, the topic of beauty came up in the presence of a few outsiders. To explain further, Baba spelled out: I like beauty in everything; but what is beauty? The beauty that never perishes, that is immortal, is real beauty. Look at the human body.
