Beauty and Asthetics
Beauty, wealth, intoxicants and all material desires are only temporary.
Indulgence does not bring peace to the mind or the soul. Not in this
life, nor after death.
- Make contentment your ear-rings, humility your begging bowl, and
meditation the ashes you apply to your body.

- God's court retains an account of all deeds. Only the beauty of the
Naam can save a soul.

- Without the name of God even beautiful and handsome people are as ugly
as the hunch-backs.

- In the company of the gurmukhs neither the wealth and physical beauty
of others is seen nor is backbiting committed.
