Acharya Prashant explains that there are two kinds of beauty. The first is natural beauty, which is found in nature—in a duck, a mountain, a river, a pebble, a lion, or a rabbit. This beauty exists without any consciousness behind it. A rabbit is born as it is; it doesn't have to strive to become a cute rabbit. This natural beauty is beautiful because consciousness has not yet begun in it, and therefore, consciousness has not become dirty. It is beautiful because it is devoid of consciousness. Since it is devoid of consciousness, it is, in a way, pure. For something to get dirty, it must first exist. Nature lacks consciousness, so it cannot be corrupted. The second kind of beauty is man-made, which means it is created by consciousness. Using the analogy of a glass of water, he explains that human consciousness can be clean or it can get dirty; both possibilities exist. Even if the water in a glass appears clean, it is continuously being polluted by absorbing gases from the air and dust particles. The point is that as soon as consciousness comes into being, its pollution also begins. Therefore, man-made creations are beautiful only when they are made from a clean, or the highest, consciousness. By default, anything nature creates will be beautiful because it cannot be corrupted, whereas human consciousness has the full potential to be polluted. These two types of beauty should exist in our lives. Whatever is natural should be kept uncorrupted, and whatever is conscious should be unpolluted. The speaker uses the example of a mountain and a person on it: the mountain is beautiful when it is untouched, while the person is beautiful only when their consciousness is of the highest order. The same standard cannot be applied to both. This also applies to innocence. A child is innocent because they are natural and not yet corrupted by society; their mind is like an empty glass. A grown-up, however, can only be called innocent if their consciousness is clean. Acharya Prashant states that the human condition is to be born with a tendency to accumulate, and this accumulation, which is consciousness, is bound to get polluted. People often mistake their pollutions for their assets and take pride in them. Spirituality, he says, is nothing but the honesty to see things as they are. This honesty is the missing link between spiritual knowledge and life transformation. The only way is love—a love that does not demand or offer reciprocity.
