Acharya Prashant explains that people often feel disillusioned when they uncover a beautiful facade only to find ugliness beneath it. He argues that this happens because the process of unmasking is incomplete. People tend to stop at ugliness because it serves their pre-existing worldview that the world is a bad place and they are victims. This self-fulfilling prophecy allows individuals to maintain their current way of life and avoid the risk of moving into the unknown. He emphasizes that if the outer beauty was a delusion, then the underlying ugliness is equally unreal. He suggests that one must continue unmasking beyond the concepts of beauty and ugliness until reaching a point of total absence of conceptualization. This state is described as a vast silence and purity that is neither beautiful nor ugly in the conventional sense. Real beauty, according to him, is that which relaxes the individual and removes all excitement or arousal. This process of fully uncovering the other is parallel to uncovering one's own eyes. Ultimately, reaching a state where there are no eyes looking at no faces represents the essence of sacredness and spirituality.
