Being Embarrassed by Beauty
We turn our backs on nature; We want to live more in the world – Why?
Because We're very embarrassed by beauty. Because of What? Because of one's own beliefs and one's ego. We can never be humble if we have considered ourselves better. The understanding of others reveals our ignorance. We never accept anyone or anything as more beautiful than us. If someone's face is beautiful then we have to prove that one is ugly in some way or the other. And the beauty of nature makes our identity disappear. If we look at ourselves through the eyes of Nature we will recognize how ugly we are!The passage you've shared seems to convey the idea that human beings often distance themselves from nature and fail to appreciate its beauty because of ego, the need to protect one's self-image, and a lack of humility. Here's a breakdown of the key points:
Turning our backs on nature: This may refer to the modern trend of urbanization and disconnection from the natural world. Many people live in cities and spend most of their time indoors, distancing themselves from nature.
Living more in the world: This could mean that we are more focused on materialistic and worldly pursuits, often valuing them over a connection with nature.
Being embarrassed by beauty: People may feel uncomfortable or threatened by the beauty of nature, possibly because it highlights their own insecurities or vulnerabilities.
One's own beliefs and ego: Ego and personal beliefs can prevent people from appreciating the beauty of nature. They may feel that acknowledging the beauty of something outside of themselves threatens their self-image or beliefs.
Inability to be humble: This suggests that true humility is challenging to achieve if we continually compare ourselves to nature's beauty and find ourselves lacking.
Understanding of others revealing ignorance: When we refuse to accept the beauty in others or nature, it can expose our ignorance and self-centeredness. We may overlook the richness and diversity of the world around us.
Insecurity about beauty: If someone possesses beauty or something is beautiful, some individuals may feel the need to devalue it or find flaws in it, as a way to preserve their own self-worth.
Nature making our identity disappear: The idea here is that when we truly immerse ourselves in the beauty of nature, we are humbled, and our ego-driven identity diminishes. We recognize our own imperfections and insignificance in the face of the natural world.
This passage emphasizes the importance of humility, self-reflection, and a genuine appreciation of the beauty that surrounds us in the natural world. It suggests that our ego and insecurities can prevent us from fully connecting with and appreciating the beauty of nature.
खूबसूरती से शर्मिंदा होना
हम प्रकृति से मुंह मोड़ लेते हैं; हम संसार में ज़्यादा रहना चाहते हैं- क्यों? क्योंकि हम सुंदरता से बहुत शर्मिंदा होते हैं। किस के कारण? खुद की मानता के कारण और खुद के अहंकार के कारण। हम कभी भी निम्रतवान नहीं हो सकते, क्योंकि हम ने खुद को बेहतर माना हुआहै। दूसरे की समझ- हमारी नासमझी को प्रकट करती है। हम कभी भी किसी को या किसी चीज़ को अपने से अधिक सुंदर स्वीकार नहीं करते। अगर किसी का चेहरा सुंदर है तो हम ने उस को कहीं न कहीं से बदसूरत साबित कर ही देना है। और प्रकृति की सुंदरता तो हमारी पहचान ही गायब कर देती है। अगर हम खुद को प्रकृति की आँखों से देखेंगे तो हम खुद को पहचान लेंगे कि हम कितने बदसूरत हैं!
