Internal Beauty- Essence of The Soul

"Beauties in vain their pretty eyes may roll, Charm strikes the sight but- merit wins the soul."

Gold is a precious metal that glitters beautifully. But all that glitters is not gold. Thus, outwardly a man may look innocent but he may be cruel at heart. Face is no more the index of the mind. Appearances are generally deceptive. Beauty is the essence of life but inner beauty is the essence of the soul. Who knows that a person with a beautiful face may have an ugly heart? Sometimes it so happens that a gentle hearted person appears to be rogue but in fact he is not. The face does not speak often anything about the mind.

The person who is beautiful from within is blessed with an aura and fullness that external beautification will never find. Your thoughts, your values make up your inner beauty as if they are pure they give life a better meaning. External beauty fades with time, but internal beauty is with you forever. Real beauty is not the physical beauty all the time. It lies in human character and human heart. Handsome is he who handsome does. Beauty is short lived. It fades away too soon. But the beauty of the heart is eternal joy giving and ever growing gentility of heart and nobility of character are the hallmarks of one's personality.

Mahatma Gandhi was thin, lean and not very a very handsome person. But he showed to the whole world that his noble deeds were things of beauty. Lal Bahadur Shastri was a short stature man but he proved to be a strong man and could give a tough resistance to a formidable enemy.

The real test of man lies in his deeds and not his words, in his character and not in his appearance. Now all the expressions like dress, gait may be considered deceptive. We should be guided by the factual things and not by the outward looks.

"Inner beauty gives you a richness which outer beauty alone can't accomplish."
