"When we are talking about the art of living, we should also ask what beauty is. When you see great architecture, the cathedrals of Europe, the great temples and the mosques of the world, constructed by great architects, great painters, the great sculptors like Michelangelo, that is beauty. So is beauty man-made? Please exercise your brain to find out. A tiger is not man-made. Thank the Lord! A tree in a field, alone, solitary, with all the dignity of a marvelous old tree, is not man-made. But the moment you paint that tree, that is man-made, and you admire it, go to a museum to see the tree painted by a great artist. So another part of the art of living is to understand the depth and the beauty of freedom, and the goodness of it. The aesthetic quality in life is born of sensitivity, is born out of all the senses in action, not one particular sense, but the whole movement of the senses. Surely beauty is when the self is not. When I am not, beauty is. When the self is not, love is."
Krishnamurti, "Love, Freedom, Goodness, Beauty Are One"
Partilho aqui, conforme prometido, a reflexão com que abrimos a nossa última aula.
"The whole movement of the senses" - this phrase moved me so much.
