All that is beautiful belongs to the heaven. But where is the heaven? The place where we feel like going when we feel tired after a whole day's work is surely the heaven. We beautify that place according to our wish. Ones' heaven is his world of beauties.There are so many things in this material world. Out of these we only choose the beautiful things to decorate our heaven. So that is our heaven.
Beauty lies in between heaven and earth. All communication between heaven and earth takes place in terms of beauties. At the heart of such beauties the heavenly music keeps on humming.
Thus we can experience heaven only with the help of beauty; we can visualize a wonderful world with blue skies, cool breeze, green pastures and sweet fragrance of flowers. It is from this world that the heavenly light enters into our room. Our heart gets filled up with a longing for an everlasting happiness. Our heart starts singing that heavenly song, and looks for a special someone with whom it can share this beauty.
Beauty, with its enormous patience, keeps on revealing itself in front of our eyes and ears with an expectation that some day we will surely appreciate and enjoy.
We want to get rid of the parasitic world and come out into broad daylight. We would definitely love to do that. But who will bring us out ? Beauty itself, as love has no figure of its own. It is beauty that helps love to find a figurative form.
When love is a feeling, beauty provides the words; when love points out to the heart, beauty gives it the tune; when love is life, beauty gives it the figure.
That is why beauty arouses love, and love conversely depicts beauty. Thus, heaven, beauty and love always move together.
Translation based on Bengali works (articles) by Rabindranath Tagore.
