The awareness of beauty is more than a perfect visual moment such as a perfect sunset. It is a soul- deep feeling-experience of the beauty in all people and in all situations, including one’s “mundane” daily interaction with spouse and children. Sometimes, in the midst of some activity, Gabriel will turn to Shanti and share his experience of her beauty. This recognition usually changes the moment and is a reminder of the sacredness of our relationship and the moment. It is developing the inner eye that experiences perfection in what may appear as an “imperfect person or situation.” In kabbalistic terminology it is the practice of azamara, or seeing the spark of light in all things and situations. We are not creating an illusionary spark of light but are seeing the beauty or spark of light that is already there, which we had not previously recognized. Once we have found one spark of light, it opens the door to seeing even more sparks of light as beauty in a person or situation. What opens us up to the beauty in all situations is to be living in the constant feeling-prayer of beauty. Applying this prayer of beauty in our personal relationship brings extraordinary effects of love and maintaining an open heart of love. In our personal relationship Shanti and Gabriel are always celebrating our prayer of beauty with each other. When one sees the beauty in another, it becomes the mirror of the living field reflecting that beauty and love back to you. It is an extraordinarily delightful way to live and celebrate the Divine Presence in all people and situations.
