Answer 1

The surface of a calm and pristine lake hides the immense depths but at the same moment reflects the glorious heavens above - the fleece like clouds, the azure blue skies, the birds circling, the gentle ripples, and the subtle breezes are all are present in a unison as oneness in existence for us to behold. The nature is spellbinding. She is all there for us to witness and admire because we recognise all this. We have seen all this somewhere, someplace in time or space but we cannot exactly remember where. We feel attraction to the familiar, familiarities are binding they are subtle and deep.

You have a natural ability to feel Beauty and mind to recognise it. You can learn to share your sense and admiration of beautiful things with others for this would be the best use of your gift. An object of beauty when contemplated for too long can take us in its grasp. We need to see not only beauty but also the absence of beauty to understand the full human condition. There is not doubt that we have something very important to do with Beauty. May it is of a natural or an artistic one, we always have a feel and sense for it. We like to be appeased and pleased aesthetically. In this we seek assurance and enhancement for our life.

Beauty is an abstract quality that makes its presence known only thorough objects and ideas of the world we know. There is nothing in the world that can be perfect in comparison with other things. But all things beautiful do remind us of something that is perfect and absolute in Beauty – the perfection. We must therefore not lose our objective and rational sense of observation and see beauty as we as human beings should see, not as something that is out there. If so then we would know that we are mainly devoid of it. We are not the originals in considering things of such value as Beauty. This does make us think at all levels. It is not only the beauty that keeps us engaged but also our thoughts do so too. Would you find things of immense beauty in mountains, or in the skies and leave it there? What would you think about it?

The point is that it is we who see Beauty in things, and things themselves are not beautiful or ugly, they are just what they are. Beauty is our standard for admiration - for us Beauty belongs to us. We need to come out of the spell of things though right contemplation - what we are? We cannot stand still in life for long; eventually we have to move to search for things that are better than everything we ever observed so far. When you will come back. You will realise that you have brought home with you a magical feel of the spectacle of nature you witnessed for the top of a mountain. You also need to realise that you have brought with you a new realisation of your innate self, its ability to see and admire beauty. This is for more valuable and beautiful in place and content than anything else you can see.
Know yourself is the message of Beauty, or so it should be!

If you were hungry and you sat down to a meal, you would not take one bite of something then walk away.
Seeing an amazing view is a feast for your eyes, your mind, your spirit. If it's the kind of thing you don't see every day it's no wonder you can't drag yourself away

Answer 3

When you see and live at that moment and become part of what is being viewed, you forget yourself and the fragmented living and thoughts. That very feeling cotinues and seperates you when you are in a hospital and that very view become a suffering and not being able to be part of what you are doing now. We have programmed to become quite and serene at certain views and feelings and worried at some other views and feelings. In my opinion, you can have the same serene feeling even when you see a rotten deadbody and become part of it.....not joking. When the thought inturrupts, you loose that connectivity to the oneness and you become fragmented and great pain occurs.

Answer 4

Did you type this from the top of a mountain? If not, then it seems you have managed to drag yourself away.

Answer 5

It is because, as human beings, we become aware of the nature of reality when faced with such an incomprehensible landscape.
Our imagination could never have conjured up such infinite majesty and so we choose to look within and find beauty there too.
I guess the first humans who came up with the concept of a creator God did so in the face of such a sight. To try to make sense of it all.

I find it makes sense to realize that we are all interconnected with such beauty, and with each other. To be inspired by it but not to diminish it's complexity by attributing it's creation to anything but the nature of reality....

Answer 6

stay there and enjoy the moment. You are in a place where you can marvel at creation.

You are connecting with nature/creation/the universe and you feel inspired. Some people never get to experience things like that and do not understand how it feels, which is a total shame really.

Answer 7

Well for me its the subtle realisation of insignificance...Like your a tiny dot on the history of the nature surrounding you...I find if im surrounded by gorgeous views or amazing sights, i tend to feel very small and insignificant in comparison, which makes all my trivial lil problems float away for an instant....

Answer 8

You are able to really appreciate the beauty and the majesty that this great gift, the earth, is. It gives one a feeling of smallness, a part of that bigger whole, and the perspective to know that it is a great whole you are a part of. You feel a sense of your place in the world, and are grateful to be a part of that which inspires such awe.

Answer 9

You need to get off that mountain before the old man of the mountain returns and kicks you off it!!

Answer 10

You really need to come down off that mountain
