Lotus

PII p8		   
On 16.10.1972 the Mother gave the following message to the Japan Center:

"Japan was, in the physical world, the teacher of beauty. She must not renounce her privilege."
  
  

The Mother lived in Japan for four full years until Her return to Sri Aurobindo in Pondicherry on 24.4.1920.
While in Japan She wrote in Her diary the following:

"January 29, 1917 In the world of forms a violation of Beauty is as great a fault as a violation of Truth in the world of ideas. For Beauty is the worship Nature offers to the supreme Master of the universe; Beauty is the Divine language in forms. And a consciousness of the Divine which is not translated externally by an understanding and expression of Beauty would be an incomplete consciousness.
But true Beauty is as difficult to discover, to understand and above all to live as any other expression of the Divine; this discovery and expression exacts as much impersonality and renunciation of egoism as that of Truth or Bliss.
