The Rope: The first memory of rope in my hand brought me this immense feeling of connection.
For us:
As the threads of the rope keep getting woven and the rope keeps getting stronger and more thicker such is the symbolism of a rope in life. As we get connected with someone in our life its like every interaction that we have with the person in our life just like the layers of the rope our connection keeps getting more and more refined and a deeper bond begins to form. It seems as if we are tied at the two ends with this knot. We all know that the ropes weakest point is the place were the knot is tied. If we maintain the connection the knot is strengthened. If not then the rope and symbolically the connection snaps. The way we can handle this is either we should sever the connection ir another way could be that you open the knot and tie it again.
It may start in life with a connection with one person and once this connection is woven in then it keeps strengthening and more and more people keep getting added and the rope grows and so does our connections in life.
What is connection between inner and outer beauty?
The outer beauty comes from a different source than the inner. The outer beauty comes from your father and mother: their bodies create your body. But the inner beauty comes from your own growth of consciousness that you are carrying from many lives.
In your individuality both are joined, the physical heritage from your father and mother and the spiritual heritage of your own past lives, it’s consciousness, its bliss, its joy.
So it is not absolutely necessary that the outer will be a reflection of the inner, nor will vice versa be true, that the inner will correspond with the outer.
If the inner becomes beautiful — which is in your hands — the outer will have to mold itself according to the inner. The outer is not essential, it will have to reflect the inner in some way.
Only one thing is not man-manufactured and that is your innermost dignity, your innermost grace. That grace starts flooding your outer being too. And that grace transforms not only the inner, but gives a new look to your outer being: an innocence, a serenity, a depth, a peace, a love, and these are all flowers blossoming around you. Then even your periphery becomes so beautiful, so musical, such a dance of rejoicing. But you should start from the inner.
