Simplicity is Austerity

There is beauty and elegance in simplicity. Stripped of all its excesses to the bare bone, the essence of its being reveals completely. It shines like full moon on a clear autumn night on highest mountain top.

Without  any detractions the simplicity displays its extraordinary balance and movement. There is peace or rather arrest to eternal time. Nothing is out of its place for everything seems in their natural place in space.

This is the absolute beauty when the movement of the mind, the thought is arrested to the present timeless moment. Eternity, which like great music and art endeavor to arrest to this timeless moment.

To be simple, there must be austerity. One must see and observe arduously of all its excesses, desires, wants and noises of the past. It must be total austerity.

There it shines brightly undeniably the beauty of the truth.
