Love of divine beauty - it acts as a protection
Only the love of beauty can lead you far along the path of evolution, but this must be love for a spiritual, divine beauty, which is at once pure, harmonious and intelligent. Yes, it is important to understand that the love of beauty is a form of protection, because it will prevent you from straying into mediocrity and baseness, into anything that may soil your heart and soul. It acts like a protective garment. Think about it: if you are wearing a gorgeous new dress, are you likely to tackle the dishes or the housework? Of course not, because you know that you would get it dirty. But if you are wearing old clothes that are already grimy, you take pleasure in making them even worse! So, why not draw the obvious conclusion for your inner life? Suppose that you are wearing a magnificent inner dress, a pure and luminous aura, which is your true garment; you will not dare to soil it, and so it protects you. This is how the love of beauty can be your salvation.*
