BEAUTIFUL
‘ Roop yauvan
sampannaa, vishaal kul sambhavaah; Vidyaa
heenaa na sobhante,nirgandhaa iv kinsukaah.’
A youth is very handsome, his family is also famous but he
has not got education. He is similar to the flower of 'flame of the forest tree' (kinsuk=
palaash) which has no scent. Similar is the case with a beautiful girl. Suppose
she is very beautiful but quarrelling nature. She does not love her in-laws.
Her character is not descent. Her physical beauty is in vain. She is also like
the same flower. The shlok (Sanskrit poem) is old so I have not mentioned
education in the case of a girl. Similarly the behavior & character have not been
mentioned in the case of a boy. At present these words should be added.
I saw an old man. He
was very handsome but his wife was ugly. He became close to me. Once I enquired
about his marriage. He understood the matter and smiled. Laughingly he said
that he had done love marriage. I was surprised but he stressed to believe me.
The man was living as paying guest at Kolkata during his P.G
classes. His land lady was a widow having four marriageable daughters. He
became very close to the family. The eldest was ugly by face and the rest three
were beautiful. The eldest was doing all works of the family. The younger three were doing nothing and
were totally dependent on the eldest. The man became impressed with the eldest and gave
proposal before the widow. She was surprised to hear the proposal. Earlier,
proposals were received for youngers because they were beautiful. The widow found
the proposal as impossible blessings from The God. She agreed and married her daughter to the person. I was surprised and very
much impressed hearing the story and his sacrifice.
Now, it is clear regarding
the beauty. It is not the physical appearance. The internal qualities are main
beauty. If physical beauty is also there, it is like scent in the gold. But,
physical beauty is not of much importance.
