Universal Beauty and Ananda [1]

There is a certain consciousness in which all things become full of beauty and Ananda – what is painful or ugly becomes an outward play, and becomes suffused with the beauty and Ananda behind. It is specially the Overmind consciousness of things – although it can be felt from time to time on the other planes also. A great equality and the view of the Divine everywhere is necessary for this to come fully.
