“The quality of freedom is remarkable; if freedom exists at all, nothing can limit it. The body can be shackled, but nothing can diminish consciousness except ugliness. When we touch upon the heights of freedom, we must guard against ugliness. If we wish to exalt matter, we must think wisely about beauty.”
      In Beauty will Infinity be manifested. In Beauty the teachings of the Seekers of the spirit are illumined. In Beauty we do not fear to manifest the truth of freedom. In Beauty do we kindle radiance in every drop of water. In Beauty do we transform matter into a rainbow.
      There is no ugliness which will not be engulfed in the rays of the rainbow. There are no fetters which will not disintegrate in the freedom of Beauty.
      How shall we find the words to approach the concept of the universe? How shall we tell about the evolution of forms? How to uplift the consciousness to the study of fundamentals? How to stimulate humanity to scientific cognition of the worlds?
      Each realization is born in Beauty.

by Torkom Saradarian

True culture is the worship of the highest creative fire. A most joyful and inspiring book. If you ever wished to know the real meaning of culture, beauty, love, and joy, here is the book for you.

Here is a sample:
On BEAUTY: "Man is created to manifest beauty."
On CULTURE: "Culture is the translation and interpretation of beauty."
On LOVE: "Love is not a sentiment. It is not an emotional attitude. It is the most powerful energy, the core of which is within the human being."
On JOY: "Joy is not conditioned by outer circumstances; it is like a beacon, the foundation of which rests on the ageless rocks."
