Gracefulness

From Bahai9
Jump to:navigation, search

A graceful motion or anything with grace or beauty are pleasing to the heart and spirit[edit]

"It is natural for the heart and spirit to take pleasure and enjoyment in all things that show forth symmetry, harmony, and perfection. For instance: a beautiful house, a well designed garden, a symmetrical line, a graceful motion, a well written book, pleasing garments--in fact, all things that have in themselves grace or beauty are pleasing to the heart and spirit..."

('Abdu'l-Bahá's words to Mrs. Mary L. Lucas, as quoted in "A Brief Account of My Visit to Acca" (Chicago: Bahá'í Publishing Society, 1905), pp. 11-14; in Music (compilation), no. 1422 and Importance of Arts in Promoting the Faith, no. 24)
