Miss Universe is an annual international beauty pageant that is run by the Miss Universe Organization.Along with its rival contests, Miss World and Miss Earth, this pageant is one of the most important and publicized beauty pageants in the world. It is held in more than 190 countries worldwide and seen by more than half a billion people annually. It's started in 1952, so many awards have been given to so many beauty queens of the world. But have you ever thought where are the beauty queens of early 60s, 70s and 80s?
Once Buddha was travelling from village to village for preaching. He came to one village and started preaching about his philosophy. A girl would stay in that village, she was really very beautiful, many kings had asked her hand in marriage but she had rejected all of them. She had little prideful heart of being very beautiful and charismatic. She came to Buddha with intention to allure him and break his vows of renunciation. Buddha asked he to get mirror, she thought,'why do I need to get mirror I am beautiful and everyone including me knows it, there isn't any need to confirm it'. Still she got mirror, Buddha asked her to see in mirror, she started laughing but she followed him, she was seeing her own image which was beautifully decorated. After few moments reflection changed, now there was middle aged lady, after few moments there was little old lady with wrinkles on the face and toothless mouth, after few moments she saw herself as very old lady lying on bed, then she saw how that old lady died and how people are burning her body in crematorium. She realised that body is just temporary and one day it will have end, she surrendered her life to Buddha.
So one has to understand that bodily beauty is just temporary, but the soul has the permanent beauty. Many marriages breaks down because they can't digest the fact that how my beautiful spouse is getting older over the years. Material body is perishable by nature, it may perish immediately or after some years, it's just a question of time. There is no chance of maintaining it indefinitely although one may apply so many body lotions and anti ageing soaps, destruction is nature of this body. So there shouldn't be any proud for being smart or charismatic or handsome, time will show us the reality of body.
The only beautiful person in the world is God himself. He is eternally beautiful with so many attractive qualities. In fact when he took the form of 'Mohini' to distract the demons, not only she distracted demons but some of the powerful demigods like lord shiva and others also started running after her in want of her, he forgot himself and didn't bothered about anything...shiva who once had burned the Cupid, now he was crazily following her, then lord showed His original form of Vishnu and shiva was cooled down. The conclusion is that material beauty is insignificant in front of Lord's. So my appeal to you is that don't just run after the fading beauty of this world but try to achieve Lord's grace which is trillion times more beautiful than any of this world, so when we do that we can go to spiritual world where we also will be awarded with our real beauty to serve the Lord as an eternal companion of Him.
