Importance of subtle beauty (sattvikta)
over mere gross beauty (aesthetics)
Question: Sometimes while
doing satseva that involves working with documents, I feel a
document could be formatted to look much more aesthetic, but I am
often told by my spiritual guide that the existing style is more
sattvik. Can you explain the difference between sattvik and
aesthetic; why is sattvikta given so much importance, even at the
cost of aesthetics?
