Best Quote by Adyashanti

“Enlightenment is a destructive process. It has nothing to do with becoming better or being happier. Enlightenment is the crumbling away of untruth. It’s seeing through the facade of pretence. It’s the complete eradication of everything we imagined to be true.”

“Why was a beautiful young woman such a big deal?

Beauty was a sign of health and reproductive capability; thus, a beautiful woman historically had wide hips (for childbearing), body symmetry (indicating no deformities), hair and teeth that weren’t falling out (indicating health) and she was young — at the beginning of her fertile years.

Society needed to reinforce men’s biological dependency on female beauty for the same reasons it needed to make women dependent on male income: dependency created an incentive to marry.

A man who was addicted to a woman’s beauty, youth, and sex would temporarily 'lose his mind' – he would make the irrational decision to support her for the rest of his life.

Female beauty, then, can be thought of as nature’s marketing tool: the way of marketing a woman for the survival of her genes. Which is why female beauty is the world’s most potent drug.”
