The other day, was wondering .. what if God had programmed humans in a way, where, the physical beauty depended on their soul beauty? The thought made me giggle as I imagine, then, everyone would be working very hard to improve their soul!^^ lolz..
And finally, in that case wouldn't the Soul too get its due importance at last? ... but lo! on second thoughts, wouldn't that be ironical too!? People taking notice of the everlasting soul, because of their love for never lasting physical beauty?!! ...
Thankfully!... as this is not the programming, what could be the real programming between....."a soul and its physical beauty"? While pondering so ... a sudden realization dawned on me, and I smiled at the marvel of the Divine Intelligence, that always amazes me as any other of its creations that I understand! or do not understand that which of course are countless! in this Big Spectacular Universe! :D

It occurred to me, that for sure, the programming ought to be as great as the Divine Intelligence itself... a Divine Intelligence that is extra ordinarily intelligen t! I mean, look at Nature!... for sure, it doesn't look dumb!
Well... what I mean to say is, look at the intelligence in this creation of a worm! And similarly for human beings... look at the human body and the intelligence involved in its creation! And so it is, for EVERYTHING in Nature!
The other day, was watching on TV, a program on underground tunnels and how the initial idea arose! It seems, the copyright of this ingenious idea belonged to a humble little worm that could dig itself into the bark of trees with its head!!
Well... to me the worm's head looked exactly like the tunnel cutter machine's head! or rather the vice versa huh?... So, it seems, once the worm was inside, it secrets a liquid, that coats the tunnel around its body so as to prevent the wooden tunnel walls from swelling up in moisture, and in turn, crushing the worm inside to death!! What ingeniousness!

What ingeniousness!
So! ... coming back to our point on 'what if God had programmed humans in a way, where the physical beauty depe nded on soul beauty?'... I think even the contemplation of such a possibility would be demeaning the Divine Intelligence! For I believe! the Supreme Intelligence or the Divine Intelligence, is more intelligent than any human intelligence and in fact, far beyond even Human Intelligence's comprehen sion!
This is also the reason why i feel, sometimes when some humans ask questions like, "If God existed, why didn't he do this or that?" it simply means, not that God isn't intelligent .. but in fact, the person asking the question isn't intelligent enough to understand the intricacies of the Divine Planning...

So going by all this amazement, the answer could be a nonetheless amazing, intricate and intelligent in the planning like:
No matter what physical beauty you have! you need to work at keeping your soul a beauty!!
What an intelligent planning is that!^^ because to achieve this, people on both sides of the scale need to work! And both need to reach that mid level of balance no matter whichever side of the scales they are placed. None can rest on laurels...
In the application of the above statement, it would understandably be difficult for someone with lesser physical (beauty) attributes who has lesser chance of being noticed! of being given attention to! they could even be ignored which could inevitably affect his/her self esteem! They could even turn bitter! and of course, the Soul's (inner self's) beauty could get affected by poisonous feelings... This is the challenge these category people have to surmount!
But if the above mentioned category people would believe that everything is easy for those who have the highest physical (beauty)attributes ...then, they are sadly mistaken. The truth is, it is equally difficult for someone with a lot of physical beauty to keep his/her soul's beauty intact! And why would that be so? Because this time, it is a different set of feelings that is equally poisonous to the beauty of a soul- the feelings of pride! a subsequent looking down on others! blindness to understand the sufferings of the have nots! and so on.. would be hurdles to keep the soul beautiful!

So, now it is clear, of how much clever the programming is, to achieve one's greatness of Soul! Obviously, the absolute understanding of the fact that you need to learn to keep your inside beautiful no matter what your outside is ... NO! DUMB PROGRAMMING like having your outside beauty directly proportional to your inside beauty. Isn't divine intelligence wonderful? :-)
