A pure hearted person radiates luster, which is perceivable to all. His/her skin shines with a rare luminescence and there is a smile on his/her face. When you come into contact with such a person, you automatically brighten up because the aura of the person energises you. A beautiful scene in the film Siddharth made by Conrad Rooks – starring Shashi Kapoor and Simi Garewal – describes how you can achieve purity of heart. In this film, the Buddhist monk, who has earlier been in love with the beautiful courtesan, visits her on here deathbed. When she sees his shining face, she asks him how he could accept the pain of life and still remain pure and unsullied. His reply is: “When you work hard on your own character, you develop a beautiful sanctuary within the core of your heart. Whenever the affairs of the world becomes too much for you, you retire for a while to your wondrous sanctuary of illumination to refresh yourself and come back to face thw world and its myriad, wayward ways, some of which you do not even understand fully.”
This dialogue states an eternal truth. The pure of heart create a sanctuary of beauty in the core of their beings and it becomes their secret, magical world, where they can recreate their energies and reinvent themselves. They remain pure in the face of all exigencies of life.
