Is Beauty Important?

Walk out to a fruit store, [your] eyes feast on the produce of Hashem. Many hundreds of different products, all produced without the aid of a man. It’s marvelous! Your soul thirsts for this glory. What you’re seeing is "kvod Hashem—the glory of the Creator". That’s the purpose of it. Therefore when we wish to utilize our lives in this world, let’s keep in mind one of the details that are of very great benefit in utilizing the beauty of the fruits. — The Wine of Prayer (#555)
