Women want to be beautiful and some moralists have criticized them for it. But there is no crime in wanting to be beautiful. On the contrary, if women did not seek beauty they would have brought generations of incredibly ugly children into this world. It is the mother who passes on beauty to her children. It is the mother who forms them, creates them, and this is why during her pregnancy she must wish beauty for them. All these moralists who have been condemning women's desire to be beautiful have not understood that it is the woman's task, the mother's task, to bring beauty to earth. Men do not think a great deal about cultivating beauty, they are busy with other things. So, imagine what would happen if women did not concern themselves with it. Women are therefore right in wanting to be beautiful, in order to be able to pass this beauty on to their children. They do, however, need to understand where and how they should look for true beauty, spiritual beauty, so that one day through their children they make heaven come to earth.
