It would be no exaggeration to say that all these disagreeable things which go on in this world -- wars, diseases and the like -- all come from the lack of artistic attitude in life the lack of a sense of beauty, and the lack of that vision which unites the whole humanity in one center; and this center is God. When man closes his eyes to beauty, he will never think of looking for the beautiful, although beauty is constantly beside him. Behind the beauty, as Qur'an says, God is.
