1. Many times Swami in His discourses speaks about Socrates, Plato and Aristotle. The first disciple of Socrates was Plato. Plato was a very mighty person. Plato tried to spread the teachings of Socrates all over the world. He preached that for this world three things are important and necessary: Truth, Goodness and Beauty. What is Beauty? Beauty is not related to the body. Selflessness is beauty. A person who works selflessly is the most beautiful one. These three are also called Nischala (steadiness), Nirmala (purity) Nisvartha (selflessness).
