The Mind Is Absent in the Experience of Beauty

A blind man seeks to understand the experience of beauty, having been deeply moved when, during his travels, he entered a beautiful building. He wonders what could have affected him so powerfully when sight played no role. Rupert says: ‘I would suggest the fact that you can’t see has opened a new channel in you, a sensitivity that enables you to perceive the building without seeing it. So when you went into the building, you felt immediately what it is really an expression of – which is what we’re talking about here. ‘The mind that separates experience into a subject and object dissolved. You didn’t need to see the building – just your sensitivity and being in that space was sufficient for the mind to subside. And when the object-knowing mind subsides, awareness shines. And this shining of awareness is the experience of beauty.’ *This video is from one of Rupert’s in-person retreats at Mandali, 5–12 April 2025.
