In the Yogin's vision of universal beauty all becomes beautiful, but all is not reduced to a single level. There are gradations, there is a hierarchy in this All-Beauty and we see that it depends on the ascending power (vibhuti) of consciousness and Ananda that expresses itself in the object. All is the Divine, but some things are more divine than others. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/27/art-for-arts-sake#p4</ref>
=== Perceiving Art - Painting & and Poetry ===
Art leads to the same end; the aesthetic human being intensely preoccupied with Nature through aesthetic emotion must in the end arrive at spiritual emotion and perceive not only the infinite life, but the infinite presence within her; preoccupied with beauty in the life of man he must in the end come to see the divine, the universal, the spiritual in humanity. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/23/the-higher-and-the-lower-knowledge#p4</ref>
