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>

''Are there people who have not been affected by this vital impurity and who appreciate beauty in a subtle aesthetic way only?''Yes, certainly. Artists who have trained their mind to a purely aesthetic look at beauty and beautiful things—for one instance. There are many others also, who have a sufficiently developed refinement of the aesthetic sense not to associate it with the crude vital wish for possession, enjoyment or sensual contact. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/27/physical-beauty-and-sex-sensation#p4</ref>

The aesthetic and impersonal vision of things can develop into the sight of the Divine Beauty everywhere which is in its nature entirely pure. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/27/physical-beauty-and-sex-sensation#p6</ref>
