The Man who was Siddharth Gautama☸💙🧘♀️📿
Part I—His Personality.☸💙🧘♀️📿
1. His Personal Appearance☸💙🧘♀️📿
From all accounts the Blessed Lord☸ was a handsome person.
1/11
His☸ form was like the peak of a golden mountain.
He☸ was tall and well built; with a pleasing appearance.
His☸ long arms and lion gait, his☸ bull-like eyes, and his☸ beauty, bright like gold, his☸ broad chest, attracted everyone to him☸.
2/11
His☸ brows, his☸ forehead, his☸ mouth or his☸ eyes, his☸ body, his☸ hands, his☸ feet or his☸ gait— whatever part of him☸ anyone beheld that at once riveted his☸ eyes.
3/11
Whoever saw him☸ could not help being struck with his☸ majesty and his☸ strength, his☸ splendid beauty, surpassing all other men.
4/11
On seeing him☸, he☸ who was going elsewhere stood still and whoever was standing followed him☸: he who was walking gently and gravely, ran quickly, and he who was sitting at once sprang up.
5/11
Of those who met him☸ some reverenced him☸ with their hands, others in worship saluted him☸ with their heads, some addressed him with affectionate words, not one went on without paying him☸ homage.
He☸ was loved and respected by all.
6/11
Men as well as women were ever ready to hear him☸.
His☸ voice was singularly sweet and deep as a drum, lovely, vibrant and eloquent. It made his☸ speech as though it was heavenly music.
His☸ very tones convinced the hearer, and his☸ looks inspired awe.
7/11
His☸ personality alone sufficed to make him☸ not only a leader but a god to the hearts of his fellows.
When he☸ spoke he obtained hearers.
It mattered little what he☸ said. He☸ influenced the emotions and bent whoever listened to his☸ will.
8/11
He☸ could create in the minds of his☸ hearers that what he☸ taught was not only a verity, but the very hope of their salvation.
His☸ hearers could recognize in his words the truth that makes of slaves free men.
9/11
When he☸ talked with men and women his☸ serene look inspired them with awe and reverence and his☸ lovely voice struck them with rapture and amazement.
10/11
Who could have converted the robber Augulimala or the Cannibal of Atavi?
Who could have reconciled King Pasenjit to his queen Mallika by a single word.
To have come under his☸ spell is to be his for ever. So charming was his☸ personality.
