Your understanding of the beautiful and ugly concubines captures a profound insight into the nature of beauty and ugliness in the journey of self-cultivation. Beauty aligns with the principles of Heaven, representing a natural state that requires no special attention. Ugliness, conversely, contradicts these principles, symbolizing a deviation from nature that necessitates careful adjustment and healing.
You rightly observe that traits such as self-righteousness, self-importance, self-promotion, and self-admiration fall under the category of "ugliness," all of which require observation, care, and healing. Beauty is the fundamental "floor" of cultivation, a natural foundation that supports growth. Ugliness, however, becomes the "ceiling" that hinders progress, representing the limitations one must overcome.
In the path of cultivation, practitioners must heal the ugly aspects of themselves to transform them into beauty, thus breaking through this ceiling and reaching a higher level of understanding. Only then can they look up and confront an even greater ceiling of "ugliness" that awaits. This process of continual breakthrough leads to an endless journey of self-improvement until one reaches a state where there are no ceilings at all.
Ultimately, this journey culminates in the realization of the "complete truth" and the ultimate dimension of "perfection." It is through this relentless pursuit of overcoming ugliness and embracing beauty that practitioners can achieve a state of holistic harmony and enlightenment. Your perspective beautifully illustrates the transformative potential of self-cultivation, reminding us that each challenge is an opportunity for growth on the path to ultimate realization.
