A beautiful mind?

Perhaps it is good to have a beautiful mind, but an even greater gift is to discover a beautiful heart.

        No , i am not talking about the famous movie by Russel Crowe(It was an amazing movie).I am just talking about what constitutes a beautiful mind? No , being a saint doesn't mean a beautiful mind.Sometimes we come across people with such beautiful mind that you just never forget them!That small action taken by somebody years ago still brings a tiny smile and makes you feel glad that world has such people.Am i being serious ?Can mind be truly beautiful ? Can Gandhi, Mandela be called to have had beautiful minds?Not really, doing something selflessly is what makes a beautiful maybe? Not really , its knowing that you won't get anything out of it what constitutes beauty of mind.
       I recently went to a children's home on 15th August, after spending sometime with children we went to a women's home for mentally handicapped. People running these institutions selflessly make you feel that you are a small particle in the universe.Then there comes in a troop who were volunteering to entertain them.They performed salsa and did some fun exercises.But, their enthusiasm for photo opportunity is what made me feel bad, is the world about just showcasing your photos on facebook? Do we really need to show off the so called goodness? I am not telling that taking photos is bad, but that of a few helpless women for the sake of showcasing your "goodness"  leaves a lot to be desired.
     Maybe its a naive and idealistic way of thinking, but true beauty is when i saw a can driver just leaving his cab and running to help an accident victim, and infact taking him to the hospital. A poor man sharing his meager food.Selflessness is a tough trait to cultivate in the world of selfies.(OMG, a truly original quote by me!) .I am still wondering what made me write this.,

A beautiful mind is idealistic world's need,
Can be grown by few selfless deeds,
Let's bury the seed's of hatred,
Let's keep everything we do sacred..
