=Whatis Perfection?=
Perfection is something all that we want to become in our highest aspiration <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/15/perfection#p10</ref> ...man as a being is capable of self-development and of some approach at least to an ideal standard of perfection which lacks nothinghis mind is able to conceive… <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/24/the-integral-perfection#p1</ref>The characteristic law of Spirit is self-existent perfection and immutable infinity. It possesses always and in its own right the immortality which is the aim of Life and the perfection which is the goal of Mind.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/23/the-threefold-life#p7</ref> As you pursue this labour of purification and unification, you must at the same time take great care to perfect the external and instrumental part of your being. When the higher truth manifests, it must find in you a mind that is supple and rich enough to be able to give the idea that seeks to express itself a form of thought which preserves its force and clarity. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/12/the-science-of-living#p6</ref> One can attain perfection in the different parts of the being - in the mind, the vital and the physical. Perfection of the Mind - Our mind, in its search for what must be, turns towards a concentration on our own inner spiritual growth and perfection, on our own individual being and inner living; or it turns towards a concentration on an individual development of our surface nature, on the perfection of our thought and outer dynamic or practical action on the world, on some idealism of our personal relation with the world around us; or it turns rather towards a concentration on the outer world itself, on making it better, more suited to our ideas and temperament or to our conception of what should be. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/22/the-divine-life#p7</ref> Perfection of the Vital - Many of the things we need for our perfection, courage, will-power effective in life, all the elements of what we now call force of character and force of personality, depend very largely for their completest strength and spring of energetic action on the fullness of the psychic prana. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/24/the-power-of-the-instruments</ref>Perfection in the Physical - Perfection in the physical means that the body becomes conscious, is about equilibrium filled with consciousness and harmonythat as this is the Truth consciousness all its actions, functionings etc.become by the power of the consciousness within it harmonious, luminous, right and true—without ignorance or disorder. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/28/transformation-and-the-body#p3</ref>
