~~<div style~~=~~"color:#000000;">~~Perfection ~~</div>~~=

Perfection is something which lacks nothing. It is about equilibrium and harmony.

<div style="color:#000000;">Perfection is not a maximum or an extreme. It is an equilibrium and a harmonisation.</div>

<div style="color:#000000;">Perfection is not a summit, it is not an extreme. There is no extreme: whatsoever you do, there is always the possibility of something better and exactly this possibility of something better is the very meaning of progress.</div>

<div style="color:#000000;">Perfection is eternal; it is only the resistance of the world that makes it progressive.</div>

<div style="color:#000000;">It may be said that perfection is attained, though it remains progressive, when the receptivity from below is equal to the force from above which wants to manifest.</div>

<div style="color:#000000;">Perfection is all that we want to become in our highest aspiration.</div>

= How =

We do not become perfect, but only shift the field of our imperfection or at most attain a limited altitude.   For this shifting of imperfection to perfection, the first step is to become conscious of yourself, of the different parts of one’s being and their respective activities. For becoming conscious of oneself, one must be quite awake, in a state of observation of one’s thoughts and actions; becoming clearly aware of these movements, noticing their reaction, impulses etc. With a constant observation and practice, one does not only become a witness of what is happening within them but will also be aware of the origin of these movements. Perseverance, endurance, patience, and sincerity with a calm determination are the tools required to progress towards perfection.

To grow towards self perfection whatever is the task at hand, one must strive for progress and perfection. It will help to move towards self-mastery. Often the surface vital nature in us distinguishes a task in hand as big or small. However, there is a scope for progress even in a task which is seen as small. It can be used for progress in self-perfection.

Transforming this imperfection towards perfection is part of our evolution.

= Perfection of Oneself, Community and Others =

One must be concerned with one’s own imperfections than with those of others. If each one of us worked seriously at one’s own self-perfection, the perfection of the whole world would follow automatically. A perfected community also can exist only by the perfection of its individuals, and perfection can come only by the discovery and affirmation in life by each of his own spiritual being and the discovery by all of their spiritual unity and a resultant life unity.

Finding absolute calm within themselves would help in bringing forth this transformation on to the world.

Our mind is partial, biased and always in search of what must be. It can turn towards the outer world and watch the world for what should be or turn inwards & concentrate on our own spiritual growth and perfection.

On the other hand, our body is a remarkable instrument - the most difficult to transform yet the most capable. Sleep, dream, exercise, illness, posture, beauty in movements are a few aspects of the physical culture through which perfection in the body can be brought.  The physical body is a basis of action, pratiṣṭhā, which cannot be despised, neglected or excluded from the evolution: a perfection of the body as the outer instrument of a complete divine living on earth will be necessarily a part of integral perfection. When the body has learned the art of constantly progressing towards an increasing perfection, we shall be well on the way to overcome the inevitability of death.

Mind, life, body, all the forms of our nature are the means for the growth of the spirit. They find their last perfection only by opening out to something beyond them. The ego generally governs the development of the individual; however, as the individuality perfects itself, the power of the ego diminishes, the true individuality emerges, the individual upons to the force descending from above and thus moves towards perfection.

= Practical Tips to Perfection =

It’s important not to worry over the mistakes. To make the effort for one's own perfection and not to be disturbed by any mistake. The right attitude is to silently will for personal perfection

If one carries true perfection in oneself, one would discover more of perfection in others..
