Perfection
When we are joyful, we do not look for perfection. If you are looking
for perfection then you are not at the source of joy. Joy is the
realization that there is no vacation from wisdom. The world appears
imperfect on the surface but underneath, all is perfect. Perfection
hides, imperfection shows off. The wise will not dwell on the surface
but will probe into the depths. The things you see are not blurred, it is
your vision that is blurred. Infinite actions exist in the wholeness of
consciousness, and yet consciousness remains perfect, untouched.
Realize this now and be at home.
Legendary is the love that withstands rejection. It will be free of anger
and ego. Legendary is the commitment that withstands humiliation. It
will be one-pointed and will reach the goal. Legendary is the wisdom
that withstands turbulence. It will be integrated into life. Legendary is
the faith that withstands a million chances of doubt. It will bring
perfection - siddhis. Legendary are the events that withstand time.
They will become morals for millions.
