Perfection & Imperfection

In the words of Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, In a state of ignorance, imperfection is natural and perfection is an effort!! ion.
In a state of wisdom or enlightenment, imperfection is an effort, while perfection is a compulsion and unavoidable!!
There is a certain mindset that always finds fault, even in the best of condition.Such a mindset cannot know the sacred knowledge.If you are only intrested in the holes, you will not see the magnanimity of things.
The recognition of imperfections leads you to more perfection.Perfection can be of three types:
1. Perfection in action or work.
2. Perfection in speech
3. Perfection in feelings or intent

Sri Sri says, suppose someone makes a mistake and you get angry looking at that mistake ,then you are no better than the person because , there the action was imperfect, but here your feelings have become imperfect.Any action will have flaw, but when feelings become imperfect, they stay for a longer period...The innermost perfection is lost.

There are six imperfections - Lust, anger, greed, entanglement, arrogance & jealousy. You think one is better then the other but they are not.

Lust is considered a sin because in lust, you treat the other person like an object. In love, you see the person as someone higher. Anger is a sin because when you are angry, you lose your centre; you lose sight of the Self. In guilt, you limit the small mind to an action that has alreagy happened.

Sin is not your nature, and you are not born out of sin. Sin is just the wrinkle on a cloth. It needs proper ironing!!
