Question: “Why are we imperfect?”
“So that we can grow to perfection. Life is a movement from imperfection to perfection. A seed contains the tree but to become a tree it must cease being a seed. The seed is not a tree. A sapling is not a tree. So in life you can either see imperfection at every step, or you can see movement from one perfection to another.
“Wherever you put your attention, that will grow. If you put your attention on the lack of something, the lack will increase.”
~ Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, Celebrating Silence
Oh, the challenge of defining perfect…
Well, my friend, it’s up to you to choose whether you see perfection or imperfection, but I like the notion that everything is always perfect. It reminds me that there’s always a higher perspective.
