Prefect Life - part 1 religious

A perfect life

In a state of ignorance,
imperfection is natural and perfection is an effort.
In a state of wisdom or enlightenment,
imperfection is an effort;
perfection is a compulsion and is unavoidable!

Perfection is taking total responsibility,
and total responsibility means knowing
that you are the only responsible person in the whole world.
When you are in total vairagya (dispassion) ,
you can take care of even trivial and insignificant things
with such perfection.
Perfection is the very nature of the Enlightened one.

Knowledge
will be different at
different levels of consciousness.
At a particular level,
you will become
'devoid of fault-finding eyes'.
There is a certain mindset that always finds fault,
even in the best of conditions.
Even with the best possible companion,
or
the most beautiful painting,
such people will still find something wrong.
That kind of mindset cannot know the sacred knowledge.

The weaker the devotee,
the purer the Guru needs to be.

Krishna tells Arjuna
that he is giving him the Royal Secret,
because he is
'devoid of fault-finding eyes'..
Similarly,
Hanuman never saw any fault in Rama.
From a distance,
even craters cannot be seen.
Even on a smooth surface there will be holes.
If you are only interested in the holes,
you will not see the magnanimity of things.
If you are not in
'devoid of fault-finding eyes'.,
knowledge cannot blossom in you.
Then there is no point in giving knowledge.

If you look for imperfection you can see
imperfection even in
Rama and Krishna.

If Krishna
had been living today then probably there
would have been many court cases
filed against him for telling lies, stealing etc!

In Buddha's life
you don't see any imperfection.
Buddha lived a pure life not for his own sake
but for the sake of the world, for the sake of the devotees.

For an enlightened person,
if someone drinks or smokes,
nothing will happen to his consciousness.
In that state,
all that you want is good for everyone,
welfare for everyone and happiness on this planet.
