The previous article brings us to zeroing on perfection – Mother, Her aspects, Her values, Her attributes etc. which we can understand easily-and also how She acts in a given moment, what are Her requirements etc. That makes us to understand initially that “imitating Mother” in our act is perfection. That means making our spirit to act instead of us- is perfection. APPA says, “Perfection lies not in human spirit, but in the spirit of Supermind. Perfection cannot exist in the spirit that mind knows”. So acting as Mother is Supramental act which is evolution as-it brings the Infinite from finite which is Ascent.
The following are Mothers Words:
“Delight of the Infinite is to accomplish Perfection in the Finite”.
“To know is good, to live is better, To be “That” is Perfection.
Child, When, in a given circumstance, what is against the realisation, that is to say the opposition, is conquered by a conscious force, the result is the manifestation of the realisation. Yes, it is more or less like that, but I should put it otherwise. The idea of perfection is something which comes to us from the Divine, it descends from plane to plane; and we climb back from plane to plane.
Perfection is not a static state, it is equilibrium. But a progressive, dynamic equilibrium. One may go from perfection to perfection. There can come a state from which it would not be necessary to descend to a lower rung in order to go farther; at the moment the march of Nature is like that, but in this new state, instead of being obliged to go back to be able to start again, one can walk always forward, without ever stopping. As things are, one comes to a certain point and, as human beings as they are at present cannot progress indefinitely, one must pass to a higher species or leave the present species and create another. The human being as he is at the moment cannot attain perfection unless he gets out of himself—man is a transitional being. In ordinary language it may be said: “Oh, this man is perfect”, but that is a literary figure. The maximum a human being can attain just now is an equilibrium which is not progressive. He may attain perhaps a static equilibrium but all that is static can be broken for lack of progress.
Now we are going to try to find a definition which can fit all instances, that is, the individual, the collectivity, the earth and the universe. We may say that perfection will be attained in the individual, the collectivity, on the earth and in the universe, when, at every moment, the receptivity will be equal in quality and quantity to the Force which wants to manifest.
That is the supreme equilibrium. Hence, there must be a perfect equilibrium between what comes from above and what answers from below, and when the two meets, that is perfect equilibrium, which is the Realisation —an evolution in constant progress.
When you are absolutely sincere, you make a constant effort to live in harmony with the highest ideal of your being, the truth of your being. At every moment, in all that you think, all that you feel and all that you do, you try as perfectly as possible, as completely as possible, to put yourself in harmony with the highest ideal or, if you are conscious of it, with the truth of your being—then you have reached true sincerity. And if you are like that, if truly you do not act from egoistic motives or for personal reasons, if you act guided by your inner truth, that is, if you are perfectly sincere, it is absolutely the same to you whether the whole world judges you in one way or another.
