Sri Aurobindo says, says perfection is ascension. There are four main standards of human conduct where we can bring perfection as much as possible that make an ascending scale. The first is personal need, preference and desire; the second is the law and good of the collectivity; the third is an ideal ethic; the last is the highest divine law of the nature. Ascent is our ordinary life. Decent is the perfect civilizing effort of the Society. It is open to the Individual to be in both systems by not limiting himself to either. Those way miraculous results instantaneously accrue.

In one of his article Sri Karmayogi has given the following procedure to start with:
1. Understand and appreciate the importance and power of perfection for higher accomplishment.
2. Objectively examine the lives of people around you to observe the enormous scope for perfection.
3. Examine your own life with equal objectivity to observe the scope for improving the quality of your acts
– no explanations or rationalizations!
4. Start with a few criteria for perfection such as cleanliness, orderliness, punctuality, accuracy, absence of errors.
5. Compile a list of common types of errors or omissions that you will strive to completely eliminate, such as writing letters and messages without a single spelling error or grammatically imperfect, remembering to turn off lights when you leave each room, returning every object to the place it belongs, completing each task at the appointed time, etc.
6. Decide to elevate your actions to be perfect in these areas.
7. Observe yourself impartially and evaluate your performance objectively.
8. Try to observe the correspondence or relationship between the quality of your actions and the results you achieve.
