Poetry about Perfection

PERFECTION- MOON, PERFECTION-SUN 

Insincerity is the disease  
Of your thought-life.  
Sincerity is the cure  
Of your will-life.  
Humility's beauty and surrender's duty
Are the perfection-moon and perfection-sun  
Of your soul-life.

~

Wisdom-heart 
A calm heart leaves.

Sacrifice-heart  
A loving heart leaves.  

Perfection-heart  
A surrendered heart leaves

~

Divine Compassion: what is it? 
The sanctuary of human incapacity.

Divine Perfection: what is it?  
The dream-reality of God-Capacity.

Talk on World Perfection

by Sri Chinmoy

World-perfection is something very complicated. What you call perfection, according to your religion or wisdom, I may not call perfection. Again, what I call perfection, you may not call perfection. Perfection has different degrees, different shades and different levels of consciousness.  

Perfection means satisfaction. A child finds the ultimate satisfaction in fooling around with his friends. He strikes someone; that is his satisfaction, that is his perfection. Restlessness is what a child calls perfection. Again, for an animal, perfection is to devour other animals or human beings. That is the perfection of the animal, but we call it destruction. According to a child, satisfaction lies in restlessness. According to an animal, satisfaction lies in destruction.  

For a seeker, satisfaction depends entirely on his own inner progress. His inner progress depends on how much peace he has received and how many undivine things he has been able to discard from his outer life. Let him see how few things he can live with on earth. If he is a sincere, devoted and dedicated seeker, then his list will have only one item: God-Satisfaction.
