The achievement of perfection
Perfection has already been achieved in the realm of the soul, but in the outer world it is still a far cry. If we want to achieve perfection in the outer world without being inspired and energised by the inner world, we are merely wasting our time. Perfection can be achieved only when one has entered into the inner life, the spiritual life, and brings to the fore the Wealth of the inner life — Peace, Light and Bliss in infinite measure.
