Question: If we don't strive for perfection in our outer life, will that hinder our inner perfection?

Sri Chinmoy: Absolutely. The outer perfection and the inner perfection are like two wings of a bird; we need both wings to fly. If one wing is broken, the bird will not be able to fly well. So the outer perfection and the inner perfection must go together.
