Highest Ideal of Perfection

[Guest guest]

Namaste: During class, Swami discussed the meanings of Dharma. One

meaning is the Highest Ideal of Perfection. Each being, from a blade

of grass to a human has a highest ideal of perfection.

 

The grass wants to be the best grass, while the human may be a thief,

and they want to be the best thief they can be. That is their highest

ideal of perfection. I may want to be the perfect reflection of Maa.

That is my unique highest ideal.

Swami taught that each person has THEIR OWN HIGHEST IDEAL, based on

their samskaras and each of us has to live according to our own vision.

Bottomline: we cannot judge each other or try to change another.

Accept each person as the way they are.

As a parent of an 18 year old young man, this lesson was perfect at

this time. Swami reminded me that my son has his own path, and all I

can do is show him how I live, and offer to help him understand the

options for action, and the results of each option, and then it is up

to him. His choice. And, he will reap what he will sow.

I have to trust in Maa, and remember that everything is perfect and

just as it should be, and accept whatever unfolds.

 

What a lesson. After all, whose son is he really?

 

Jai Ma Jai Swami

Greetings, Namaste, Today, i had the opportunity to speak with a

business owner who has an ideal of perfection for his business that is

not synergistic with the ideal of perfection with the company that i am

employed with now (luckily, the name of the company for which i work,

when translated means 'light of the Gods'). The discussion on the

highest ideal of perfection and that this businessman/gentleman is

striving for his ideal of perfection really helped me today. i felt

love in this businessman, unlike before, in that he believes that he is

acting in high honesty and integrity within the realms of his ideas of

perfection. Let us look to Maa as our Polestar of Perfection.
