“The revealment of the infinite in the finite, which is the motive of all creation, is not seen in its perfection in the starry heavens, in the beauty of the flowers. It is in the soul of man.”
- Rabindranath Tagore
We look for this perfection everywhere – in our religious and political leaders, in our spouses, in our children, even in our physical appearances; and though we seldom find it, the hope refuses to die within us and the search continues unabated.
So the question then arises: Why is man searching for perfection?
The answer is because that ideal lies within us. Our desire to connect with the perfect arises from our deeper desire to know our true self – to know the perfect soul that lies hidden within each of us.
It is this soul, that is propelling us to seek for it, to realise it, and after a long search here and there, at last we come back to our own self and find that the perfection that we have been seeking in all things external, is nearest of the near, it is in our own Self, it is the reality of our own life – it is in our soul.
Om Namah Shivay
