~ Complete ~

-
Even though, most often complete and perfect are used as one and the same, a closer look clearly brings out the subtle difference. A complete personality need not be a perfect one. But a perfect one is indeed a part of the complete personality.

Complete consists of both the perfect and the imperfect, both the good and the bad, up and down. The journey to have a darshan of the God, up on a hill consists of both the climbing up and the climbing down phase too. only then it becomes complete. Of course, the most memorable moment at the time of darshan is indeed valuable. But, before and after also play and contribute a vital role in that completeness.

Life, indeed is also complete. Some known and unknown, some pleasant and unpleasant, some to understand and rest to accept -- all become a part of this complete journey. When any one part of this is ignored, then it becomes depleted. Depletion can only have depleted results.

Probably, i may wish to address creation as complete than perfect. Nature is an everlasting example to portray the beauty of this perfect and imperfect combination resulting in completeness. Human body, yet another live example. The hands are the classic example of this combination resulting in complete functioning.

Whenever, some one says, its perfect, it goes without saying that there is an element of unknown imperfect hidden too and that's what has contributed to what probably can be told as "complete". This reminds me of the combination of the form and the formlessness that reveal the complete "oneness'. Complete, probably can be understood as something that has the both as a part and yet remains in the realm of "beyond". Both and beyond, complete!

Let us connect to the completeness and accept both perfect and imperfect as a vital part of this completeness.

Every human being is complete. The thing is, many of these energy beings are experiencing profound and diverse levels of selective amnesia...

I agree with your thoughts that completeness is the combination of perfection and imperfection. We are imperfect and it is our imperfection which makes us complete.

Mark, if i may say, we also have imperfect and that completes the circle.

merging point, some individuals move from amnesia to some levels of awareness and back to selective amnesia by choice. Every choice is grounded in free will. People will only ever act based on what they are mentally ready to accept. Fear sometimes motivates backward steps.The spirit grows in manifold directions.

Very true, Liara! fear indeed is a devastating block, not just for the individual but also for the rest.

~ "Adapt Tune" ~

An insight into a dance competition show. Unlike the regular performance where a participant proves his dancing skills to a song selected and well trained for it, here he is expected to dance to the unexpected tunes. The DJ on the set is the creator of the tunes for that moment. The participant on the floor is evaluated as to how well his performance is tuned in to the unexpected rhythms. "Expect the unexpected" and tune in to be your own self. Thats when the best of performance is unfolded. You dont perform but you just tune in to the rhythms. There is a subtle and yet a vital difference that distinguishes you from the rest. The sense organ, ear, lets the listening happen. The mind accepts the tune and the body adapts to the tune and thats what is called the dance. Firstly, one needs to be well equipped with the skills and thats what is called confidence. Without a proper knowledge and practice of the skill, one would only turn out to be a laughing stock on the floor. Once t...

~ Intellect~

Let us a take a look at the transformation of a simple metal plate into a knife. The metal plate when processed through various stages gets shaped into a sharp instrument used primarily for cutting etc. Have you noticed, the process doesn't get completed in just sharpening the blade. It takes a complete shape only when a wooden handle is provided on one end. The one edge of the sharpened blade gets fixed into the wooden case, thereby, providing strong and comfortable access to the usage of the instrument. Left without a wooden case to hold, the blade still remains a sharpened tool but dangerous even to the user. Try holding a sharpened blade and make use of it. May be, your hands would bleed first even before making use of it. When looking at the mind, intellect and its connectivity to the Self, i felt it is easier to understand and relate it with the example of the knife. Intellect, as a sharpened blade is essential to discriminate, execute. It becomes a dangerous tool only when i...

~ Levels of Awareness ~

Beware of Ignorance Be Aware of Self! That which begins as a practice Becomes a part of the whole Nothing new that never existed is going to be introduced for practicing. Yet, there comes a moment when each of us are introduced to discover our own self through various means. Body exists from the time of birth, yet the real feel of that first moment is experiential. Same with breath too. Breathing has been happening but when we enter into its realm with that touch of awareness then on the Real living begins. Ignorance in a way acts as the backdrop for awareness. In life, when we begin to learn some art or anything, we tend to have a total focus on the job. Like when we first begin to cut vegetables, the eyes, the hands and the mind are in total focus. Its the practice which eventually leads to evolution. Perfection sounds more like a finite one. But with subtleness, it just expands to nowhere. The taste of the self which begins as a practice eventually grows to expand in awareness. Focu...
