Self-realization is not a melancholy parade, crawling to a
pre-destined tomb, but it is a joyous ride to the Palace of Truth
A Perfect Man is one who has lifted himself from the world
of his mind—intellect and has awakened to his inner Spiritual Nature.
A Man of Perfection is one whose beloved object, the Self
can never be apart from him. And he has no sense of attachment with any other
object. Having attained the Self, the inhabitant of his heart, he has such a
complete sense of fulfillment that he has no desire for attaining anything. The
Self being the All, he has at once attained everything.
A Man of Perfection is one who does not identify himself
with his mental or emotional estimation of things. Also to one who has won over
joy and grief, and who has gained a certain amount of detachment from external
objects, desire for obtaining the pleasant or the unpleasant is no emotion at
all. Where there is no desire, hatred is an unknown, alien factor there; and
neither is there anger against any obstacle that comes between a person and the
object of his desire.
