What a DILEMA

The other day i was going through a book and one of it's line said,"To be perfect , no perfection required". A paradoxial statement that comes right flashing through the mind. The incidents mentioned were the one that we would understand, but yet there was a head on collosion with the thoughts penned down.

There's nothing bad in being perfect as I think of. We all strive to be one. But being perfect in attaining perfection is the matter of debate. We have our daily routines to adhere to. Like we get up and pray to god for the best day and the time to come. After all God is a perfect way to our dreams. But do we have a SOP for that or do we need to have one?

In one of the content that I was going through had a debate on how to worship the Almighty. I have seen people who define the ways to approach Him. Bow down, do not look into the eyes, stay on the knees, join your hands and ask gently. Well that might be the most common way how people relate to the prayers. And above all they do manage to prove it to be THE Perfect method.

I believe in respecting their method of interacting with HIM, Almighty for me is my friend. I love to say HI or KEM CHHO. Now that's where i slightly differ from "SOP". Now that a silly way talking with HIM or as it would seem. HE would not reply in words, but he has HIS replies , not through words but through the instances that happen around. I feel at comfort whent talking to a friend of that "STATURE" and ask for guidance while sharing my thoughts. I ask him how's he doing and ask for any updates. Any help that he'd require and so on.. The discussions are endless.

With the high regard and high respect for HIM, i still feel free to talk to him any time of the day cause friends do not bind us in time. At end of the day i feel at content having a word with HIM, and thats what even people want when they pray. Don't they? I would say "To be perfect( in approaching GOD) no perfection required"(Not necessary to follow the perfect method).

Apart from the content that was penned down in the article, there are many incidents, phenomenon, events that reach the conventional pardigm in the most unconventional ways. Many of them I can recall, many of those you can. I have incidents happening far away from me and some of them just next to me.

One more instance that I could relate to is how some people followed a Martyr with and unconventional approach of "SATYAGRAH", although revolting against the parasites with weapons was the most common attitude. Counting it from 1857 till 1945 WW-II, fighting back with guns was considered to be the perfect method of attaining freedom, for Independence is the perfect state of a country. Its just how people think out of a defined method to attain a state which is actually required and that's what Mahatma did and people followed. "To be perfect, (attaining Independence) no perfection required (mode of using guns to attain it)"

The instances that I see or relate are my own views. After all " To be perfect( in describing views) no perfection is required (how the view's are described).
