Perfection: already in humans?

Dear Br otherwise Allen,Hope this letter finds you in good stead and full of happiness. Here Im excessively sense happy, as today I have the scope to write to you. Everything is going fine here at our Institute, which is in fact going from military unit to strength with the steady enrolment of new volunteers.News apart, Im feeling excited to share certain reflections of my present day thought which you wanted to know. Presently Im preparing a deal aimed to bolster the spirit of the modern youth and I would like to share some excerpts from it.The recent train of thought in me has provided a new climb down on the topic of perfection. It has been for quite some time, I was receiving various hints from the nature and the living beings about the genesis of perfection. Later, champion day when I was trying to core those loose threads of thought, I suddenly stumbled upon a revelation which, in fact has brought in a new bend in my vision No, it hasnt brought me on any cross roadway on the contrary, it has elevated me to a plane, from where Im seeing more things with more clarity.The idea, of which Im excited about, can be expressed in a maven phrase and Im doing that for you now Education is the manifestation of perfection, which is already in humansThis is the goldmine of ideas that Ive struck just a few days back. It perfectly conforms with the philosophical system of Vedanta even more, it consolidates the very base of it that is, Monism.Let me try to explain in detail. You must be knowing that Vedanta philosophy is essentially based on the idea that it is one unique that has been working all around.. This premise brings down this fact that the Almighty is not something or someone existing in somewhere, but it is He who is in us, exists equally everywhere. All around us and beyond is attuned with His existence. Now when I was contemplating with the idea of perfection, it suddenly came to my mind that if He is in us, and if He is the epitome of perfection , accordingly perfection is supposed to be inherent in us as well This idea made me so excited and I took to the narrow road down through our garden and settled myself beneath our big banyan tree to meditate in the joy of revelation.Brother James, the halo of this idea is still exerting its decide in me as now I am gradually coming to the terms of its fuller possibilities which, in essence is a limitless magic of the godly Almighty.Imagine what would happen, if each individual perceives this truth that they are already endowed with the power to be perfect in their acts and deeds, and all they have to do is to tap that uncounted reservoir of power Then this would bring in a collective spiritual revolution across the globe where all men and women would be lodge in in discovering the inner power of their own and all will be on the equal plane with a soothing sense of equality existence convinced of equality, all would solely be eager to extend their helping hands to others.This a ct of recognizing the inner reservoir of perfection has to have innumerable other implications as well, let alone the possibility of a collective and organized journey towards salvation. It would shorten the cycle of rebirth if there is any because it would connect to the soul, the spirit, or the atman in Vedic parlance which would in itself be an act of rising over the body and mindThe application of this new found philosophy, as Im feeling from within, would actually set everyone in motion much like the gases in the stars which emit the light till it attains the nirvana or moksha or salvation, you name it This would only spell a relentless development but without any competition it would be a confident march where everyone will arise, awake and will take leave not till the goal is reached.I can feel the excitement in me already, which speaks of the power of this idea. It was only days back I wrote in the pages of my intended handle for the youth of the world What I want is the m uscles of iron and nerves of steel, of which the thunderbolt is made.. and now I have to add lines to it, mentioning clearly that you have it all in you, the iron, the steel, the thunderbolt. All you need is to believe in this fact and act on this. The rest will take care of it.Brother Allen, I sincerely pray that this idea evokes a new spirit in you too, that you become aware of your potential and utilize it to the fullest and bask in the glory of salvation after develop like a star or a flower in this universe.Best Wishes,Swami Vivekananda,Ramkrishna Mission,Kolkata, India.01/01/1889Works ConsultedSayings of Swami Vivekananda. 3 Nov. 2007http//mysticsaint.blogspot.com/2005/06/sayings-of-swami-vivekananda.htmlQuotes of Swami Vivekananda. 3 Nov. 2007. http//thinkexist.com/quotes/swami_vivekananda/Biography of Swami Vivekananda. 3 Nov. 2007. http//www.writespirit.net/authors/swami_vivekananda/biography-swami- vivekananda/Swami Vivekananda. http//www.sriramakrishna.org/vvksay.htm
