Perfection...

"It is inherent in man,

imperfect though he is,

ceaselessly to strive after
perfection.

In the attempt he falls into reverie.

And just as a child strives
to stand, falls down again and again,

and ultimately learns how to walk, even
so, man, with all his intelligence,

is a mere infant as compared to the infinite
and ageless God.

The goal ever recedes from us.

The greater the progress the greater the
recognition of our unworthiness.

Satisfaction lies in the effort - not in the
attainment.

Full effort is full victory. "


Gandhi - The Way to God
