Acharya Prashant explains that one is not under any obligation to be perfect. Your incompetencies and deficiencies are welcome and are a part of the game. The important thing is to be alive and alert. When you are, even out of your most botched-up action, something auspicious will happen. He gives the example of Shabri, who, not knowing how to welcome a king, tasted the fruits before offering them. Though a flawed action, something auspicious happened. You are imperfect, but even in your imperfection, there is a lot of perfection. Be sure of that. The demand for perfection is a great arrogance of the ego, which says, "How can I be content with anything less than perfection? I deserve the ultimate." The speaker refutes this, stating that you are alright as you are, and in that, there is perfection. The path is to do whatever you must and dedicate it to perfection. Dedicate all your imperfections to the perfect. Acknowledge your limitations: the body is limited, thought is limited, and words are limited. Do what you can within these constraints and surrender the rest. This is perfection. The speaker humorously dismisses the fantasy of becoming a physically perfect being, like Lord Krishna with a thousand arms. Instead, he points to the reality of the human condition with all its accompaniments like being overweight, balding, or having bad breath. These are necessary aspects of having a body and mind. Imperfection will always be there; one should enjoy it and live with it, but not identify with it. He points out that even great sages like Ramana Maharshi and Ramakrishna Paramhansa had physical ailments. The patterns of the body cannot be broken, but one can dis-identify from them. One can stand at a distance from these patterns, which is the key. Identifying with anything, whether it is hatred or affection, is equally disastrous. You do not identify with bliss; you are in bliss. Bliss is the dissolution of the identifying center. Similarly, you are in Truth; you do not identify with the Truth.
