Every soul has growing to do, regardless of how wise and experienced. Growth must be equal on all parts: physically, mentally, intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually. We cannot reach perfection till that growth has rounded us and advanced us to the point where we can finally realize and accept our own perfection and that around us.
When, like a tortoise retracting
its limbs, he withdraws his senses
completely from sensuous objects,
his insight is sure.
Sensuous objects fade
when the embodied self abstains from food;
the taste lingers, but it too fades
in the vision of higher truth.
The Bagavad-Gita, ch2, v57-59
