“A tree is no less perfect because it is a seedling. A tiny infant is no less perfect than a grown-up. It is perfection itself. Because it cannot do a thing, does not know a thing, that does not make it somehow less perfect. A child makes mistakes. She stands. She toddles. She falls. She stands again, a bit wobbly, hanging on to her mommy’s leg. Does that make the child imperfect? I tell you it is just the opposite. That child is perfection itself, wholly and completely adorable. So, too, are you.”

This passage reminds me of the yogic concept of wholeness – being whole. And the divinity that is in each one of us. In this material-focused world, it is easy to identify with one’s mind, one’s body, and feel less whole by not knowing something, or not “looking right”, or being deemed “less capable”.

I feel it is wise not to confuse the process of learning and exploring ourselves in this life time with our own true, pure, divine nature.

Namaste – “The Divinity in me bows down to the Divinity in you”
