The
one, free of defects, cannot commit
mistakes. It is impossible for man to avoid errors in thinking, actions and
words if he has failed to develop himself into a flawless being. Do not expect
others to identify your defects and intimate them to you with desired accuracy
and precision. For that matter, you, even after making you a man free of all defects
cannot identify the defects in others and report them with sufficient clarity
and accuracy.
No
one can know you better than yourself. One’s expression can never be a true
replica of what one actually is. Then, there are problems of perception, that
is, how accurately one is able to interpret what he views using his senses. Highly
complicated interplay of mind and decisive intellect create an image that
differs from what is real, and then, there are problems of inaccurate transmission
of the image, as perceived, to someone using words that are not free of subjectivity.
While
this is true that the physical world, replete with inherent defects, has no
ability of identifying our defects and making us aware of the same; it is also
true that the world, being the creation of the God, the ultimate truth, is not
completely deplete with practical truth; and hence, has the ability to help us
initiate a process of identifying our defects and getting rid of them. Of
course, after receiving the initial support from the relatively less defective
part of the world, it is entirely our responsibility to make us free of all defects.
Our
life is a journey; it is up to us how do we start off and how do we carry it
on. Our aim has to be to become a part of less defective world. This kind of a
modest approach can save us from many troubles. Our potential is infinite, but infinity
would always remain beyond us unless we commence our journey.
