The reason of 'imperfection'

[Sufi]

Q: Tell me the reason of the imperfection of some beings in the universe, despite the fact that the universe is indeed entirely an exhibition of the Whole Intellect!

A: Perfection or imperfection is out of consideration for the Whole Intellect. The Whole Intellect only invents something new in every moment and exhibits them in accordance with the order as It wills. However, each that is exhibited has an equal value in Its sight.

The difference between one and the others is in relationship with each other. That is, all comparisons are completely relational and arbitrary. They are nothing more than given names!

The true difference, if there is really, can be the levels of their realizations of their true self. Yet, they are still completely subject to judgments.

Therefore, even though the levels of realizations somehow seem to make sense and valid from individualistic perspectives, in the eyes of those who could free themselves from individualistic identifications and become a reflective mirror to the Whole Intellect, each unit is in fact an invention of the Whole Intellect sharing an equal value.

Imperfection is only percieved. Imperfection is constructed in our minds.

That this is so is perfection. All must be as it is and as it is it should be because it came to be. It wouldn't have come to be if it shouldn't have (according to the function of the Universe).

We can hope for things to be different later. Our function dictates that we strive for the changes we deem worthy of striving for.

What good is such intellectual gibberish!? Has any Saint ever used Big Words to walk on water?

What this pompous gibberish is trying to say is that perfection can only be considered when compared to a pre-set standard. This can either be an absolute standard or simply relative to something else.

Religions love to claim an absolute standard which of course can never exist, everything will always be relative.

Absolutism is a trap that Greek Philosophy set up for Religion. The Greek Philosophers of one generation decided that everything about God would be Absolute, so that the Greek Philosophers of the next Generation could say that God does not exist because there are no Absolutes. Few care to discern that the Greek Atheists only disprove Greek Theology.

Revealed Religion does not pretend to seriously believe in Absolutes. Certain things are said in praise and eulogy -- proving that flattery is never healthy even when it is applied to God. But when the facts of Revealed Religion are examined, we find that God and the Universe are limited, are conditional, are changing. The very existence of Evil proves there is no Absolute Good, doesn't it. The purpose of Religion is not to tell us that everything is Absolutely Perfect, but to show us the Conflict and make us choose sides -- Love and Community against Hate and the Republicans.
