If I realized my own perfection!

I would shake the dust from my coat, and rise

If I realized my own perfection.

I would rush to the sky, empty and light;

My head would be high as the ninth heaven.

Thanks for your poem.
You inspire interesting thoughts and questions regarding the idea of perfection.
What does it take to achieve perfect soul, perfect body, and perfect mind?
What keeps one weighed down?
What does it take for one to be free and rise above?
If realization is a part of one's transformation; how does one realize perfection?

Thank you for your comment.

These are not my words, this is english translation of one of quatrains by Rumi.

I wish I knew the answer to your question about achieving perfection. I am still a beginner on this path, still learning. But the questions you raised are worth thinking about, maybe they are necessary in our quest towards perfection.

Thank you once again.
