Acceptance of a little bit of imperfection on the periphery, allows you to be more patient, more calm and ensures that you at least maintain the inner perfection.
You want everything to be perfect, and in the pursuit for perfection you forget to see your own imperfection, and how you can improve.
Love brings perfection. The realisation that you are not just the body but you are spirit comes through love.
In order to seek perfection, look at perfection, everywhere in creation. In creation, every step is perfect, every object is perfect, everything has its own place. When one does this, then grumbling and complaining mind stops, and rests peacefully.
When you are looking for perfection everywhere around, I tell you, you forget to see the imperfection inside of you. You want everything to be perfect, but are you perfect? You have to look for that.
