Let me begin with a hard truth: the phrase “I’m not perfect” though often disguised as humility, is, in many cases, a quiet surrender. It has become a badge of honour for many, a hiding place for spiritual laziness, and a justification for moral inconsistency. But this mindset is dangerous. It is not humility, it is a subtle form of pride that resists growth and refuses the daily striving required of those who genuinely seek the Light.
Scripture commands, “Be ye perfect.” This is no casual suggestion. Perfection, rightly understood, is not about flawlessness in the human sense. It is about living in harmony with the Laws of Creation, which express the Will of the Most High. And yes, it is possible to walk toward this perfection while still on earth.
This is not idealism. It is truth.
A human being can live in joyful activity, experience strength and peace, and radiate the sublime light of inner harmony, even here, even now. The help for this is available. The Laws are clear. The Commands have been given. The examples have been set. What remains is our volition, our earnest will to strive for that which is good.
Indeed, there is help from above. Always. One need only reflect on the powerful reassurance from the Grail Message: “The Father has already endowed you with the strength for everything! You have only to use it!”
So let us stop excusing our failings. Let us take up our Cross and follow the Way, the Truth, and the Life. That Way is not tied to religious rituals or dogmas. It is rooted in love. Jesus simplified the Ten Commandments into two: Love the Almighty, and love your neighbour as yourself. And today, we are helped even further by the radiant truth that all the Laws of Creation meet in one great Law: the Law of Love.
Love is not weakness. Love is not sentimentality. Love is justice, and love is purity. These three are not separate—they are one. In them, perfection rests.
According to scriptural accounts, when the disciples, astonished at the strict conditions of entering the Kingdom, asked: “Then who in the world can be saved?” Jesus answered:
“With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.”
In other words, stop justifying your inconsistencies. Stop hiding behind weakness. There is strength available to you. There is power from on high. The path is not cruel. It is illuminated for those who earnestly seek.
Not for nothing did the great Master say, “Become like children!”
He who sincerely desires the good, who seeks inner purity, is already walking the path. This doesn’t require special books, ascetic rituals, or retreats into solitude. It requires no spiritual strain. It is simply a life of joyful, pure activity, grounded in inner clarity and obedience to truth.
This is not a call to religiosity.
This is a call to reality.
A call to awaken. A call to transformation.
So let no one hide behind the tired excuse, “I am not perfect.” That phrase kills your striving before you even begin. Instead—arise! Walk the path of joyful obedience, childlike trust, and loving clarity. Everything you need has already been given.
The time for excuses is past.
The time to strive is now.
