What does it mean that life is perfect?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Life is perfect not because it conforms to an ideal, but because it simply is; when you drop judgment and embrace reality with wonder, even imperfections reveal their inherent beauty."
According to Osho, life is perfect not by matching an ideal, but because there is no ideal to compare it with. Perfection is seeing reality as it is, without 'shoulds.' Drop judging and knowledgeability; look with wonder and not-knowing. Then even apparent imperfections reveal perfection, and gratitude, harmony, and prayerfulness naturally arise.
Life is already okay as it is; our ideas of how it should be make us unhappy.
