Focus of the teaching
- “In fact, you will find that perfection is an idiotic thing. You can’t get it. You can’t get it. And it’s not necessary. But you must be able to work comfortably, easily, so that you’ll feel that you’re doing the right thing. If you’ll get me to … to tell you whether it’s right, well, I am such a nasty sort of chap, I will always find a fault. Not because I am so keen on finding fault because I am …. I had to work on myself to get rid of the perfection which was instilled in me and which was one of my disasters. And you find that, when I try to get perfection in others, I am trying to do something which I, myself, know that it’s idiotic.”
