A Perfect Act

No action is undesirable as long as it produces a beneficial result to all concerned, including you. You may call that a perfect act. The definition of a perfect act is one that neither hurts you, nor hurts anyone else. At the same time, it should bring at least some benefit to somebody. Sometimes due to past life experiences, or lack of proper training, the mind would want to do things that are not beneficial. Gently direct the mind, educate it. That is Yoga. The very purpose of all your spiritual practice is to learn how to direct your thoughts and actions for a good purpose.
