Question: How do we find a balance between accepting our imperfections and renouncing them?
Sri Chinmoy: There are only a few things that are past correction. Most things can be made perfect. If you are really sincere, your own aspiration will show you which are the things that you have to immediately renounce from your nature and which are the things you can and you will transform slowly, steadily and unerringly in order to become a perfect instrument of the Supreme.
