Is There A Perfect Place?

There is not.

Consider an argument I borrow from Vivekananda, one I reconstruct thus:

  1. By its very nature, all forms are limited. 
  2. To be limited is, necessarily, to be imperfect.
  3. By its very nature, the Formless is limitless.
  4. To be limitless is, necessarily, to be perfect.
  5. To seek perfection (or, even, perfectibility), then, in the limited is to make a “category mistake” (Gilbert Ryle). Consequently, it is to perpetuate samsara.
  6. To seek perfection in the limitless is to discover What You Are.
  7. That discovery is none other than Peace Itself (ananda).

A twist: When it’s discovered that you are Peace Itself, then and only then is every place perfect.
