You see, without that, what you are left with is something extraordinary. It is not interested in comparing itself with your intellect or anything. Acceptance' is not the word. When once it is a fact that there is no movement in any direction of improving, changing, or evolving into anything different or better, then what is there is something extraordinary. It is unique in its own way.
Every individual is unique.
Nature creates perfect species and not perfect individuals. Perfect individuals are created by the religious thinking of man. We have put before ourselves the model of Jesus and Buddha and all these religious teachers. It would be a horrible world if this planet were to be only full of Jesuses and Buddhas and all the other teachers. It would be horrible and terrible.
