Perfection is not an inert state of being. It’s not that upon once having achieved it, there is something else that has to come next. That’s the nature of other types of perfection, or so-called perfection. Anyone who is looking for other types of perfections should know that when they are obtained, there’s still something else to be had. Even liberation is described to be incomplete perfection. Why is liberation incomplete perfection? Because even if one becomes liberated from this world after performing very severe austerities and penances, he will fall from this position unless he’s taken shelter of Krsna’s lotus feet and has fully engaged himself in favorable devotional service to Krsna.
