When imperfection is greater than perfection.

A perfected consciousness is attained in the highest status of being, when it is full of light and delight, peace and purity, one with the divine consciousness. Such a consciousness when it comes down upon earth in its original unmixed clarity, lives as a foreign element and has no real contact with the world. it can have only a very indirect influence upon men and things. If the perfect, the divine consciousness has to be truly effective, has to change human and world nature, it must put on partially at least that nature; it must share in the imperfections of ignorance so that it can show how that imperfection can be dealt with and transformed. The Divine has to become human even an ordinary human, in the outward instrument aspect, to a greater or lesser degree as needed, so that he may come in living contact with the obscure lower consciousness and put his light in to it, and gradually purify and illumine it. so the fluidity of mans nature means an opportunity.
