If you wish to be perfect go sell what you own.

And give the money to the poor.
We do not realise our possessions are a loan.
Death strips any life of grandeur.
All our lives have Satva , pure, luminous happiness.
Rajas,  leading us to ambition and action.
And when we are dormant, Tamas, indifference.
Binding the immortal self to the body in attraction.
The self abides in the inner chamber of the heart
Always at peace, whatever forces storm outside.
Our soul is in harbour, it can never come apart.
But we will always need a guide.
We may not be able to give up all we have.
But in our lives the have need not be our goldstone.
……
We have what we own
It need not be our goldstone
There is more to life
……
See Matthew 19:16-22 and Tbe Bhagavad Gita 14
