Day of Perfection (ritual, mission, prophet, spiritual, bless)

[Bishka]

In another thread I asked about the Days of the Baha'i calender and what they represented, and I found out that Monday has the name of Perfection. What does that mean to you? Do you do anything specific during the day to remember that? I am very interested in these name days, is there anything else you could tell me about them?

When we have the name "Perfection" or Kamal as a day of the week it is an attribute of God and we are reminded of this ... You see in a way a goal of human life in the Baha'i view is to reflect the attributes of God...so allowing the perfection of God to be reflected in our lives is important in our spiritual life.

Also one of the titles of Baha'u'llah was the "Blessed Perfection". anyway in our lives we strive to reflect these attributes of God but to reflect them we must polish the mirror of the heart to better do this... The days of the Baha'i year help us to be mindful of reflecting these attributes of God.

Abdul-Baha also made an interesting statement about perfection:

The reason of the mission of the Prophets is to educate men; so that this piece of coal may become a diamond, and this fruitless tree may be engrafted, and yield the sweetest, most delicious fruits. When man reaches the noblest state in the world of humanity, then he can make further progress in the conditions of perfection, but not in state; for such states are limited, but the divine perfections are endless.
