Its Simply IDEAL
An ideal is a vision perfection we nurture and strive to attain.
When our ideal is shattered on the rocks of reality - it is only its limitation that is shattered, opening the door for us to find it again in a greater form.
An ideal is the means to growth, but its breaking is the means to evolution.
If your ideal is not shattered, you will never see what lies beyond it.
Make not an idol of your ideal!
Hazrat Inayat Khan wrote:
"The God-ideal is the flower of creation, and the realization
of truth is its fragrance."
"In all directions of progress the ideal is the compass that
shows the way."
"You must find your ideal in yourself; no ideal in life will
prove lasting and true except the one you yourself make."
