I tend to look it as once having gained the distinct experience of Brahman with that first trancendent experience of the mantra, we continue growing in our appreciation of that perfection, experienced as ourselves, others, the union of the two, the entire creation. So perfection is always there, like a compass needle pointing at the transcendent. It is up to us to learn to appreciate it more and more, become intimate with it.
