Good answer. The only change I'd make to the above to agree with it is a search operation on the word 'must,' replacing it with 'will.' It is possible to believe that everything is perfect (on some level) at every moment, while not believing that that perfection was designed or predestined. It could have an "operating system" of chaos and still be perfect, or it could have an "operating system" of karma + free will (not quite chaos but close, in effect) and still be perfect. As I suggested before, the reaction or overreaction of some people to such statements as Nisargadatta's is (IMO) based on trying to suss the reality of one state of attention from another. There is not just one reality; there are as many as there are states of attention, each different, each perfect (on some level) unto itself, each valid. All I'm suggesting is that one doesn't have to believe that these states of attention are hierarchical, with Unity being the "highest" and thus the "best" or the "real" reality. All of them coexist at all times, none of them "highest," none of them "best," all of them perfect.
