spiritual perfection
Ultimate inner purity
Spiritual perfection is the state of complete alignment with divine will or ultimate moral and spiritual ideals.
In Christian theology, it describes the soul purified of sin and fully united with God.
Other traditions frame it as enlightenment, liberation, or transcendence of the ego.
The concept implies a destination for spiritual practice: The monks devoted their lives to spiritual perfection.
Whether attainable in this life or only after death varies by tradition.
