Episode 5 -- Abandonment to Divine Providence Bk 1 ch 1.4 -- Doing God’s Will Not Necessarily Understanding it

In what does perfection consist?

Perfection consists in our wills being united with God's will. Perfection does consist in our fully understanding why God wills what he wills. Perfection does not consist in the mere studying of how God acts. We want to have God acting in us. We want to cooperate with God's action. Mere theories about how water quenches thirst will not help our actual thirst after a long and hot day. We want to pray and not just know about prayer.
