The world is perfect, but the degree to which one feels that perfection and the sense of specialness regarding one's own level of enlightenment seem to be inversely proportional.

The more one understands that the world is perfect, the less one feels a sense of specialness regarding one's own level of enlightenment.
Conversely, if one does not understand that the world is perfect, one may feel (or be mistaken) that one's own level of enlightenment is special.

Especially when the kundalini has just risen and the lower chakras (below Manipura) are still dominant, one may feel that one's own level of enlightenment is special. Even though one may intellectually know that one is still far behind, a perception of specialness may emerge.

On the other hand, once one reaches Anahata or higher, that sense of specialness diminishes considerably. At the same time, a feeling may arise that the world is perfect, and that perhaps everyone around one is enlightened. Intellectually, one knows that this is not the case, but one may feel that everyone is enlightened. This perception may become more dominant than one's intellectual understanding, and one may feel that everyone is enlightened, even though one knows intellectually that this is not the case. When that happens, one can understand, on a visceral level, that one is not special.

Therefore, once one reaches Anahata or higher, there is no longer a need to be careful about feeling a sense of superiority. However, when the lower chakras (below Anahata) are dominant, even if one is trying to be careful, a sense of specialness may emerge in one's feelings and emotions.

This sense of specialness regarding one's own enlightenment is likely something that everyone goes through, and it cannot be avoided. It is best for each individual to be careful not to make others feel uncomfortable. Feeling a sense of specialness means that one still has a long way to go. One must overcome that sense of specialness and reach a point where one feels that everyone around one is actually enlightened.

At the same time that one reaches Anahata or higher and feels that those around one are enlightened, one's understanding of the world's perfection deepens. It is often said in spiritual circles that the world is perfect, but that understanding is still limited at the lower chakra levels. It seems that one can gain a certain degree of understanding at Anahata or higher.

When one is predominantly in the Anahata chakra, one's perception is still clouded, and one may simply perceive that everyone in the world is enlightened, like a veil or a cloud.

On the other hand, when one reaches a state of stillness, that illusion is largely removed. One's understanding of the world's perfection remains, but one also becomes aware that there is a difference between "stupid perfection" and "wise perfection." Both are perfect, and the world is indeed perfect, but not everyone is enlightened. This is, of course, obvious, but one can directly perceive it, both intellectually and emotionally.

When one is predominantly in the Manipura chakra, one may view one's own spiritual growth as a story of success and failure. However, when one reaches Anahata or higher, one begins to perceive that even one's past mistakes and failures, as well as one's successes, were all perfect. Since everything is perfect, not only for oneself but also for others, there is no sense of superiority. There is simply a difference between "wise learning" and "foolish learning." Even the absence of learning is a learning experience that allows one to understand that it is indeed a lack of learning. Everything is perfect. As that understanding deepens, the sense of specialness diminishes.
