Desiderata, the plural for desideratum which means something to be desired or wanted. Years ago I came across a piece by Max Ehrman titled Desiderata. There is a perfection about that piece.
Brief and yet packs in a tremendous amount of practical wisdom. Its simple words have the depth to provide perspective to life s joys, sorrows, trials and tribulations. I have yet to come across any situation that could not have been referred to the piece without insight.
My favorite lines from it: You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars. You have a right to be there. And whether or not it is clear to you, the universe is unfolding as it should.
That expresses the same thought as, The world, Govinda, is perfect at every moment. Desiderata, the plural for desideratum which means something to be desired or wanted.
