”A Sufi is good at things but not too good.”

I don’t recall exactly how it came about but they were trying to design a poster for a Shahabuddin event and they were trying to make is so perfect and he said, “A Sufi is good at things but not Too Good.“. What did he mean by this? Or what did my Dad mean by his wisdom piece of “The Perfect is the Enemy of The Good.“. What is the meaning here ?
It is getting caught up in the product not the process. The product becomes more important than the feelings of the people around it. I remember so clearly, one of Qahira Qalb’s daughters at her funeral speaking with such heartfelt appreciation for when she spilled some milk, Qahira cared not for the milk for what mattered was the feelings of her daughter. And in this the daughter knew and felt her mother’s love.
It is just as important, if not more important, the vibration we bring to something as what the thing actually is. If we care so much about it, we forget that what matters is the message it carries, and the message it carries is to a large extent the vibrational energy that gathers around it as we it is made, delivered and received.
Recall one of last hurdles of the virtuous man is to lose his attachment and identification with being virtuous or or good. Notice, how again and again, all the teaching blend together and are one and the same. To be in the world but not of the world. And innumerable other examples. Pick anyone of them and in the end they all meet at that place, that is in between knowing and not knowing. It is the vibrational realm and is un-wordable.
