It matures when every kind of fear and guilt and regret fades away. It ripens when there is only an ever expanding state of joy and peace always. It is complete when we decide we are complete and can never call ourselves seekers again.

When wanted things happen, take a deep breath and smile. When unwanted things happen, take a deep breath and smile. No matter what happens, take a deep breath and smile.
Whatever we judge and dislike in ourself and in others, sooner or later we are destined to do ourself, and repeat until we realize the deeper order and wisdom in it. Whatever we negate and deny, we don't see clearly. And what we don't see clearly we bump into, again and again.
