Completeness in Dzogchen

Completeness in Dzogchen does not depend on anything external. We often feel incomplete because we are not in a relationship or do not have the right career. This has nothing to do with Dzogchen. Provided we have food and shelter then we are complete. Not only are we complete, but we are happy and luminous. This is why it is called the self perfected state, as it needs nothing apart from itself. This has to be understood at an experiential level and not an intellectual level. When one understands this then you are free from all manipulation as you no longer require external things to make you happy.
