Purifying Your Thoughts
something meaningful for ourselves?
Without having cleansed our thoughts, the knowledge we gain is only superficial...until we undergo complete purification, we will not be able to raise our level to absorb the right spirit.
We need to be worthy enough to achieve!
Firstly, we need to understand the process of cleansing the bottle i.e. cleansing our thoughts and old beliefs and its only thereafter, that we can attempt to understand the process of purification of our soul and make some progress. Till then, how much ever we may try, how much ever we may get influenced by the discourses of various saints, it would all be futile.
A storm comes and spreads the dust all over, but soon after the storm is gone, the dust settles down. The ascetics can come and stir up new ideas and thoughts, akin to a tornado, causing upheaval and flings everything that comes in its way up to the sky. However, just like the tornado, the ascetics are only able to stir up what lies at the top. What lies beneath, can only be improved by us individually, through the act of purifying our thoughts and underlying beliefs that influence the way we conduct ourselves daily.
You may have spent years in the religious circles, attended various discourses and might have been influenced by many. But till the time you do not analyse
