The One Who Cleans…..

The one who cleans…..

You must be completing my sentence like this: Sri Hari~The one who cleans……

You are correct if Sri Hari flashed in your mind after reading the title but today I’m here with a different point of view.

The one who cleans needs to clean himself too.

On our daily basis we use towel to soak the excess water, and we all have heard this lame line that how towel gets dirty when it’s not been used for cleaning at all. And science answered this fact very well. 

We use a mob to clean the floor and in cleaning others it catches dirt. Poor mob… I was cleaning my room yesterday, well I clean my room on daily basis but yesterday was the day of deep cleaning. I realised that one who cleans need to clean itself too. 

We are human being, while listening to others, we don’t even realise that when we caught this dirt, dirt of unnecessary thoughts, memories, tension and all. We keep serving others and one day we realise that we need someone to listen to us as well. This situation came because you didn’t took care of yourself buddy. If you know how to remain detached by staying in this world, you are free from worries. You should give attention to yourself as well. Doing social works, showing kindness is good always but there is someone else who needs your love, attention and kindness and that someone is “You”. 

Your mind needs to be cleaned. Daily cleaning is ok but it needs deep cleaning after few weeks, the same way we do deep cleaning of our homes during navratri diwali and other festivals. Sadhana is something like deep cleaning and nitya karma is like daily cleaning.

Once in two months keep few days aside for deep cleaning.

As said  in Bhagwad Purana: (10.5.4)

kālena snāna-śaucābhyāṁ

saṁskārais tapasejyayā

śudhyanti dānaiḥ santuṣṭyā

dravyāṇy ātmātma-vidyayā

(O King, by the passing of time, land and other material possessions are purified; by bathing, the body is purified; and by being cleansed, unclean things are purified. By purificatory ceremonies, birth is purified; by austerity, the senses are purified; and by worship and charity offered to the brāhmaṇas, material possessions are purified. By satisfaction, the mind is purified; and by self-realization, the soul is purified.)

Just check if you need this cleaning or not… Although most of you are here after deep cleaning session of 16 days so you don’t need this for now but you can save this for later, enjoy your time and be kind always. 

Narayani Namostute 🌼
