đź—˝Cleanliness is next to Godliness!
The only Route to Our Spiritual Upliftment!
This life is but a tunnel in the great ocean of eternity. We are here to have a short-term physical experience. We are not just this body that experiences occasional spiritual moments through certain rituals.
We are souls, tiny specks representing the universal soul, sent to this earth to have a physical experience.
“We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.” — Alan Watts
“You are an infinite spiritual being having a temporary human experience” — Wayne Dyer
“Begin to see yourself as a soul with a body rather than a body with a soul” — Wayne Dyer
Knowing that I am a soul, not just this body and that this body is like a costume I wear to cover myself, my perspective suddenly changed. I became more serious about this blessed life of mine.
My life is a blessing. No matter how much I offer gratitude to my Lord, my God, I feel so humble and feel that God should tell me himself how I can express my gratitude in a way that will greatly please him. Because it is all about His happiness and satisfaction with us.
If God, our Lord, is happy and satisfied with us, then He becomes our hands with which we do our chores.
He becomes our eyes with which we see His wonderful world.
He becomes our ears with which we hear the melodies of His wonderful creatures.
He takes our physical body as His great abode.
The most important part in attracting divine favor, help, and blessings is our physical cleanliness, as well as the purity of our hearts and thoughts.
Consider this Scenario
Imagine wanting to invite a very important person to your home for dinner. What would be the first thing you do to prepare your home and yourself for your special guest?
You would likely say, "I will clean my house and myself." Then, you would add, "I will perfume my house and my body so that I can welcome my honored guest and enjoy a pleasant conversation.." After that, you might say, "I will cook and arrange things the way my honored guest wishes to see." And, you would mention more things like that.
I will then say to you, don't do anything except imagine all those preparations to be done not on the material level, but on a mental and spiritual level.
On the physical level, your honored guest is happy with your wonderful arrangements according to his wishes. And on the mental and spiritual level, our Lord will be happiest to see the utmost purity and piety we have maintained to receive our Lord in our soul and heart.
All the great saints and elevated souls went through this process and received in their inner world the Lord of the lords, the King of the kings, and the Master of the masters.
If our Lord is happy and pleased with us, He will bestow upon us before our hearts can even perceive what we want and before our lips utter the words of prayer to convey our message to Him.
Just always strive to be pure in body, mind, and soul; and everything else is more than a miraculous path!
“Purity of speech, of the mind, of the senses, and of a compassionate heart are needed by one who desires to rise to the divine platform.” — Chanakya
“The real ornament of woman is her character, her purity.” — Mahatma Gandhi
“Nobody is more dangerous than he who imagines himself pure in heart; for his purity, by definition, is unassailable.” — James Baldwin
