basics

Our minds which are at present thickly encrusted with 

unhealthy poisonous filth, through untold years of 

neglect and desertion, must of necessity, in the first instance,

 be cleansed thoroughly to make them fit abodes of Divinity.

Spirituality is the technique of accomplishing this

 consummation. Actual achievement must be preceded by 

firm determination. It is however, the first movement in the 

right direction which calls for maximum motive power. 

The process once started would gather 

momentum. Thereafter, constant vigilance shall ensure 

smooth transformation. Use the broom of scriptures, the

 whitewash of satsang and furnishing of upasana, and 

provide the reception of contemplation, and in meditation 

the Lord shall fill thee.
