Maintain both external and internal cleanliness.

[Guest guest]

Swami has said, that Bhajans are for our own purifications. Yes, outer cleanliness can be achieved by many soaps and talcum powders, perfumes etc including wearing washed cloths. What about the "Inner cleanliness"? How we can achieve it? Swami has give few instructions. While taking bath, chant the names of God or chant the "Gayathri Manthra. By this, you get purified both internally and externally. Likewise, adhering to Truth, non-violence leads us towards the Divinity. Many lament that in spite of continueous Sadhana, they do not find any discernable progress. Swami has clarified that the vessel must be made pure first, then only the items cooked in the vessel will remain clean and pure. If the vessel is contaminated, the food will become contaminated. Hence first remove the weeds within your heart. Clean yourself by virtues and service with sacrifice. Then the sadhanas you undertake will become effective. Sairam.
