Washing

You wash your clothes and face.  This washing gets rid of dirt and debris to make things clean.  Meditation is the  washing of the mind.  The mind fills up with stuff, much of which you don’t need but which seems to take up space, like a closet full of clothes you don’t wear.  You need the mind to be clean or clear to receive some insight of a more spiritual reality, that will wait for you to make it some space.  I try to wash my mind on a daily basis.  Clothes once a week.
