On thought

„Your attempts to purify your thoughts are like trying to
cleanse the skin of all dirt. In spite of having a clean bath,
when you scrub the skin there will be some dirt left.
Would you stop bathing everyday since anyway dirt
continues to accumulate? Would you stop cleaning your
house because cobwebs would anyway gather? Similarly
one should not get worked up over the negativity in thought
nor should it be ignored. One needs to be conscious of it.
That is all.”
