Do not pollute your mind by cultivating desires - Swami

[Guest guest]

Rain water is pure. When you place a vessel while it is raining, you

can collect pure water. It is like distilled water. By drinking that

water, you will not be troubled by any ailment. When the same water is

mixed up with other substances, it gets polluted. In the same manner,

the mind is always pure. It gets polluted by desires. Hence, do not

pollute your mind by cultivating desires. When a desire arises in your

mind, brush it aside to keep your mind free from pollution. You read

your text books and acquire knowledge, similarly, it is your duty to

keep your mind always pure and free from pollution. This is most

important learning you must acquire today.
