“It is natural for us to be calm. God has given that status at the time of our birth it is we who have added all the blemishes that make us disturbed. Disturbed in the sense that we have applied our mind to other sensory inputs instead of applying to the particular consciousness of quiet sensory inputs. Occasional disturbances of a noise outside will not form an impression. Only when there is an intention for you to own that particular experience or a feeling you form a samskara. This is what is known as intentional consciousness. So the internal consciousness is enormously influenced by the content of the intentional consciousness. These intentions are our own. We have willed it, if we have not willed for such an attachment or an intention to hold it as our own, which is not our own, which is in nature of things, we started owning up and once we own it, it becomes a part of our samskara. The intentional consciousness gets itself into a state of samskara. These samskaras are what we are trying to get rid off during the cleaning process so that the mind comes to a state of calmness or steadiness which is its true nature. Its true nature is to be oriented to the Divine, which is already in us. The cleaning process helps us to get rid off these samskaras so that the mind becomes more and more clean and if we are going to accept only the samskara which we have during your meditation namely the relative quiet that we get among varying thoughts, the relative quiet will come to us for a few seconds. <br/> Man has three types of impurities: Mala, Vikshepa and Avarana. Master states categorically unless these impurities or coverings are removed, inspiration or guidance from the inner voice is meaningless. ("Reality at Dawn," p. 59). Mala means superficial impurities or dirt that are caused by lack of control over the senses, such as laziness, sloth, attraction to trivia and giving up impulsive tendencies towards sensory pleasures. <br/> Vikshepa means the unreal projections of desires for enjoyment, such as greed avarice, jealousy and others. <br/> Avarana means the layers of grossness due to past Samskaras or impressions in the five layers of our being named as Physical, Vital, Mental, Aspirational and Ecstatic (Annamaya, Pranamaya, Manomaya, Vijnanamaya and Anandamaya) which drag a person down through formation of the Antahkarana (Inner Apparatus that moves from one life to another called as Jiva) and form as a barrier for the Union between man and God which is the primary right of every human being.”

“Cleaning or purifying ourselves of negative energies through daily meditation and purificatory sessions can provide a direct link to the "ultimate reality," i.e., the pure consciousness residing within each of us. As our negative beliefs are purified through regular contact with the "light" of our divine nature, unhealthy emotions, such as fear, hate and anger, will naturally begin to diminish, and we will be free to transcend to higher states of consciousness. We will have the descending grace of the Master more and more such that our true self start vibrating in the higher planes of consciousness, while simultaneously and automatically attracting others of similar vibration. Our world will become more synchronistic with the divine. We will naturally repel angry, fearful people, and those who stick around will become calmer and more centered. We will radiate love. By simply being in consciousness governed by purity, we will have a greater effect on the world than the most gifted orators and political leaders.”
