Inner cleansing

There is no point of cleaning externally, the key effects comes if you start cleansing your innerself. Sanit Kabir says - A fish is always in water and no matter how many times you wash but still the stink never goes.

Life

The wise man looks upon life as a mere dew drop which quivers upon the tip of a blade of kusa (grass), to be whisked off or blown away by the breeze at any moment. The life of an unwise, imprudent, and ignorant person is likewise as transient as the said dew drop.
-Acarangasutra 5.5

Kindness

The best way to practice kindness is to treat everyone we meet as kin. When we are kind, we are treating one another as though we are related, connected and have no expectation in return. To be kind is to realize that every other person is just like us. Everyone wants to do well. If we have the energy of compassion and loving kindness in us, the people around us will be influenced by our way of being and living. This is also one of the key quality of influencing others and self. Many a time we act kind but this never comes in our gesture because we are not being kind from heart. It's superficial. Once you start practicing kindness from core of your heart, it will automatically flow in your gesture. Try you will for sure influence and make your life truely comfortable and relaxed at core of your heart.
An old Indian saying by Great Poet and Saint "Tulsidas" .....Daya ( Kindness) Dhrama ko mool hai. Paap Mool Abhiman.
