"We are all used to taking a physical bath to clean and cool the body.  After the bath we feel fresh and comfortable.  It is very rarely, however, or even never do we get the opportunity to clean our minds in the same way."

"We tend to carry into adult life the dirt we have been accumulating since our infancy, and probably we even carry accruements from our former lives.
Therefore the reason for our meditation is clear: — by purifying the mind we become GOOD, HAPPY, AND WISE.  The individual creates society, and society creates the world.  Therefore, we begin with the individual, and that is: -- YOU.  The impurities to be eradicated are the self-centred emotions, which the Buddha called lust (lobha), hate (dosa), and delusion (moha), the sense of ‘self,’ which is the basis of all selfishness.

These emotions not only pollute our minds, but they also interfere with our physical health.  This problem is what is today called STRESS.  Emotions have been useful for some lower animals for the preservation of life and the propagation of the species.  But the human beings have a better tool for that purpose, which is intelligence. Intelligence is the one distinctive faculty that makes the human being stand out among all other animals."
