"Cleanliness is next to Godliness"
in General Discussions
Dear Friends,

"Cleanliness is next to Godliness".
This is very famous proverb.

It came from Hebrew writings. Its first appearance in English was in the "Advancement of Learning" in 1605 by Francis Bacon.

What do you think about it?
How you interpret it?

Thanks & Regards,
Kumaresh

    Hmm let me give a try to interpret the meaning of this proverb. :)

    Perhaps, the proverb means that: " Being clean is as important as being religious".
    Infact all religions preach us to tell our prayers daily without fail. Similarly, it's also important for a person to daily keep himself as well as his surroundings always clean and hygenic. The more cleaner you are, the more closer/holier you will feel with God!!!

    That was just a try :huh: ...No other explanation I can think of right now :unsure:

    @KUmaresh, this is a very nice proverb but one which we Indians have forgotten!

    It really means that where there is cleanlines there is flow of positive energy which brings a sense of well being. Therefore it is beleived that where there is cleanliness, it is the abode of holy spirits. :)
