Diwali is here and cleaning is in it's full swing. We clean each and every corner of the house to welcome Goddess Laxmi. Cleanliness is next to Godliness. So the Goddess dwells in cleanliness and leaves if she finds filth.
Have a deep look. What about the inner richness?? Doesn't it gets repelled by the grossness in us? So lets take the cleaning to our spiritual self and invite our inner richness. What filth will you first like to clean up??
Happy Diwali!!

People clean their houses as Goddess Lakshmi comes and resides in a clean abode but people do not realise that God never resides in them who have a nasty heart and attitude. Though it cannot be felt openly, one has to pay for it in their lifetime.
Yesterday, I got a beautiful image on WhatsApp where there is a picture of huge ear and a lady cleaning the inner of ear with a broom. The caption read "Diwali cleaning is on. Please clean your ears of the kachda (dirt and filth )that you enjoy listening about others".
I think message was clear and very deep. Do not feed your senses with any dirt which accumulates in inner grossness
Any kind of accumulation of dirt or any unwanted stuff should be removed. It is true Goddess Lakshmi steps in to those Houses where there is cleanliness and well lit with oil lamps.

sir you are not getting the question or you are not trying to. It is not about outward cleaning and celebration but about inner cleaning. I hope this time the question makes sense and you post some valid point.
Do not just keep posting pointless points for the sake of points. Donot kill the life of a healthy forum.
If you are talking about avoiding the accumulation of inner dirt, can you clarify how to go about it?? That will add to the points that we are seeking here.

If we kept our house neat and clean our health will be nice one. With good health we can work better and earn better. In this way Goddess Lakshmi steps in our house. We must be kept clean our house always not only on specific day.

I salute you for your dedication towards cleaning. May Goddess Laxmi come and bless all.
But what about inner cleaning?? Can we stick to that for the sake of this forum in real sense.
yes, we all peoples are clean dust in our home from all corners because god Laxmi will comes on Dipawli and we are welcome to she in fresh and clean home and I always do the cleaning at home with my wife on Dipawali because For cleaning the whole house she gives accompany of me. In my house my all family members to do this but me and my wife even after cleaning.
Scriptures say BAHYA ( Outward) and ANTARA ( Inner ) sanctity has to be maintained in order to get the Blessings of Goddess Lakshmi. But the reality is some thing different Whether inner sanctity is maintained or not Deepawali is being celebrated. Still a few people believe all about inner and outward sanctity.

Meditation is useful tool for inner cleaning.
OK. Meditation will be useful for inner Cleaning. My question is, all those who celebrate Diwali are doing Meditation ? If Meditation is not done, Diwali celebrations would stop ?

Meditation is one of the tools for inner peace. Totally agree and I never said that those who do not do meditate should not celebrate. In fact I did not mention about celebration at all. I just asked about the inner cleaning as we all are busy with outward cleaning as a part of ritual.
I think you misunderstood the topic and totally diverted it into something it is not related to.
My response to the post very much related to the post. I am a Hindu and had been celebrating Daapavali ever since I remember. Before Deepavali we clean both the surroundings and inside the house. For inner purification we do fasting. This is all we do for every Deepavali. This way I and other people celebrate Deepavali.

Meditation and self analysis are both extremely useful tools for everyone and when it is done on a regular basis, our efficiency rate increases and helps in inter personal relationships.

HE has probably been appointed as the brand ambassador for the swachchhata abhiyan and he wants to grab attention of all to it! It is either that or he now plainly refuses to understand what we keep telling him!
