Meditation is called The Great Teacher !
Meditation is the cleansing crucible-fire that works
slowly through understanding !
To cultivate your mind, first you have to clear out the various irritants that
are in the way, pull them right out by the root so that they won’t grow back.
Then you fertilize.
You pump energy and discipline into the mental soil. Then you sow you
seed and you harvest1234567890123456789012345678901212345678901234
your crops of faith, morality, mindfulness, and wisdom.
