My friend invited me to help clean her house. Her mother had passed away and she needed help. I wondered, why she needed this as she was not shifting or something. But when we started, I realized why she needed help. There were so many things and after that clean up, I started feeling scared of stacking anything for future use. There were unworn 100s of clothes for years. Empty boxes, utensils, so many things newly stashed, so many things used once and then lost and then new things found their way because old were not found. because there was so much clutter or things, cleaning also was not humanly possible regularly and then never, so everything gathered years of dust. Then lot of areas had gathered years of dust. I wondered what was that.
But what made me realize, does our mind look like this? We have so many compartments, things and issues in our mind, which have gathered dust and are becoming dirtier every day. We have forgotten they are there but they are there and they are making it further dirty. We do not have space for new in mind. All these things which we have accumulated over years have taken all the space. We may feel, we can use these issues against each other but alas. They are taking space in our mind, making it dirtier and dirtier.
So what do we have to do?
Get rid of all. Create space for new life, new thoughts, new emotions. Your thoughts are creating your life. So if you have old thoughts which have gathered the dust of time, this is what your life will have. Similar incidents will keep happening in your life again and again. You will keep yourself from better new experiences.
Create a new life by creating better space in your mind. So think what would really matter and if it will not then let it go! Let it go from the house and let it go from the mind. Create space for new everywhere. Let the breeze of fresh air come in.
