'The filter must be cleansed
atleast twice a year. Encircle two months of the year with an interval of 6
months. In order to remove the filter....'
As she read further she looked at her modern looking transparent hoover fitted
with full anti-allergic system which her husband particularly considered while
buying the hoover-keeping specially in mind her allergy to house dust. "How come
I missed this. Good Gosh! How could I miss such an important point. I never even
removed this filter in the past five years, let alone washing it twice a year.
Perhaps thats why the hoover outlet got blocked a couple of times and we had to
take it to the company for repair. Luckily it did not give any serious problem
still." She was thankful but regretfully.
But it took her to the fact that we keep spending our nights and days without
being aware of our filter system, our Conscience, which needs cleansing
regularly. Without its regular cleaning, how can we expect that it would warn us
on our wrong actions.
How to cleanse it though? Its not as simple as the filter of the hoover. "Wash
under cold water and let the water run untill clean water starts flowing out of
the filter. Let it dry under a radiator for 12 hours. The filter is now ready to
be re-fitted!"
Our filter cannot come out in our hands and there is physically none of the tap
waters, mineral waters, the sai'n baba's/saint's river water or the Zam-Zam can
wash it. But the Creator has made all the arrangements for it's cleansing in the
form of the teachings and practices sent from Him. It's just the matter of being
aware of the need to clean this filter regularly and then being prepared to
spend time on this job-out of our such busy lives. Even the prayers, fasting and
alms giving is a part of this cleansing procedure.
Besides these basic regular practices we ought to spare some time reading and
understanding such and extended teachings in order to educate this Conscience so
that it is able to filter all the faults in time leaving the outlet of our
actions un-blocked. Otherwise it's highly likely that the system might break
down....
