Returning to Purity

We enter the world pure with a clean slate. We are introduced to our parents, primary teacher, religious person and the world’s challenges. Life’s journey, whether positive or negative create our mindset. This mindset is the core influence that guide (verb-direct or have an influence on the course of action of someone/something) or mis-guide our life.
The purpose of life is to refine one’s self and return back to a pure state. There are very basic practices that one can implement that will guarantee success. I will describe step by step the program that will create this reality.
As we travel life’s roads and highways, we become consumed by despair, low spirits, loss of hope and courage.
Life is full of many different challenges. Each day we live, positive values are very necessary in helping us differentiate between things that are right and wrong. Our positive values affect both us and the society around us. Good positive values can help improve our decision making in life, eradicate low spirits and despair.
During this covid-19 pandemic human values have been greatly tested. Domestic violence is at an historic high. The divorce rate is up and juvenile crimes are out of control. We can ask ourselves, when will things improve? There is a famous quote from Holy Quran, “Allah (God) have never changed the condition of a people until they change what is in their heart.” Condition is defined as circumstance, situation, state and provision etc. It’s an organ in the chest that if it is disease, the whole body is disease. This organ is the heart. When the heart is restricted in function, the brain dies because lack of oxygen.
So, my universal family, the enduring way to return to a pure state is cleansing the heart. This cleansing, will remove the burden that beleaguer us. The question is, how do we clean the heart?

1. First, we must surround ourselves with positive high frequency people. People who have a positive outlook about life.
2. Second, only indulge in positive uplifting endeavors. Entertainment that comforts the heart.
3. Third, do volunteer work with the elderly and young people.
4. Keep your environment clean, house, city or town block and neighborhood.
   These four disciplines are the beginning stages of cleansing our human heart. Stay tuned in our next segment, we will present four more instructions on heart cleansing.
