When the mind is clear of the dust of desire, the vision of the Self becomes steady and peaceful.
Yoga Sutras of Patanjali
General Wisdom
Meaning:
Desires are like dust that settles on the mirror of the mind. When we stop obsessing over what we want, the mirror becomes clean, and we can finally see the peaceful nature of our own soul.

Daily Application

Practice mental cleaning. For a few minutes, let go of all your plans for the future. In that desireless state, feel the clarity and calm that emerge automatically.
