The other day, I was hand washing some clothes here in India. I noticed that with many of the clothes, I was more concerned that the inside of the items should be clean and less concerned about the outside. This seemed to me to reflect an attitude about myself.
Do we emphasise our outer image, how we present ourselves to other people? Or do we give priority to our inner state? Do we merely wash our exterior, superficial layer of skin? Or do we take the time to clean our inner world – our beliefs, prejudices and emotional spaces?
