Who doesn’t like a clean house, but does anyone really enjoy doing the
cleaning? In the physical realm a little dust on the shelves, a cobweb or two
high in a corner or a carpet that could use a visit from the vacuum are one
thing, but of much greater importance is our spiritual housekeeping. When we
allow the dust of negative thinking and morbid reflection to accumulate in our
consciousness the consequences can be dire. When a glass breaks, an egg slips
our grasp, the new kitten or puppy has an “accident" are all things we
address immediately, in much the same way we get busy spiritually on the “big issues”
of life. But unlike that dusty shelf or dirty base board we are meaning to get
around to, when we fail to address life's little hurts and small fears they
accumulate in the quiet corners of our consciousness and left unattended,
nibble away at our serenity, our peace of mind slips allowing the adversary,
fear, to gain purchase in the forefront of our consciousness, coloring every
aspect of our lives.
Spiritually we must keep our house clean for the adversary is relentless. Where
a dusty shelf or a floor that could use a good sweeping may be distractions,
small resentments and unaddressed fears left to fester in our spiritual house
have real power to harm. So, we work to address them as soon as we become aware
of them and do not under any circumstance or pretext put off our cleaning. By
employing daily prayer, taking responsibility for our actions, admitting when
we are wrong, employing daily meditation and selfless service those
"corners" of our consciousness are liberated from the spiritually
corrosive effects of the adversary and we stand free, serenity at play, peace
of mind realized.
