Cure for Materialism

One of the only cures for materialism is the cleaning of the six senses (eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind.) If the senses are clogged, one’s view of things are shifted. The more they are shifted, the more polluted the senses become. This creates confusion in the world, and that is the greatest evil of all evils. Clean the heart, open the six senses and let them serve without limitation, and our whole soul will shine. To purify ourselves, we must break away all external defilements, remove all obstacles from our path, separate ourselves from affliction, and refrain from negative thoughts. This will require a clear state of mind. Such purification allows us to return to the beginning, where all is fresh, bright, and we will see once again the world’s scintillating beauty. We will also notice that we are all brothers and sisters who should walk the path of peace together, hand in hand. If we continue to our path, nothing else will matter. When we lose our desire for things that do not matter, we will be free.
