Importance of taking an extra bath...

-


After a long time of three months, you came back to your home in the dead of night. Your shoulders are paining because of the luggage which you were carrying all the way. Then, your mother was treating you like a winning soldier, serving you hot food even at so late in night and making efforts to comfortable you. After having food you go to bed and you pray to God for your mother’s well-being. On next day, one after another you missed all your mother’s calls for waking up. Then somehow you got up late at 11 o'clock and your eyes heavy. Within the few seconds of yours rising from the blanket your mother said “get up and take bath”. ouch!!!

Sorry! for the concocted story. The whole point is to draw your attention to having bath, in which I know I have failed heavily. No worries… So, why we are always emphasized to take bath?

“I do not need to take bath. I am not sweating. My clothes are not smelling. I will work with DEO.” 
No, this will not work.

“One purpose of bathing is for personal hygiene. It is a means of achieving cleanliness by washing away dead skin cells, dirt, and soil and as a preventative measure to reduce the incidence and spread of disease.” That’s all I found in the top-most SEOed article on Google.


From another angle of view, for Vedic times we take bath not only for personal hygiene but also for elevation of our mode of nature. Every animal in this manifestation is controlled by three modes of nature, they are:
l mode of goodness,
l  mode of passion and
l  mode of ignorance.

In Bhagvad Gita’s third verse of seventeenth chapter, it is written that “according to one's existence under the various modes of nature, one evolves a particular kind of faith. The living being is said to be of a particular faith according to the modes he has acquired.” 

Mode of ignorance is the lowest mode of nature in which one’s intelligence is deluded by demonic qualities, due to which he/she take decisions in improper knowledge or without knowledge. Also sleeping is an activity which falls in this category of modes. Thus after sleep, to elevate our mode we should take bath. Because when one is in mode of goodness, he/she is in knowledge and could take right decisions. In this mode his/her intelligence is less or not deluded by the evils qualities like anger, enmity, pride, lust, harshness,etc. Waking up early in the morning also helps us to be in mode of goodness

So, to elevate our mode of nature further we should take another bath besides water bath. And that extra bath is the bath of self-realization. In this bath we should try to establish our relationship with one and all, relationship with God. we can do this through many ways like meditation, reciting hymns, chanting, reading, singing prayers and many more.



Also this extra bath elevates our consciousness as it helps us to understand that god is the supreme and everyone is his child. Thus many of our questions like,
  •  Why should I have hatred for my brother who is from border-sharing country? ,
  • Why should I hurt my animal siblings? or 
  • Why should I feel alone when I have so many loving brothers and my father?
 are solved .

So, I hope this extra bath may prove be beneficial for you and next time when you meet your friend, you ask the same question “aaj nahaya hai kya?” but this time you mean the self-realization bath....
