Spring Cleaning ++

This is really the time of the year where many people are painstaking cleaning and clearing their house(s) to prepare for the Chinese Lunar New Year.

I think it's in many cultures to receive a brand new year with a brand new look.

In the new year, there will be many visitations from relatives. The mood is celebratory and certainly you feel good / proud to have a cleaner, newer place to welcome your guests. Nice! :0)

Another point would be, with a cleaner, newer look, many are hoping for a better year.
Erm.. It is with this part that I intend to pen down some thoughts.

HOPE is so important. It will gear us towards our goals ; lift us up in time of sorrow. But HOPE itself, without any "action" comes to practically "nothing". I am plainly suggesting : We know it need not be a better year if we don't progress as a better person ourselves. And becoming a better person can only be achieved with much concerted effort.

If not...
All our "hopings" are apparently so superstitious.
Hence, while we are slowly doing our spring cleaning and making our home a cleaner and newer place to live it, slowly "polish our hearts" at the same time, making a better year ahead more possible.

May the "spring" bounce you to greater heights.

有一位圣者这么说：
你们的年轻是形相肉体上的年轻。
灵性上的年轻，是要不断的充实，不断的提升，使灵性充满生机活跃，永垂不朽。
学问为济世之本，所以人不可不学也。
学则智，不学则愚。
学则治，不学则乱。
观古圣贤圣德大业，未有不由学而成者。
