Cleaning Our Mirror

I was flossing my teeth this morning and some water spots got on the bathroom mirror. I proceeded to clean the mirror off and the thought about the importance of cleaning the mirror on a daily basis. It made me think of the fact that if one did not clean the mirror regularly, that pretty soon one could not see one's reflection in the mirror. It would get spotty, and not give a clear reflection. Just like our mind and body.

Meditating daily would be like cleaning the mind, which in itself is a mirror. Exercising and or doing hatha yoga postures daily would be like cleaning the body, which also reflects how we take care of it, or use it. If we did not do these practices our minds and bodies would get dull and clouded just like a mirror.
