Your mind is a personal garden of thoughts. Left unkept, it will sprout unwanted elements, which initially disrupt the mind’s harmony, and ultimately dominate its activity. Maintain the peace and harmony of your garden-mind, through meditation, yoga, a pure, humane, and altruistic lifestyle, and approaching other people, animals, and nature in a non-objectifying and non-judgemental way. A newly-emerging weed is immediately visible and easy to eradicate in a well-kept garden. Thus so it is in the mind as well.
