Cleanliness is next to godliness.

One of my relative is very particular about cleanliness and organised living. I have noticed many a times, he can easily find dust and dirts where a normal human being unable to even think of. He has this practice since many years and today he is one of the richest and wealth person in our community. Cleanliness always considered to be a mindful way of living. Cleanliness is crucial for both physical and mental well-being. A clean and organized environment can reduce stress, improve mood, and promote a sense of calm and well-being. This further results in creating wealth and prosperity. Many people unable to realize the importance of cleanliness and ends up creating chaos in their life. But does that mean wealth makes a person cleanliness focus or ir it vice versa.?

There are many practices which shoes us that cleanliness helps a person to be successfull. The best example to share is the Festival of #Diwali. During this festival, I guess every home in India were cleaned and washed by the household member. Even many people used to paint their homes during this festival. Cleaning is seen as a way to shed negativity and embrace positive energy.

Wealth starts with cleanliness.

People clean their homes on Diwali to symbolically remove negativity and welcome positive energy, prosperity, and the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi. It's a tradition rooted in Hindu culture, where a clean and well-lit home is considered auspicious and welcoming to Lakshmi - the deity of wealth and prosperity. Diwali is the time when Goddess Lakshmi is believed to visit homes. Cleaning is a way to prepare the home as a sacred space for her arrival, symbolizing the invitation of wealth, peace, and prosperity. Not only this, every shopkeeper in India used to clean their surrounding before begining their day activity. Be it a big store or a small cart on a street or roadside kiosks. They broom, clean, sprinkle dome water, lit an incense sticks to worship and then began their usual day to day work. In other words they too prefer a clean surrounding for a good business. There is no discrimination on the earning ground and everybody clean their area of work. Even we use to do at our work station. And also we follow clean desktop policy for organised way or working.

Cleanliness leads to success and everyone aims at maintaing their best level of cleanliness in their surrounding as much as possible. Many people assume that money influence a person approach towards cleanliness. However, in my opinion money may increases the person standard of living it has nothing to do with their higher level of cleanliness.

Wealth & Cleanliness

Money can influence a person's cleanliness, but it's not the sole determinant. Wealth provides access to cleaning supplies, appliances (like washing machines and dishwashers), and the ability to afford professional cleaning services, making it easier to maintain a clean environment. People with more money may have more time to dedicate to cleaning or can afford to outsource cleaning tasks, freeing up their time for other activities. However, all these does not guarantee cleanliness. Personal habits, values, and individual priorities play a significant role too.

Cleanliness is a matter of personal habits, values, and priorities. Some individuals may prioritize cleanliness regardless of their wealth, while others may not, regardless of their financial situation. Even with resources, a lack of motivation or a busy lifestyle can lead to a neglect of cleanliness. Conversely, some individuals with limited resources may still maintain a high level of cleanliness through diligent effort and resourcefulness.

The saying "Cleanliness is next to Godliness" emphasizes the importance of cleanliness as a virtue, suggesting that maintaining a clean and tidy environment, both physically and mentally, is akin to spiritual devotion and purity. It implies that cleanliness contributes to a healthy, moral, and spiritually uplifting life. There by introducing us to more success and growth in life. The other perspective to look into this is that cleanliness leads to good health and ultimately health is the real wealth.

In good faith - Peace!!
