Sometimes when my sis or someone else asks me what I get out of cleaning, or deleting all the junk from my inbox or anything along those lines... I've never been able to find an adequate answer. It's pretty simple, and I guess that's why it's difficult to understand for people.
I really do believe in karma. The earth is round, and hence, what goes around, does come around. Karma, listening about it, learning about it, etc, brought me in contact with what prayers are. What the power of a prayer is. I've often wondered, not about the daffodils, but yes, about the power prayers weild. And weild, they do.
The most convincing explaination I could come up with was, that when one prayers, i.e., chants... The person creates a positive space around himself. He has positive vibes. The more you do it, the more stronger they become. You can often see and feel a person s state of being when you meet them. Those are the vibes I'm talking about. I dunno about how the "power" works, but then, there really isn't and can't be too much negative stuff around a person who has such a powerful positive space around himself. If that makes any sense at all.
It's the same with cleaning. I do it, so as to cleanse my self. My mind. To remove the clutter. To decrease the chaos. While it is impossible to totally eradicate it, because the theory of existance holds that the amount of chaos is directly proportional to the stability of ourselves and the world, and is hence very much a part of ourlives, this usless chaos needs to be taken out.
You do take your dustbins out every day, right? It's just like that. If you let it be, it'll oveflow, and make your house and life, well to put it eloquently, stink?
The same goes for useless emotions. Strong words I know, useless emotions. No, when I say that, I'm not condemning emotions. In fact, I'm just rubbishing useless emotions. Wondering about what to wear, what's "cool", lame stuff like that. True that, that they might not be lame to other people. In fact, I like them sometimes too...
It's just the excessive stuff that I'd rather do without. Rid yourself of anger, forgive yourself, so things go bad at times - laugh to keep from crying, simble, hurting sometimes is peaceful in itself, 'cuz at the end of it you know your going to heal and be great ( Not, OK, that's a horrible place to be, you know why!).
It's like... I dunno, the other template I was using, is peaceful... this one on the other hand represents my naughty self, hyper self, yada yada. I'm going to stick to this for the season, but it's still the other one that brings a sense of... homecoming? Relief? Relaxation? Sthupit example, but yes, that's the way it is.
All this cleaning, praying, bathing (To think!), walking... brings a sense of tranquility to a person s life, and hence to ones self. You should try it. I'm not talking yoga and all that, that's good if you have the time and inclination. Small stuff... Maybe sitting on the terrace with soft music, a walk after dinner with family, cleaning up, a long hot water bath after that, cooking, you get the point.
May peace be with you!
Yours forever sthupitly.
Hey Hey Hey!
Nope I am never lost!
I sometimes stand back in the shadows, for I am tired. And I am tired now. I need something that I do not want to start seeking.

@feelix: dude. it's been eons. it's nice to have you back.
Yours forever sthupitly.
now wait...you trying to disobey the laws of thermodynamics lady?? whatever happened to the adage that chaos leads to more chaos...
i know, i know...just kidding...i guess i am in the rose-tinted mood these days :)
oh and piss be with you too (did i say something wrong??)
Daug. ****er.
Rose-tinted I'll be damned.
Forgotten the second law of thermo? entropy is directly proportional to stability of a system. Entropy is a measure of the randomness of a system.
Ahem.
Yours forever sthupitly.
aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!! for those who have not been lucky enough for being termed her sistar..learn about sthupit, i'll tell ya..

@Ry: dude. ages, man. and i'm going to ignore the ":-S".
Yours forever sthupitly.
P.S : you no like template?
Peace and positivity are slightly different things according to me. Prayer gets you both though. Removing the clutter surrounding you does take away the negative energy , indirectly bringing in positivity. But peace? I doubt. I tend to have a lot of positivity around me (not that I love cleaning), but I don't think I am at peace with myself!
But yes, a thought very subtlely expressed.
PS: I think I am going to add your link to my blog, it makes an interesting read.
It helps with the peace. It doesn't bring you compelete peace. Nothing can bring you that, but yourself.
Lol, just today I was wondering how people ever survived reading through my posts and actually commented (Sure, that's a word)!!
I'm flattered.
SG.
Just like they read through my posts and survive! [;)]
Oh but yours aren't as insane as mine.
And that, is a compliment.
