Þ Soap & Water

Your nature is divine. What happened along life's way was that delusion covered it up with dust. When your dirty laundry goes to the washerman he doesn't make your clothes white. They are actually white to begin with only dirt has hidden the whiteness. All he does is to bring out the brightness of the clothes. To do this he needs two pure items - soap and water. He cannot manage without either of these. Similarly in the case of the mind and the dirt covering its purity there are two cleansing items needed - the soap of Principle and the water of Practice.
