A way of purifying the mind is by way of breathing.
It is very interesting for an Eastern person to see how sometimes
in the West, in their inventions, people unconsciously apply
the principles of the mystical realms. They have got a machine
that sweeps carpets while sucking up the dust. This is the same
system inside out. The proper way of breathing sucks up the
dust from the mind and ejects it. The scientist goes so far
as to say that a person exhales carbon dioxide; the bad gases
are thrown out of the body by exhaling. The mystic goes further,
saying it is not only from the body, but from the mind also.
If one knew how to remove impurities, one could remove more
than one would imagine. Impurities of mind can be thrown out
by the right way of breathing. That is why mystics combine breathing
with posture. Posture helps the stilling of mind, breathing
helps the cleansing of mind. These two go together.
