The article discusses the perspective offered by Meghna Desai in her book 'Declutter Your Home, Declutter Your Soul'. Instead of viewing spring cleaning as a tedious task, Desai suggests it should be integrated into a broader, yogic lifestyle. She highlights that our external environments mirror our internal states, and therefore, an orderly space can foster mental clarity. The decluttering process should not just target physical possessions but also emotional burdens and outdated habits to create lasting calm and harmony in life. Compassion is key to this transformative practice.
In Hindu thought, our external environment is nothing more than a reflection of our inner state. The relationship works both ways.
Desai focuses on how the practice can be a means of ridding yourself not only of excess possessions but also outdated habits, emotional burdens, and beliefs.
