“Muddy water, let stand, becomes clear.” — Lao Tzu

In each body resides a self.

But the self is many selves, as each emotional states is a unique self.

The selves are like the grains of sand in a muddy pond, the mind.

They preclude us from seeing what’s within the pond and reflections without the pond.

To see clearly within and without, the selves need to settle at pond’s bottom.

This allows the many selves to turn into one.

This is the purpose of meditation.
