What Is ‘Clean Communication’?

 With the self covered by the clouds of so many external influences and many
of its own negative beliefs and past experiences, the self is normally
unclear about its own self. *The light of spiritual knowledge brings clarity
to the self, about the self*. *This helps me to communicate with others much
more clearly than when I am not sure or clear about what is going on inside
me.* There is a direct connection between the quality of subtle activities
in the form of *thoughts* and *feelings* going on inside me and the quality
of my interaction and communication with others.
Very importantly, relationships are also connected with *attitude* and *
vision*. Sometimes, I may feel I have said and done the right things to
someone, yet still someone is not behaving towards me as I would wish. At
such times I need to check my attitude towards that person and the vision
with which I am seeing them. I may find inside a slight feeling of
disapproval towards that person, a feeling of discomfort, a resistance to
something in their personality. Neither of us may be conscious of it, but my
negative feeling casts a shadow on the other person. They are not receiving
the acceptance or respect from me, that they should (on a subtle level),
although externally I may be showing them a lot of respect. This subtle lack
of acceptance and respect from my end influences their ability to hear me
clearly (on a subtle level), and the way they behave towards me. *The
practice of meditation enables me to clean out my thoughts, feelings,
attitudes and vision, ensuring that what I share with others on a physical
and on a subtle level is positive.* Then it is much easier for me to connect
with others and for others to connect with me in a positive way. This is
called *‘Clean Communication’*.
