Cleanliness is next to Godliness

All of us are aware that in our city, filthiness is observed on the roads, near housing colonies, around hospitals and even in the parks. All this leads to the breeding of disease carrying insects, which cause people to keep on falling ill, resulting in an overall feeling of despondency in which there is no place for thinking deeply on spiritual matters. In fact, the people quarrel with each other on petty issues, wasting their time.

In contrast, if we see some towns like surat in gujarat and many other in advanced countries, the civic sense of the people living there has ensured all-round cleanliness, so the general mood of the people is uplifted the diseases caused by breeding insects have been drastically reduced. All this ensures that people there can devote more time to spiritual matters, thus ensuring that they come nearer to God. There is more amity between people living in such places, thus proving that cleanliness is really next to Godliness.
