Poison bearing insects will be at home only in dark, dirty places. No snake or scorpion or any other poisonous insect will enter a room that is kept scrupulously clean. So too, the sacred wisdom cannot enter hearts which are dark and dirty. Instead, poisonous breeds like anger will find these hearts as congenial resorts. The sublime significance of Vidya or Higher Learning can be grasped by one, when the mind is pure. It can be communicated to one only when the pure mind sheds its revealing light.
-Divine Discourse, Vidya Vahini.
