Our scriptures, saints alike put forth devotional activities as a cleaning mechanism of the mind. They are often compared to the mirror with lot of dirt which makes us see the reflection clearly. When it is cleaned the images are clearly evident. Mind also is like this.
They further say that the dirts of the mind, which are called 'Arishtavargas',
Kama: Desire or lust
Krodha: Anger,
Lobha: Greed
Mada: Ego
Moha: Attachment
Matsarya: Jealousy
Alasya: Laziness
which make us not see clearly about jiva, fellow living beings, jagat, the world around us and iswara, the god principle, who is the jagat karanam.
