In this manner, the message that our mind and it’s health plays an important role in our secular life had gained more prominence too.

If we look at this stanza, we can catch a glimpse of the optimal state of mental health, which is the goal of every Buddhist.

Imagine ourselves being freed from uncontrollable mental state that is triggered by environment and situation.

A mind that is sorrow freed means no more mental suffering. That is wonderful isn’t it?

from defilements cleansed, from fear liberated

I can only imagine a lightness and purity in being.

Therefore, if we possess all the above qualities, then it is a highest blessings.
