 Don't waste your time in spuriously washing your clothes; scrubbing the surplus dirt adhering to your fingers for hours on the trot, 

For if you really had the urge to clean something; first clean your mind, heart and life instead. 
 
Don't waste your time in vigorously shampooing your hair; applying sandalwood balm all across your fatigued body, 
For if you really had the urge to clean something; first clean your mind, heart and life instead. 
 
Don't waste your time in evacuating out the last chunk of dirt imprisoned in the house; dismantling the mountain of obnoxious cobwebs suspended solitarily from the ceiling, 
For if you really had the urge to clean something; first clean your mind, heart and life instead. 
 
Don't waste your time in polishing your shoes till they brilliantly shone; commanding the poor slave every instant to annihilate even the faintest trace of your footprints, 
For if you really had the urge to clean something; first clean your mind, heart and life instead. 
 
Don't waste your time in soaking the table covers in stringent antiseptic; brushing your apron for indefatigable weeks to suck the non existent odor, 
For if you really had the urge to clean something; first clean your mind, heart and life instead. 
 
Don't waste your time in consulting the most prominent of skin specialists; gobbling a battalion of potent vitamins to impart your skin with that immortal glow; you kept dreaming off all night and day, 
For if you really had the urge to clean something; first clean your mind, heart and life instead. 
 
Don't waste your time in rubbing your tongue tenaciously with the serrated stick for marathon minutes at dawn; profusely spraying mammoth bottles of scent into the corridors of your mouth, 
For if you really had the urge to clean something; first clean your mind, heart and life instead. 
 
 
Don't waste your time in sprinkling bucket full of water to make the windows of your house shine; sucking the dainty river of its precious liquid in order to make your dwelling a darling to sight, 
For if you really had the urge to clean something; first clean your mind, heart and life instead. 
 
Don't waste your time in plucking out the filth between your teeth using the most delectable of ivory toothpick; inundating your armpits with tantalizing perfume every time you wanted to impress upon the woman of your dreams, 
For if you really had the urge to clean something; first clean your mind, heart and life instead. 
 
Don't waste your time in vehemently brushing the roads which led to the temple; licking every step that led to the idol of the Omniscient Creator; for in the first place you'd never be successful; as there was not one path; but irrefutably every lane you tread on; led to the Almighty Lord, 
And indeed if you really had the urge to please God; clean something; then first and foremost clean your mind, heart and life instead.
