Saucha

Sanskrit Name:
Śauca
Devanagari:
शौच

Short Summary

Purity and clarity of body, mind, and environment — inside reflects outside.

Full Description

*Saucha* is the art of keeping the vessel clear so light can shine through. In the Tantric understanding, this is not about sterile perfection, but about removing what clouds the natural radiance of consciousness. Cleansing the body, clearing the mind, and tending your space are all Saucha in action.

Try this: Clear one small space around you — a desk, a corner — and notice how your mind feels lighter.
