Fasting for the soul

Meditate. Think of it as fasting for the soul.

You fast the body to clear out the junk and let it reset. Meditation does the same for the mind — you stop feeding it, the noise settles, and what’s underneath becomes visible.

It washes the junk out of your head, and the joy underneath becomes visible — the joy that is the substance of being itself.

Once you’ve cleared the junk — you start to notice that all the wise people, in all the books, have been pointing at the same thing.
