My mind went to White

💫🌼🍃🔯   White colour is closely associated with our culture. White colour suits well in religious ceremonies, school functions and important events,

💫🌼🍃🔯   I prefer white because anything can be seen clearly.  Anything that gets dirty quickly will stand out in white. Then it is easy for us to clean it.

💫🌼🍃🔯   It has taught me that it is more important to clean stains on a white background that can be better than to think that the stains are mostly invisible in the dark colours. Same as our mind.

💫🌼🍃🔯   White is also the favourite colour of Lord Saraswathi, my goddess who studies music and all arts. Her sari is white. The sitting lotus flowers is white. Her vehicle, the swan is also white.

💫🌼🍃🔯   White represents clarity. It is said that it indicates stillness and firmness. Since my childhood, my heart has been attached to white because of its simplicity and charm.

💫🌼🍃🔯   That colour white has been associated with many occasions in my life. As I have studied dancing, the Kandiyan Wes Dance costume is also white. The drummers’ kit is also white.

💫🌼🍃🔯   Also, white colour is used a lot for puja processions, perahera ceremonies held at night because it is a colour that can be seen very well at night.

💫🌼🍃🔯   The colour white often evokes ideas of purity, simplicity and cleanliness. 

💫🌼🍃🔯   Virtuous white conveys cleanliness, purity, innocence and perfection. White suggests calm and serenity, it is also refreshing. It purifies, simplifies and provides clarity for the mind.

💫🌼🍃🔯   Generally considered as positive, white is uplifing, offers mood quietness and mental organization.

Thank you…!   💛💛💛
