Quote: Forehead is like a wall and I have white washed it.  Only when the house is cleaned up, finally one will take up whitewashing of the walls.  My house [body and mind] are clean. So I am telling people that I have whitewashed my wall since the house is already pure and clean.  I think your house [body and mind] are not yet clean.  So you are yet to whitewash your walls.
