A diamond is still a diamond, even when it is covered with dirt.
The soul is like a diamond, a precious living being. Even covered with dirt from my journey through time, I am still a sparkling being of light. As I mature spiritually, I begin to understand the difference between rust and alloy and how to manage their removal. Rust is created due to the interaction with the external environment, forming a thin layer over the soul. A regular cleaning of the surface of my mind will remove the rust. However alloy is deeper, rooted in my intentions being corrupted over time. The fire of sincere self-examination and Divine love is required to remove alloy from the soul. Today let me sparkle.
