This signifies the power to maintain the cleanliness & purity level of our mind and body. A clean and pure mind remains unaffected by outside circumstances and situations. A clean and pure mind also motivates to maintain the cleanliness of our body.
A state of mind can determined by the outside environment. A royal and disciplined human being will be found to keep his/her surrounding clean, tidy and organized. In the same way, a dirty and unorganized surroundings reflects the same dirty and unorganized state of mind, which is aimless & unfocused.
Detachment from mud:
The petals of lotus have a waxy coating that prevents the muddy water to stay on the petals.
This motivates us to remain with the company of positive, who motivates us & teaches lessons in every step and inspires to move forward, while remaining detached from the negative environment and negative company.

The lotus flower are found to have strong and extensive rooting system that anchors deeply to the mud. As a result this helps to withstand strong currents and disturbances and maintain its tranquility nature.
This motivates us to remain connected to the whole dirty world, helping the needy and motivating others for a better life and in return receive help during life situations and problems.

Lotus flowers rises from a muddy water. It’s roots go deep into the mud, filtering and taking water and nutrients, from the muddy water itself. But still it blooms like a beautiful flower. As if, it is converting the negative to positive, the waste to best.
This characteristic symbolizes the ability to rise above from our different life challenges and negativity successfully, radiating positivity all around.

The lotus flower grows in a very harsh condition viz. muddy and stagnant water where other plants feel difficult to grow. But still this lotus flower not only grows but flourishes only in these harsh conditions, signifying the ability to grow, flourish, remain happy, give motivations to others even in adverse life situations.
Daily Rejuvenation:
A lotus flower closes its petals and submerges under water, to re-emerge and bloom again in the morning. This helps in rejuvenating its energy to again bloom in the next morning.
In the same way it inspires us to remain busy the whole day, giving blessings, happiness and contentment to others and at the end, detaching the self from outside environment to feel bodiless, forgetting past memories and rejuvenating spiritually.

Vicious deeds include acts under the influence of Lust, Anger, Greed, Attachment, Ego, Laziness, Jealousy etc. Most of our problems are due to these vices.
