It cleanses the thought process of what can be called psychic irritants, things like greed, hatred and jealousy, things that keep you snarled up in emotional bondage. It brings the mind to a state of tranquility and awareness, a state of concentration and insight.It is directed to cultivating the mind and faculties so that one can grain the natural unwholesome tendencies and attain freedom from the three unwholesome roots of greed (lobha), hatred (dosa) and delusion (moha) and to attain the Highest Peace (Nibbāna).
