The Clarity of the Original Mind

When dye is mixed with clear water, it takes on that colour. But whenever we separate the two out, then the water returns to its original clarity. So too, our original mind is clean and pure, but when it gets mixed with defilement, it becomes dirty and dark. But the defilements and the mind are two separate things, so it is possible to extract them and realise this state of inner purity and clarity.
