Meditation trains the mind to look within, to discover the Self. This is facilitated by an ancient yogic technique called pranahuti or transmission. Starting the day with meditation brings a different quality to the whole day.
The practice of cleaning in the evening removes impressions and complexities - the impediments on our inner journey - in much the same way that taking a bath cleans the body. Cleaning results in lightness of being and simplicity.
Prayer creates an attitude of wonder and acceptance, and deepens our inner awareness of the Self.
