The goal of meditation is to develop clarity-like qualities of the mind. This means being transparent and clear to the senses. This state allows for a sense of freedom from indistinctness. Clarity is also the quality of being able to see through smoke. It is possible to achieve this state of clarity, but it takes practice.

Several methods are used to cultivate clarity-like qualities. One of the most common methods is mindfulness meditation. It is a practice that aims to dissolve the winds that cause mental confusion. By focusing on the central channel, one can experience an uncluttered and luminous clarity. This state of awareness is free from the duality of subject and object and is linked to nonconceptual pristine awareness.
