i think it is time to discuss the above stanza

if you think no, it is not the time

then i will accept it

having a fruitful discussion or not depends on your liking

we can start from the first line first

and

then can go to other lines

Avoid all unskillful thoughts words and deeds
Develop all skillful thoughts words and deeds
Cleanse the mind
This is all Buddhas Teaching

So do you wish to discuss 'the above stanza' or Right Effort?

One is specific to content, the other is subject to personal interpretation.

@upekka said "Cleanse the mind"

Does this mean getting rid of the defilements or taints?

@upekka. I have heard it put this way. 1. Cease to do evil. 2. Learn to do good. 3. Purify your mind accordingly. 4. This is the entire teaching of the Buddhas.
