Well, if I had to explain it, I would probably phrase it like the original. However, it means that while everything around you may be corrupted (people, politics, religion, your environment in general), the only thing YOU have control of is your own mind. Your mind is your responsibility. He's basically saying that the ability to think for yourself is sacred. This means that if you continue to study Emerson, you may want to start figuring out his quotes on your own for them to mean anything.

I think it means something like, the integrity of your owm mind is something sacred, that you have to protect. You cannot let it become contaminated.
