Purification—rejecting from one's nature all that is egoistic or of the nature of rajasic desire. <ref> http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/purity#p2 </ref>
 
An integral purification is a long and slow labour. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/17/21-june-1935#p2</ref>
All purification is a release, a delivery; for it is a throwing away of limiting, binding, obscuring imperfections and confusions: purification from desire brings the freedom of the psychic prana, purification from wrong emotions and troubling reactions the freedom of the heart, purification from the obscuring limited thought of the sense mind the freedom of the intelligence, purification from mere intellectuality the freedom of the gnosis. But all this is an instrumental liberation. The freedom of the soul, mukti, is of a larger and more essential character; it is an opening out of mortal limitation into the illimitable immortality of the Spirit. <ref> http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/24/the-liberation-of-the-spirit#p1 </ref>
