On earth, true purity is to think as the Divine thinks, to will as the Divine wills, to feel as the Divine feels. <ref> http://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/purity#p3 </ref>

~~== Buddhist's view ==~~

That was the wisdom of the Buddha who spoke of "the Middle Way": neither too much of this nor too much of that, neither falling into this nor falling into that—a little of everything and a balanced way... but pure. Purity and sincerity are the same thing. <ref> http://incarnateword.in/cwm/10/aphorism-103-104-105-106-107#p77 </ref>

So too the word "impurity". Pure, as it is understood morally, has not at all the meaning it is given in a truly spiritual teaching; and particularly from the Buddhist standpoint, purity is absence of ignorance, as I have already told you last time, and ignorance means ignoring the inner law, the truth of the being. And loyalty means not to take the illusion for the reality, the changing and fluctuating appearances for the inner and real permanence of the being. <ref> http://incarnateword.in/cwm/03/conjugate-verses#p62 </ref>

== Impurities ==

We are the deforming intermediary between the purity of the animal and the divine purity of the gods. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/15/19-july-1958#p13</ref>
