Peace is necessary for all; without peace and an increasing purity, even if one opens, one cannot receive perfectly all that comes down through the opening. Light too is necessary for all—without light one cannot take full advantage of all that comes down. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/peace-the-basis-of-the-sadhana#p2</ref>
= Symbols of Purity =
'''Water'''
The water is the symbol of the power of purification and no hostile being or force can resist this power handled with goodwill and sincerity. <ref> http://incarnateword.in/cwm/12/arts#p151 </ref>
'''Frankincense'''
Frankincense: purification of the vital. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/15/christmas-messages#p51</ref>
'''Agni '''
Agni: the flame of purification which must precede all contact with the invisible worlds. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/will#p18</ref>
If you had understood and reacted in the right way, you would have passed the test and got rid not only of this special difficulty but probably of this hostile's influence altogether. But you failed and got possessed. And only one thing was left to me to do, it was to flood you with the pure light, the white flame of purification to chase from inside you the intruder. It is what you took probably for a cut in our relations, a wall of separation between us; there was nothing of the kind; I was inside you, penetrating you as usual, but in the form of this supreme purity which is so foreign to all that is anti-divine or even to all ordinary human movement. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/15/adverse-forces#p35</ref>
No wall at all—only the pure light, the white flame of purification penetrating right through, from outside inside, from inside outside. <ref> http://incarnateword.in/cwm/15/adverse-forces#p37 </ref>
The fire is always the fire of purification—it is very red when it is acting on the vital; when the vital no longer covers the psychic, then the rose colour of the psychic comes out more and more. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/sun-moon-star-fire#p38</ref>
It is the purification of the physical that is usually indicated in the symbol of burning. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/sun-moon-star-fire#p39</ref>
'''Lamb'''
It is a lamb, which means "purity". <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/15/symbols#p13</ref>
'''White'''
White indicates a force of purity. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/colours#p13</ref>
