Life is hard for the modest one who seeks purity, who is detached, unassuming and whose judgment is correct. <ref> http://incarnateword.in/cwm/03/impurity#p12 </ref>

~~Purity must be our aim, but not the purity of a void or of a bleak and rigid coldness. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/23/the-master-of-the-work#p7</ref>~~

There was a third thing?... Yes, you must not cherish the illusion that if you want to follow the straight path, if you are modest, if you seek purity, if you are disinterested, if you want to lead a solitary existence and have a clear judgment, things will become easy.... It is quite the contrary! When you begin to advance towards inner and outer perfection, the difficulties start at the same time. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/03/impurity#p29</ref>

Very often the earlier stage of the sadhana is successful, because there is an opening of the mind to first workings of the Force—afterwards the lower vital consciousness and the physical rise up and if these are not ready or inclined for the sadhana, it ceases. The sadhaka has first to purify and open them and call in the Force to work there and make all ready until he can bring the true consciousness and experience there. Yoga implies a long and difficult work and one must be ready to accept the necessity of years of preparation and purification and increasing consecration before the greater results can come. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/purity#p7</ref>

~~No protection, no Grace can save those who refuse the indispensable purification. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/08/15-august-1956#p6</ref>~~

With the inner liberation, with a total sincerity and perfect purity, all suffering will disappear, because it will no longer be necessary for the progress of the consciousness towards its final goal. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/03/the-fool#p21</ref>
