=How to Cultivate Freedom?=

Purification is throwing away of limiting, binding, obscuring imperfections and confusions of our outer being: one must purify the physical, vital and the mental instruments from desire, attachment, passion, ignorance and ego sense <ref>http://incarnateword.in /cwsa/24/the-liberation-of-the-spirit#p1</ref> not by forceful suppression or rejection but conscious detachment and developing equality sense.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/food #p1</ref> Each time we attempt to purify the outer nature, we allow the inner being to reveal more of itself, to become free and open to the higher consciousness above. <ref>http:// incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/the-psychic-and-spiritual-realisations#p15</ref>

The physical is the slave of certain forces which create a habit and drive it through the mechanical force of the habit. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/difficulties-of-the-physical- nature#p80</ref>
