==Purification==
 
Each time there is a purification of the outer nature, it becomes more possible for the inner being to reveal itself, to become free and to open to the higher consciousness above. When this happens several other things happen at the same time. First, one becomes aware of the silent Self above - free, wide, without limits, pure, untroubled by the mental, vital and physical movements, empty of ego and limited personality. Secondly, the Divine Power descends through this silence and freedom of the Self and begins to work in the Adhāra. Thirdly, by this working the inner parts of the being are opened and freed; you are liberated from the limitations of the ordinary personal mind, vital and physical and become aware of a wider consciousness in which you can be more capable of the needed transformation. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/the-psychic-and-spiritual-realisations#p15,p16</ref>
 
Purification of the heart : The turning of it wholly to the Divine, the subjection of the mind and the vital to the control of the inner being, the soul. Always, when the soul is in front, one gets the right guidance from within as to what is to be done, what avoided, what is the wrong thing or true thing in thought, feeling, action. But this inner intimation emerges in proportion as the consciousness grows more and more pure. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/the-danger-of-the-ego-and-the-need-of-purification#p39</ref>
 
The most important thing for this purification of the heart is an absolute sincerity. No pretence with oneself, no concealment from the Divine, or oneself, or the Guru, a straight look at one’s movements, a straight will to make them straight. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/the-danger-of-the-ego-and-the-need-of-purification#p42</ref>
==Purity==
==Purple==Purity is to accept no other influence but only the influence of the Divine. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/purity#p12</ref> Purity is more a condition than a substance. Peace helps to purity - since in peace disturbing influences cease and the essence of purity is to respond only to the Divine Influence and not to have affinity with other movements. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/purity#p13</ref> The Divine Purity is that in which there is no mixture of the turbid ignorant movements of the lower nature. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/purity#p14</ref> The Divine Purity is a more wide and all-embracing experience than the psychic. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/purity#p15</ref>
==Purusha==
An essential being supporting the play of Prakriti; <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/28/the-gods#p16</ref> Conscious Soul. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/23/the-passive-and-the-active-brahman#p1</ref> Purusha is the conscious Being who supports all the action of Nature. There is no fixed place, but as the central being he usually stands above the adhar—he becomes also the mental, vital, physical, psychic being. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/28/the-sankhya-yoga-system#p1</ref> There is one Purusha; its action is according to the position and need of the consciousness at the time. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/28/the-sankhya-yoga-system#p3</ref> Purusha is there on all the planes : there is a mental Purusha, manomaya, leader of the life and body, as the Upanishad puts it, a vital, a physical Purusha; there is the psychic being or Chaitya Purusha which supports and carries all these as it were. One may say that these are projections of the Jivatman put there to uphold Prakriti on the various levels of the being. The Upanishad speaks also of a Supramental and a Bliss Purusha, and if the Supramental and the Bliss Nature were organised in the evolution on earth, we could become aware of them upholding the movements here. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/28/the-jivatman-in-the-integral-yoga#p54</ref> Purusha and Prakriti are separate powers of the being. It is not that Purusha =quiescence and Prakriti =Pyramid==action, so that when all is quiescent there is no Prakriti and when all is action there is no Purusha. When all is active, there is still the Purusha behind the active Nature and when all is quiescent, there is still the Prakriti, but the Prakriti at rest. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/28/the-sankhya-yoga-system#p29</ref>
