==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>
