<span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">Purity means freedom from soil or mixture. The divine Purity is that in which there is no mixture of the turbid ignorant movements of the lower nature. Ordinarily purity is used to mean (in the common language) freedom from vital passion and impulse. <ref> http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/purity#p14 </ref></span>
<span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">This is purity, to accept no other influence but only the influence of the Divine. <ref> http://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/purity#p2 </ref></span>
<span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">If one lives only for the Divine and by the Divine, there follows a perfect purity.</span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#0066cc;"><ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/purity#p5</ref></span> <span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">On earth, true purity is to think as the Divine thinks, to will as the Divine wills, to feel as the Divine feels. <ref> http://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/purity#p3 </ref></span>
<span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">Sri Aurobindo does not use the word purity in the ordinary moral sense. For him, "purity" means "exclusively under the influence of the Divine", expressing only the Divine. <ref> http://incarnateword.in/cwm/10/aphorism-282#p2 </ref></span>
