{|class="wikitable" style= "background-color: #efefff; width: 100%;"|'''Purity'''
'''Purification''' 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 first necessity on lower nature. Ordinarily purity is used to mean (in the path of Yogacommon language) freedom from vital passion and impulse. <ref> http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/purity#p14 </ref>
= What =This is purity, to accept no other influence but only the influence of the Divine. <ref> http://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/purity#p2 </ref>
'''The Quality of Purity'''If one lives only for the Divine and by the Divine, there follows a perfect purity. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/purity#p5</ref>
As soon as one speaks of purity, we get an image of a saintly moralism amounting to “doing all the right things”. However, purity has nothing to do with righteousness and asceticism. However, purity Purity is simply the quality of the soul and purification the process of taking up the ordinary habitual surface movements of the instruments of the being - vital, mental and physical - and vital movements and turning them towards the Divine. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/10/aphorism-69#p8</ref>
'''The Process of Purification'''
Purification is the removal of all aberrations, disorders, obstructions brought about by the mixed and irregular actions of the energy of the being in our physical, moral and mental system. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/23/hathayoga#p4</ref>
Purification All purification is a release, a delivery; for it is a throwing away of limiting, binding, obscuring imperfections and confusions: purification from desire brings the freedom of the psychic prana, purification from wrong emotions and troubling reactions the freedom of the heart, purification from the obscuring limited thought of the sense mind the freedom of the intelligence, purification from mere intellectuality the freedom of the process gnosis. But all this is an instrumental liberation. The freedom of purifying oneself the soul, mukti, is of ignorance a larger and finding and consecrating to more essential character; it is an opening out of mortal limitation into the truth illimitable immortality of the beingSpirit.<ref> http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/24/the-liberation-of-the-spirit#p1 </ref>
= Why =
 
You must be pure for the love of purity. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/03/impurity#p32</ref>
The world will be made better only in proportion as we make ourselves better. The ills that humanity suffers from - collectively and individually - stem from the errors that lie at the roots of our ignorant nature. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/helping-others-and-the-world#p23</ref> Thus, purification of our nature is central to making the world better.
We are the deforming intermediary between the purity of the animal and divine purity of the gods. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/15/19-july-1958#p13</ref> Thus, the process of purification is central to our evolution.
importance Purification and calm are the first needs in the Yoga. One may have a great wealth of purity also comes through when one sees how with inner liberationexperiences of that kind (worlds, visions, voices etc.) without them, total sincerity but these experiences occurring in an unpurified and perfect purity, all sufferings ends because they will no longer be required for the progress troubled consciousness are usually full of consciousnessdisorder and mixture. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwmcwsa/0330/the-fooldanger-of-the-ego-and-the-need-of-purification#p21p50</ref>

'''Purification and Traditional Yoga''' From a yogic perspective, purification is of utmost importance. All yoga proceeds in its methods by three principles of practice - purification, concentration and consummation. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/23/hathayoga#p4</ref>  The importance of purification also emerges from the Gita and Patanjali’s Yoga-sutras. The Gita sees the darkness of ignorance is the cause of all stumblings and purification through Self-knowledge as the most sovereign purity. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/23/the-purified-understanding#p3</ref>  Patanjali’s Yoga-sutras insists first on a moral purification of the mentality - divided into yamas (self-discipline by which rajasic egoism and it's passion and desires are conquered and quieted) and niyamas (discipline of the mind by regular practice of meditation). <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/23/rajayoga#p5</ref>
= How =
The most effective way for purification for the mental being is to draw back, to stand as the passive witness and observe and know himself and the workings of Nature in the lower, the normal being; but this must be combined, for perfection, with a will to raise the purified nature into the higher spiritual being. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/24/the-action-of-the-divine-shakti#p7</ref>
 
It is better to keep the thoughts fixed on purity, light and peace that one wants to acquire, instead of thinking too much about one’s impurities. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/mistakes-no-torment-worry-or-sadness#p5</ref>
'''Purification of the Vital Being'''
If you are in confusion, if there is a vital upsurge, the fact of compelling yourself to put it on paper already quietens you, it begins the work of purification. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/07/30-march-1955#p38</ref>
 
'''Release from Ego'''
 
The ego is by its nature a smallness of being; it brings contraction of the consciousness and with the contraction limitation of knowledge, disabling ignorance,—confinement and a diminution of power and by that diminution incapacity and weakness,—scission of oneness and by that scission disharmony and failure of sympathy and love and understanding,—inhibition or fragmentation of delight of being and by that fragmentation pain and sorrow. To recover what is lost we must break out of the walls of ego. The ego must either disappear in impersonality or fuse into a larger I: it must fuse into the wider cosmic “I” which comprehends all these smaller selves or the transcendent of which even the cosmic self is a diminished image. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/23/the-release-from-the-ego#p2</ref>
