= What is Purity and Purification =
'''Purity'''
[[FilePurity 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:Purif 1//incarnateword.png|center|1000px]]in/cwsa/29/purity#p14 </ref>
This is purity, to accept no other influence but only the influence of the Divine. <ref> http://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/purity#p2 </ref>
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>
[[FileAs 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. 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:Purif 2//incarnateword.png|center|1000px]]in/cwm/10/aphorism-69#p8</ref>
'''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 and Traditional Yoga'''
<div style="color:#000000;">From a yogic perspective, purification is of utmost importance . All yoga proceeds in its methods by three principles of purity also comes through when one sees how with inner liberationpractice - purification, total sincerity concentration and perfect purity, all sufferings ends because they will no longer be required for the progress of consciousnessconsummation. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/23/hathayoga#p4</divref>
== Purification 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 Yoga ==/cwsa/23/the-purified-understanding#p3</ref>

== '''Purification of the Mental Being == <span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">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.</span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;"> </span>'''

<div style="color:#000000;">It is better to keep '''Purification of the thoughts fixed on purity, light and peace that one wants to acquire, instead of thinking too much about one’s impurities.</div>Vital Being'''
== The first step in purification is to rid the prana of desire and turn the vital being from dominant power to obedient instrument of free mind. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/24/purification-the-lower-mentality#p7</ref> Purification of the Vital Being ==experience means to make it sincere and motiveless (i.e. to take away motives of ambition and vanity of desires and power). <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/07/12-january-1955#p34</ref>
<span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">The first step in most important thing for purification is to rid the prana of desire and turn the vital being heart is absolute sincerity - no pretence with oneself, no concealment from dominant power the Divine or oneself, a straight look at oneself, a straight will to obedient instrument of free mindmake them straight.</spanref><span style="background-colorhttp:transparent;color:#000000;"> </span><span style="background/incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/the-danger-color:transparent;color:#000000;">Purification of experience means to make it sincere -the-ego-and motiveless (i.e. to take away motives -the-need-of ambition and vanity of desires and power). -purification#p42</spanref>
<span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">The most important thing for purification 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 heart is absolute sincerity work of purification. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/07/span><span style="background30-march-color:transparent;color:1955#000000;">- no pretence with oneself, no concealment from the Divine or oneself, a straight look at oneself, a straight will to make them straight.p38</spanref>
'''Release from Ego'''
<div style="color:#000000The ego is by its nature a smallness of being;">If you are in confusionit brings contraction of the consciousness and with the contraction limitation of knowledge, disabling ignorance, if there is —confinement and a vital upsurgediminution 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 fact walls of compelling yourself to put ego. The ego must either disappear in impersonality or fuse into a larger I: it on paper already quietens you, it begins must fuse into the wider cosmic “I” which comprehends all these smaller selves or the work transcendent of purificationwhich even the cosmic self is a diminished image.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/23/the-release-from-the-ego#p2</divref>
== '''Integral Purification =='''
<div style="color:#000000;">Purification to be effective must be integral. It must take along all parts of being. For instance, Purification of understanding shall open the door of Truth but it cannot happen if no purification of other members of the being has been initiated. Love is the purifier of the heart, however, this heart’s love of man may lead to distortion and exaggeration in feelings, actions and knowledge which have to be corrected and prevented by purification of understanding. Purification of understanding is the most potent cleanser of the turbid and disordered being.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/23/the-purified-understanding#p3</divref>
