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>

'''Purification of the Mental Being'''
'''Integral Purification'''
Purification to be effective must be integral. It must take along all parts of being. For instance, Purification 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</ref>
