Changes

A certain amount of purification is necessary before there can be any realisation of the Divine.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/purity#p1</ref>

There are two possibilities, one of purification by personal effort which takes a long time, another by a direct intervention of the Divine Grace which is usually rapid in its action. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/surrender#p78</ref> In both instances, the fire of purification must be lit into which all is thrown with the Divine Name on it.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/23/the-ascent-of-the-sacrifice-ii#p14</ref>

Purification, in integral yoga, is to make oneself a clear mirror in which the divine reality can be reflected, a clear vessel and an unobstructing vessel into which the divine presence and through which the divine influence can be poured. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/23/the-higher-and-the-lower-knowledge#p6</ref> It means a bringing down of the Divine Consciousness static and dynamic into all parts of the being and the entire replacement of the present consciousness by that. Integral purification, in integral yoga, &nbsp;enables perfect reflection of the divine being in ourselves and perfect outpouring of Truth and law in us. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/23/the-synthesis-of-the-systems#p19</ref>
