"Purity is light. Not just an ordinary light, but a transcendental light.

In deep meditation we see nothing but purity.
In order to go beyond ideas to direct realization, it's essential to have a great deal of purity.
Unless you have a great deal of purity, it's difficult to retain the higher light.
Greed, fear, lust, hate, jealousy, these are part of reality too … bundles of consciousness wrapped tightly, barbs on which you can injure yourself, volatile energies that serve as separations between yourself and perfect stillness.
Purity means lack of hatred, jealousy, fear, greed and lust – the absence of anything that can stain consciousness.

There is only one prayer and that is prayer for light, for purity, for perfection.
Your life will be joyful and complete when you have a pure heart and your motives are unsullied.
To think that fulfilling yourself in this world will create eternal fulfillment is absurd. But we feel this way because we lack purity.
Seek to advance your fortunes in this world. Set up a strong base so that you can practice your spirituality and be of service to others. This is purity to.
To run away from life and desire is impossible because you are life and you have desire. Accept that this is part of your physical condition and see that these aspects are not really indigenous to what you are.
Ego is impurity. Be selfless. Consecrate and dedicate your life to perfection.
Purity is receptivity, the ability to sit and wait patiently, for as long as necessary, for the coming of the light.
When the mind is not only silent -- but that part of the mind that could become conscious that the mind is silent dissolves in light – then we see and feel purity. We become it, the purity of the eternal light.
The transcendental light permeates your being and washes away impurity. All those different selves which are limited and binding and hurting are washed away.
Purity is also developed in action. Purity is developed when we love.
Spend time with spiritual friends, those who seek light. Purity is gained through strength.
Purity is developed through caring. You need to care about light and the matters of light, truth, religion and spirituality.
As you engage your mind in the scriptures, your mind will become pure.
The scriptures recommend love and service to the enlightened to develop purity.
Search this world and find that being who you feel has the greatest light and become their apprentice.

Feel that your body is like a bundle of flowers. When someone gives you flowers you enjoy their beauty, their purity. But you realize that, one day, the flowers will wither and fade.
The body will blossom and fade, but you will remain after this body of yours has gone away. This knowledge allows you to love the body without attachment. Thus, the body becomes absolutely pure.
As you learn to accept that the body is transitory, as you watch it with love, but without attachment, the body will develop purity.
As you become more conscious of your body as eternity, a sense of ease, a fullness beyond description occurs.
Avoid the company of the wicked, those who would do injury to you or to others. Like a disease their energy is something you can catch.
Your own nature is pure, spotless, and pristine. Through association we drag ourselves down or we can raise ourselves up.
To become pure is not difficult. Make the choices that will lead you to freedom and liberation -- not enslavement to the wills, actions and desires of others.
Use your mind to discriminate. Choose to advance yourself, to bring more purity into your being.
Purity is something that can be consciously developed. Expect to have impure moments, thoughts, and ideas. One day they will go away, and then there will be happiness.
Become conscious of what you think during the day. A negative thought will enter you. At first it will be vague, innocuous, but then it will root in your consciousness and soon it will be impossible to eradicate.
Don't condemn yourself – that only increases the hold of impurity. Accept your limitations but know that you're working towards changing them.
Be willing to laugh at your humanness and at your divinity.
Don't be offended by your lack of purity. Purity is a seed that will grow and develop."
