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.
Learn from the purity of nature.
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.
