INFLUENCE OF PURITY

Swami Sivananda

When purity grows in man, he is righteous; he develops devotion to the Lord; knowledge dawns in him. When the mind is pure, there is serenity. Truth is reflected in a serene mind. Purity increases through association with the wise, study of religious books, pure food, repetition of the Lord's name, etc. Purity has the characteristic of effulgence. It is also harmony or goodness. Purity is stainless like the crystal. Purity binds a man by attachment to happiness and temporal and bookish knowledge. Purity is a golden fetter. Passion and inertia are iron fetters. When purity predominates, a man is endowed with discrimination, pure reason and pure understanding. His mind turns away from sensual pleasures. Sublime, divine thoughts fill his mind. When purity predominates, there is clarity or clear vision. There is penetrative insight. The door of intuition is wide open.

Attachment is indicative of the feeling that objective possession brings happiness. This idea has to be removed from the mind. Happiness is not in the objects but in one′s own Atman.

- Swami Sivananda
