Purity

The sages, united with pure reason, renounce the results of their actions and, liberated from the cycle of birth, they attain a state of bliss.

United with pure reason, one lets go of both good and bad actions. Therefore, embrace yoga, for yoga is skill in action.

Brahman is beyond knowledge and ignorance, virtue and vice, merit and demerit, cleanliness and uncleanliness.

Everything depends upon the mind. The pure mind acquires a new attitude.

Blessed are those who have pure hearts, for they will see God.

Love is selfless and pure when it has no ulterior motives.

Acts of sacrifice, giving, and austerity must not be abandoned — they ought indeed to be performed; sacrifice, giving, and austerity are the purifiers of the wise.

One who is without expectation, pure, capable, impartial, free from distress, and who has given up all personal enterprises — such a devotee of mine is dear to me.

This is the sovereign knowledge, the sovereign secret — supremely purifying, directly perceivable, righteous, very joyful to practice, and imperishable.

But those whose sins have come to an end, who are of righteous conduct — freed from the delusion of dualities, they worship Me with firm resolve.

One who performs action having entrusted all to Brahman and abandoning attachment is not stained by sin — just as a lotus leaf is not touched by water.

There is nothing in this world as purifying as knowledge. One who is perfected through yoga finds that knowledge within oneself in the fullness of time.

One who has not turned from wrong conduct, who is not calm, not collected in mind, not tranquil in heart — such a one cannot attain the Self even by wisdom.

Serenity of mind, gentleness, silence, self-restraint, and purity of inner being — these together are called the austerity of the mind.

Vigour, forbearance, fortitude, purity, absence of malice, and absence of excessive pride — these belong to one born to divine endowment, O Bharata.

Your true nature is pure existence, consciousness, and bliss. The physical body is just an illusion.

But one who is wise, ever mindful and pure — that person reaches the final goal from which one is never born again.

Reverence to the gods, twice-born, teachers, and the wise; purity, uprightness, celibacy, and non-violence — these are called the austerity of the body.

A sacrifice performed according to prescribed injunction by those who do not desire its fruit — with the mind resolved that it is simply to be offered — that sacrifice is sattvic.

Those seers attain liberation in Brahman who have cleansed themselves of impurities, severed their doubts, mastered their selves, and rejoice in the welfare of all beings.
