Query: Gaining
Purity... What does gaining Purity meant in spiritual world!
Kaivalya
Jnani:
Traveling the path of absolute truthfulness makes one pure. While
traveling on the spiritual path as we remove the dross within... we become purer by the day. Taking control
of the five senses and the mind gives us absolute purity. Having controlled the five senses and the mind one
reaches the stage of Nirvikalpa Samadhi.
One finally gains enlightenment in the end. Walking the path of absolute
truthfulness is difficult in the present world full of wanton desires and materialistic riches... but not
unachievable!
We also need to follow the path of Neti (not this, not this) as preached
and advocated by Maharishi Ramana. Practicing absolute celibacy also helps become purer.
Invoking positive thoughts all the time is a sure shot method for gaining
absolute purity at the earliest. A multitude of thoughts pass our brain every second. As we choose... So is
the flow of thoughts! Developing a positive attitude towards life makes one invoke positive thoughts all the
time. This finally results in our getting purer.
Gaining control of the five senses and the mind is the most essential
ingredient for becoming pure. God Almighty destined an earthly journey of 12.1 million years for obtaining
absolute purity... the earlier we start the better!
