Importance of Purity

Celibacy (brahmacharya) is simply ๐ฉ๐ซ๐ž๐ฌ๐ž๐ซ๐ฏ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ฅ๐ข๐Ÿ๐ž-๐ž๐ง๐ž๐ซ๐ ๐ฒ within the body. This energy we preserve then naturally transforms into ๐ฌ๐ฉ๐ข๐ซ๐ข๐ญ๐ฎ๐š๐ฅ ๐ฉ๐จ๐ฐ๐ž๐ซ, which helps the soul in many ways to enhance our life-journey. We do not teach 'repression' of desires or 'rejection' of the spouseโ€”it is a vow of purity based on ๐šœ๐š˜๐šž๐š•-๐šŒ๐š˜๐š—๐šœ๐šŒ๐š’๐š˜๐šž๐šœ๐š—๐šŽ๐šœ๐šœ, ๐šœ๐šŽ๐š•๐š-๐š›๐šŽ๐šœ๐š™๐šŽ๐šŒ๐š & ๐šœ๐š˜๐šž๐š•-๐š•๐š˜๐šŸ๐šŽ. We also teach respectful karma, non-violence in thoughts/words/actions, and practical wisdom in relationships.

Purity is the original religion (๐๐ก๐š๐ซ๐ฆ๐š) of the soulโ€”a natural state of ๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™ฃ๐™š๐™ง ๐™˜๐™ก๐™š๐™–๐™ฃ๐™ก๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™š๐™จ๐™จ, ๐™จ๐™š๐™ก๐™›-๐™ง๐™š๐™จ๐™ฅ๐™š๐™˜๐™ฉ & ๐™จ๐™ฅ๐™ž๐™ง๐™ž๐™ฉ๐™ช๐™–๐™ก ๐™จ๐™ฉ๐™ง๐™š๐™ฃ๐™œ๐™ฉ๐™. When I remember โ€œI am a soulโ€ rather than identifying only with the body, I begin to value purity in my ๐•ฅ๐•™๐• ๐•ฆ๐•˜๐•™๐•ฅ๐•ค, ๐•จ๐• ๐•ฃ๐••๐•ค & ๐•š๐•Ÿ๐•ฅ๐•–๐•Ÿ๐•ฅ๐•š๐• ๐•Ÿ๐•ค. This inner purity makes the mind "peaceful" and the intellect "clear"โ€”so decisions are guided by ๐ฐ๐ข๐ฌ๐๐จ๐ฆ rather than impulse. Purity is therefore not just about outer discipline; it is a power that protects me from negativity, reduces wasteful thinking, and helps me remain stable and light, even in challenging situations.

Purity is viewed as essential for establishing a connection (๐˜๐จ๐ ) with the Supreme Soul (ParamAtma/Shiv Baba). Just as electricity cannot flow through a broken wire, the spiritual power of God cannot be fully experienced by an intellect clouded by impurity. Through the practice of ๐‘๐š๐ฃ๐š ๐˜๐จ๐ , a pure mind becomes a clear "mirror" capable of reflecting Godโ€™s qualities, thereby burning away past negative karmas (sanskars). In this context, complete purity is the "key" to transforming from an ordinary human into a ๐๐ข๐ฏ๐ข๐ง๐ž ๐›๐ž๐ข๐ง๐  (like Lakshmi and Narayan), paving the way for the soul's entry into the ๐†๐จ๐ฅ๐๐ž๐ง ๐€๐ ๐ž (๐’๐š๐ญ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ ), a world defined by total harmony and viceless living.

โ€œPurity of the soul is not the absence of flaws, but the presence of truth, kindness, and sincere intention.โ€

โ€œPurity of the soul is not the absence of flaws, but the presence of truth, kindness, and sincere intention.โ€

This quote suggests that a pure soul is not defined by perfection or a life free from mistakes, but by inner honesty and moral clarity. It emphasizes that what truly matters is the authenticity of oneโ€™s intentions, the compassion shown toward others, and the commitment to living truthfully. Purity, in this sense, is an active qualityโ€”something cultivated through conscious choices, humility, and empathyโ€”rather than a passive state of being untouched by error.
