PurityThis is purity, to accept no other influence but only the influence of the Divine.
THE MOTHER
One is truly perfectly pure only when the whole being, in all its elements and all its movements, adheres fully and exclusively to the Divine Will. That is total purity. It does not depend on any moral or social law, any mental convention of any kind. It depends exclusively on this: when all the elements and all the movements of the being adhere exclusively and totally to the Divine Will.
THE MOTHER
What I call purity, the true purity, is not all those things that morality teaches: it is non-ego. There must be nothing but Him. Him not only because we have given Him everything and consecrated ourselves totally to Him (that is not enough), but Him because He has taken total possession of the human instrument.
THE MOTHER
True purity has a lovely fragrance.
