Purity
The more a person is freed from lust, anger and greed, the more his
existence becomes pure. Then he can follow the rules and regula-
tions enjoined in the Vedic literature. By following the regulative
principles of human life, one gradually raises himself to the
platform of spiritual realization. - BG 16:22, purport -
When one’s heart is cleared of all nonsense, then one can under-
stand what God is. - BG 9:2, purport -
In the Vedas the Supreme Lord is accepted as
the purest of the pure. One who understands that
Krishna is the purest of the pure can become purified
from all sinful activities. One cannot be disinfected
from sinful activities unless he surrenders
unto the Supreme Lord. - BG 10:12-13, purport -
