When sambar (lentil soup) is cooked in a copper vessel, however fresh and fine the ingredients, the result is a highly poisonous stuff. Similarly, though sadhana may be done with the most meticulous attention and care, if the intentions and attitudes are impure, no progress can be achieved. I wish to emphasize that purity of the heart, the mind and the consciousness is more important for progress than even meditation and prayer. Purity alone can convince you of the Divine within you, of the Kshethrajna (indweller) immanent in this kshethra (body). Love all, adore all, serve all. That is the sadhana of worship to win purity and earn Grace.
- Divine Discourse, April 2nd, 1984.
