‘Look at a tree, a flower, a plant.

Let your awareness rest upon it.

How still they are, how deeply rooted in Being.

Allow nature to teach you stillness.

When you look at a tree and perceive its stillness,

you become still yourself.

You connect with it at a very deep level.

You feel a oneness with whatever you perceive

in and through stillness.

Feeling the oneness of yourself with all things

is true love.’

Eckhart Tolle

If we are pure, we are clean. Then our soul's light can shine through our own mind and we can be creative and beautiful. The real strength, the real beauty, is that of the soul which should not be blocked by the darkness of the mind.

QU: What is purity?

YOGI BHAJAN: Purity is just like a clean house. It makes you feel good. It's the conscious cleanliness, it is the ethics, it is the morals, it is the honesty, it's the commitment. It's a lot of things.
