“The other world the world beyond, is a world of Purity. Man’s opportunities lie in purity. The good life lies in purity. Where there is impurity, it always brings suffering. Disharmony brings suffering too. But harmony, purity, fairness, meekness, abstention and self-restraint, they are the qualities that bring great good.
“I say the world needs conductors of Love, The Divine and reasonable one. Man must be a conductor. Do you know what it means for man to be a conductor? For a man to be a conductor, he must have the faith that a child has. Mothers take their children to pray for rain. One kid took an umbrella in his hand. His mother asked him: ‘Why did you take the umbrella?’ The child replied, ‘Because it will rain.’ The mother said, ‘Maybe it will rain, maybe it will not.’ Now we pray and say: ‘Maybe it will happen, maybe it won’t.’ We have to have the children’s belief that it will be.
“There is a law in Nature that says: every though , every feeling, and every deed cannot go without producing their consequences. And that what we think one day will come to us. So the first thing is: Strive to be set right in your soul, be fair. Man must be fully fair.” ~Biensa Douno
A World of Purity
Many who call themselves Spiritual say that we cannot achieve perfection and to constantly try only frustrates us, therefore we should stop trying. Perhaps those people will prefer Douno’s approach and say that we need purity rather than perfection. While it is the same thing in some ways, it is also different. What exactly perfection is we often don’t know. But purity simply means cleansing ourselves of everything that shouldn’t be a part of what we are. The more of those false or negative things we remove from us, the purer we become. And I think everyone can understand that pure gold is more useful and more valuable than gold ore, that pure oxygen is easier to breathe than polluted air.
Impurity Brings Suffering
It amazes me sometimes how many people seem to embrace impurity—intentionally or unintentionally—and are surprised when they end up sick, tired, angry, and otherwise unhealthy. They eat anything that tasted good, then complain that they are very overweight. They drink, smoke, and expose themselves to harmful radiations, then wonder why they are always sick, rundown, and plagued by headaches. It amazes me even more that many doctors and medical practitioners today tell such people to take one drug or another, but rarely advise them to stop eating junk, stop smoking, stop sitting and doing nothing. They should be telling people to start cleansing themselves, purifying themselves. We won’t get a world of purity when the occupants of the world are heavily polluted.
Physical and Spiritual Purity
While physical purity is easy to understand, Spiritual Purity is a different matter. For starters, there are many different ideas on what constitutes spiritual growth and development. May today think that simply because they have rejected materialism as their lifestyle, they have become spiritual. Others say they are purified because they have stopped eating meat and criticize as often as possible those who so eat meat. Anyone who is truly spiritual knows that criticizing the beliefs or behavior of others is not being spiritual. So while rejecting materialism is a start, the journey to spiritual purity begins there, it doesn’t end there.
We can understand that gaining physical purity is getting closer and closer to the way Nature would have us function on a physical level. Gaining spiritual purity is getting closer and closer to what God wants us to be. But again, there are many ideas about what that is, many books written on the subject. Since we really have no way of knowing which, if any, of those books are the real truth and the complete truth, the solution is to turn to the Source rather than to books.
The Source of Purity
The source of human purity and world purity is God. God is pure. Only God is pure. His essence, His Being, is never polluted. So if we want a world of purity, we must try to let the world be run according to the Will of God. And if we want our own personal world of purity in our spirits and souls, we must listen to God and purify ourselves according to His Law and His Will. The catch is that we can’t communicate with God and the Angels when our spirits and souls lie dormant. That is the condition they are in when we enter the physical world. They must be awakened, for only an awakened Soul can communicate with God and the Angels. Only a purified soul can become one with God. Only purified souls can transform our world—with the help of God—into a world of purity.
So if you don’t like struggling to achieve some undefined “perfection”, seek instead to become purified like the finest silver and gold, like the glass of the finest crystal, like the souls of the saints and mystics.
