Purity: Being Fully Present in the Moment

"Purity" means being clear and unbiased, like a pristine sound. A thought can also be pure if it focuses solely on one thing, purely dedicated to truth, and without ulterior motives. Love is different. Love becomes pure when it replaces exclusion with acceptance, embracing everything. Love turns everything it embraces into purity. On our inner journey, by truly accepting and fully embracing everything as it is, we become pure. For a pure sound is a complete sound, a pure thought is a complete thought, and pure love is complete love. Thus, pure humanity is whole humanity, pure reality is complete reality, and pure connection is a full connection. Through our inner journey, we become purer as we engage with more and more things, completely traversing all experiences. And how do we return from this journey? Purely—being fully present in the moment.
