Purity is the key to Raja Yoga. In fact, Raja Yoga is all about purity. Purity of body, mind, and spirit.
Why purity of body?
Because, eating and drinking injurious foods is entirely harmful to the body. Natural, unprocessed foods are best. Avoid anything that is a stimulant, such as caffeine and sugars. Stay away from anything that can become addictive.
Why purity of mind?
Because, in the mind you experience life. Clouded thinking will give no clear realization of the true nature of life. Learn to focus and pierce the ceil of outer appearances to see the purity and perfection within. Purity is at the core of everything. Allow your mind to get to that level of existence and see for yourself.
Why purity of spirit?
You may ask, “Isn’t the spirit naturally pure?” Everything is in essence pure. The spirit are your hopes and dreams, your aspirations. To focus your attention on objects of true purity elevates your spirit to the realm of purity and perfection.
So, that is what the practice of Raja Yoga is all about. It is pretty simple, with tremendous results. You will feel better, be happier, more fulfilled, with more love for all in your heart.
