Akram Youth English Edition - August 2018

The entire world is in search of purity.
Individuals ask for pure things, people, food, water and
even the air. Nobody chooses impurity.
Have we ever given it a thought of how
pure are we? How is purity important for
us in order to move forward in relative as
well as the spiritual world? According to
Dadashri's viewpoint, for daily life, the
purity of lakshmi (money), pride and
vishay (sexual relationship) have
received importance. The principles of
purity were so deeply embedded in
Dadashri's life that in religion, business,
married life and matters of moneyvishay-
pride he always remained pure
which exhibited an ideal behavior to the
world. Dadashri used to say that if one is
pure in worldly interactions, doesn't
have a single thought related to vishay
and kashay and is completely detached
from 'want' of everything then only the
world can be understood in its real form.
However, in the current time cycle
(kalyug) where people do not have
harmony in thoughts, speech, and body,
people cannot remain in purity even if
they have best of the intentions (bhaav)
to do so. Hence Dadashri has rightly
elucidated “So much of pure you are,
that much of world is yours”. Let us
understand Dadashri's principles of
purity and take steps towards achieving
purity in life.
