In the world today there are thousands of good people who do their best in the roles allotted to them in life: as son, daughter, wife, husband, worker, employer, social worker etc. Such people are termed as ‘good’ people. They are the pillars of the family and society. When such people wish to rise on the spiritual path they need to add a different set of rules to their daily lives.
The understanding of the terms- ‘good person’ and ‘pure person’ in spirituality are different from worldly usage of terms - ‘good person’ and ‘pure person’. The term ‘good person’ is used a lot in our daily speech A person may be very good human being, a good mother, a good student, a good father, a good employee, a great social worker etc. He may do all his appointed duties very well and then some more. He may take care of poor and homeless and do service to mankind day and night. In spiritual terms, such a person is only ‘good’ but not ‘pure’.
‘Purity’ in a person comes from chanting the Holy Name or Nama Japa or Mantra chanting. The purifying power of the Name should vibrate through every cell of the body. It should sear through the body, mind and emotions. This will purify the person in entirety. Dhyan with the mantra or holy name is also a very effective way of attaining purity.
Do the namasmaran or chanting of the Ram Nam at all times of day and night.
Start from being the good person you are and aim towards becoming a pure person.
