Purification occurs when we do yoga and meditation all day long putting the body in shape, putting the min in shape, putting the spirit in shape, putting the action in shape. We purify the body with the right kind of food and with exercise or asansa. We purify the prana with pranayama. We purify the mind and emotions with mantra and chanting. We purify the intellect by listening to discourses or study of scriptures or enquiry into the nature of the self. We let go of our regular ideas and replace them with the light and with the truth. Instead of having dark thoughts, we replace them with the light and with the truth. So it we practice Serve, Love, Give, Purify, meditate then realization will follow. The word the realization means that the impurities are removed and we have the experience of meditation, both during the time we sit for meditation and outside of it. It means that when we meditate, we have the experience and feeling of calmness. We think that realization must be like being struck by lightning but inside we can see the changes. From this we can understand that we are not conditioned by this existence, by age, by our body. We call this the knowledge of immortality. Realization is the experiences that is touched by nothing and experiencing it all the time.
