Purity

  Here is a beautiful  devotional poem by Guru Rabindranaath Tagore,whose 150th birth anniversary was on 7th of May!

Purity

Life of my life, I shall ever try to keep my body pure, knowing
that thy living touch is upon all my limbs.

I shall ever try to keep all untruths out from my thoughts, knowing
that thou art that truth which has kindled the light of reason in my mind.

I shall ever try to drive all evils away from my heart and keep my
love in flower, knowing that thou hast thy seat in the inmost shrine of my heart.

And it shall be my endeavour to reveal thee in my actions, knowing it
is thy power gives me strength to act.

Very nice!

Well, thanks for the reminder of aiming for purity. Nevertheless, I am a little bit sceptical. Often such a search for purity leads to strictness and inhumanity!

         I think,when the search for purity is based on  the knowledge of Almighty  ,it never misleads one to a inhuman way !Only those who are deviated from the main concept get entangled in a wrong behavior !

I don't think we can be pure in our own power,it's when we submit our will to God's.

Agreed!
