Purity and Sincerity

Purity and sincerity are ‘connected to each other,’ but are not the same. You have requested to have purity of thought, but as a mortal this is very difficult to obtain, because of the tendency to judge, to evaluate another, to minimize, to over-emphasize, to exaggerate, and much more. Purity of thought is a mastery over all negative impulses and tendencies. It has to become an unconscious habit of pure thinking in which sincerity comes first, and sincerity could therefore be seen as the fore-runner of purity, for when you are sincere, you are pure at heart, and the pure of heart shall see God.
