    book:

    Patanjali

    Nonviolence, nonpossessiveness, no-theft,
    and authenticity in being give purity. These
    are not moralistic concepts for Patanjali; this
    has to be always kept in mind.

    In the West they have been taught as morals;
    in the East as inner hygiene, not as morals.In
    the West they have been taught as altruistic
    goals; in the East there is nothing of altruism in
    them — it is absolutely selfish. It is your inner
    hygiene. They give purity to you, and through
    purity the impossible becomes possible, the
    unattainable is attained.

    Through purity your grossness of being is lost.
    You become delicate, subtle, and soft.
    Through purity you become a temple of the
    divine. Through purity an invitation is sent to
    the whole to come, and drop in you... and the
    ocean comes one day, and drops into the drop.

    When they are taught as moralistic concepts,
    as in the West — or in India also, as Mahatma
    Gandhi has been teaching — their total quality
    changes...
