“It is safe to tell the pure in heart that they shall see God, for only the pure in heart want to.”

“It has to do with seeing God. “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God” (Matthew 5:8).”

“We are afraid that Heaven is a bribe, and that if we make it our goal we shall no longer be disinterested. It is not so. Heaven offers nothing that the mercenary soul can desire. It is safe to tell the pure in heart that they shall see God, for only the pure in heart want to. There are rewards that do not sully motives. A man's love for a woman is not mercenary because he wants to marry her, nor his love for poetry mercenary because he wants to read it, nor his love of exercise less disinterested because he wants to run and leap and walk. Love, by definition, seeks to enjoy its object.”

“Doesn't the bible say "blessed are the pure in the heart, so they shall see God?" when?Only when there is purity in the heart; a heart peaceful and free from egoism--the "I" and the "mine." Purity of heart and equanimity of mind are the very essence of Yoga.”

“Only the pure of heart can make a good soup.”

“Whoever tells a lie is not pure of heart, and such a person can not cook a clean soup.”
