Purity of Chit Verily is the Spiritual Accomplishment
Questioner : How can karma be purified ( shuddhi )?
Dadashri : Purity of karma occurs by purifying the chit . When the chit ( inner complex of knowledge and vision ) becomes pure , so will the karma . Karma becomes impure ( ashuddha ) because the chit is impure ; once the chit becomes pure ( shuddha ), so will karma . ( 111 )
Questioner : Will all the karmas become pure ? Will whatever karma that one does become pure ?
Dadashri : Karma will become pure after the chit becomes pure . When the chit is impure ( ashuddha ), karma becomes impure . When the chit is auspicious and beneficial to others ( shubha ), then karma is virtuous . When chit is bad , inauspicioushurtful to others ( ashubha ), karma is bad . So everything depends on the chit ! So it is the chit that has to be ‘ repaired .’ People say , ‘ I have to purify my chit .’ Therefore , spirituality ( adhyatma ) in this world is for the very purpose of purifying the chit . Therefore the chit needs to be purified .
The chit becomes impure when one steals and , by repenting , the very same chit becomes pure again . Impurity of the chit remains in the world because of failure to repent . And that is why all impure deeds ( actions ; karma ) continue . People do not repent even when they know they have done something
