Also Shaucham. Purity, cleanliness. (Glossary for the Vahinis)

Purity is of two kinds: external and internal. External purity is achieved by the use of water and cleaning agents. Apart from bodily cleanliness, in daily life we have to ensure purity of clothes we wear, the food we consume, the places where we live, the books we read, and the like. All organs of the body have to be kept completely pure. This is essential not only for maintaining perfect health, but also to enjoy a state of bliss. The environment around you should also be kept pure.

As regards internal purity, it should be noted that the mind is polluted by bad thoughts and bad desires, by attachments and aversions. You must strive to fill the mind with good and sacred thoughts. Qualities like love, kindness, compassion, forbearance and sympathy have to be developed to get rid of negative and bad thoughts. (D3, p. 85)
