What does tantra mean by purity?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Purity in tantra is not about moral judgments, but the end of inner division; it is the innocence of a child combined with the awareness of a sage, living in undifferentiated wholeness beyond good and bad."
According to Osho, tantra’s purity is not moral goodness versus badness, but the end of inner division. Purity means innocence: a no‑mind state where experiences arise and pass without residue, suppression, or transfer. Like a child’s spontaneity yet with a sage’s awareness, it is undifferentiated wholeness—living without conceptual labels of good and bad, so actions are direct, transparent, and unbonded by guilt or shame.
Purity means having a childlike, undivided mind that lets things happen and pass without judging them as good or bad.
