# Purity of Spirit: Overcoming Incompatible Elements

## GA 266I — 24 October 1905, Berlin

### Esoteric Lesson

Interpretation of the formula: More radiant than the sun ... [see GA 266/1]. The spirit that is within us and explains objects to us is more radiant than the sun. Everything is pure in itself. Coal is pure and water [is] pure. However, the combination of something incompatible gives rise to impurity. The snow crystal has separated out the dirt and is completely pure. This is how our feelings must become.
