Inner Almsgiving and Purification

Neville's Inner Vision

See these verses as a map of inner states. The mission to bring alms is a declaration that your consciousness may extend its generosity to its own people—your broader self—and bless it from within. The purification in the temple is not merely ritual; it is the moment when the I AM stands free of distraction and rests in a calm, untroubled awareness. When there is no multitude or tumult, you discover that true temple-work is a quiet decision of consciousness: you are already pure, and your acts flow from wholeness. The Asia of the world—the old identities, fears, judgments—exists only as stories your awareness rehearses. You do not surrender to them once you know yourself as the I AM, the one who gives and remains pure. By imagining yourself as the temple, purified and generous, you see that every offering you make to your nation arises from inner riches, not lack. Your inner sanctum becomes a reality of peace and aligned action.
