Kabeer says only those people who have obtained true understanding are pure and unsullied.- Bhagat Kabeer, Guru Granth Sahib, Page 1195
Message: Adherence to any means of external purification or ritual cannot purify us. We remain defiled and impure as long as we are under the grip of evil temptations. An individual fails to achieve true understanding so long as the mind does not surrender itself to something higher and follow the highest counsel.
Our tongue remains defiled as long as we tell lies with it. Our ears remain sullied as long as we hear slander through them. Our heart remains impure until we rid it of negativity and evil that we carry within it.
Purity comes from eliminating our vices. Only by acquiring right understanding and making our hearts truthful can we be immaculate and pure in all ways.

They who sit down after merely washing their bodies are not called pure. O Nanak! Only they who enshrine the Divine within their minds are pure. – Guru Nanak Sahib, Guru Granth Sahib, Page 472
