The Nath pattern and way of life is based on the intelligent acceptance of things as they are and not as other people would wish them to be. This means the rejection of religions and fictitious artificial patterns, as well as future and social orders based on confusion and contradictory ideas. Self-discipline is the Nath's way. Imposed discipline is the way of priests, politicians and predators. The Naths cannot harmonise with the possessiveness or oppression of others.
Purity belongs to both mind and body.
A Nath is one who keeps body and mind clean. Our magical way of life is both sacred and pure because we have washed away erroneous ideas and dirty thinking. The Naths are essentially alchemists because they know the transmutation of ordinary people cannot be attained without determination. If Naths belong to secret in-groups, it is because we do not wish our spiritual values to be polluted by the sordid civilisation which mankind has developed. We are not ashamed of this natural path.
