We acknowledge that we are powerless in front of our internal impurities (such as lust, greed, anger, envy, pride and illusion) but by God’s grace, our impurities can go away and we can be brought to a higher state of consciousness. Various forms of divine awareness, such as hearing the words of God (Bhagavad Gita, Srimad Bhagavatam, etc.), and singing the holy names of God, such as Hare Krishna Mahamantra, which we call Divine mindfulness, can directly help us clean our thoughts and raise our soul to the divine realm.
