To know thyself, the body and mind should be pure and ready to receive the knowledge. Knowing thyself is none other than receiving knowledge about yourself. knowing ourself that we are nothing but the pure, eternal atma and the eternal witness without doing any thing and without receiving the fruits of the efforts. The truth is that we are already that brahman or atma or eternal god. But we donot know it as we are fully covered with illusions. When you purify yourself with some kind of efforts like meditation, relegious studies, listening to discourses your mind gets purified and your body also gets purified because of some types of rules (celebacy, vegeterianism , non violence etc). In India, another method is prescribed for quick, sure purification of the body and soul to make oneself ready to receive the knowledge or teaching about his self from any guru. This is called Upanayana or initiation in to relegion with Gayatri mantra.
