Kierkegaard is my absolute hero. The meaning of the quote takes a bit of explanation.
Sorry to bring religion into this, but it's the easiest explanation I can think of. If we tithe because we want to please God because he said to, that's a good place to be for Christians. But can we honestly say that that's the case if we also believe that tithing will make our church friends happier with us? Or that tithing will somehow undo some of the wrongs we've committed? Or that tithing will bless us right back in return? Until we can peel away all of those ulterior motives, we can't really do anything with a pure heart because we have so many other things helping to make the choice for us. The purest heart is one that is able to act with a singular purpose, free from all external motivations.
