free ( nihshank )! Be doubt-free about the Self . That freedom from doubt can only happen when the Gnani Purush gives the knowledge of the Self ! Then there will be no charging of new karma !
If you want to progress in the world , you follow the path of intellect ( buddhi ) and if you want to attain moksha , follow the path of not using intellect ( abuddha )! The wrong intellect ( viparit buddhi ) turns into the right intellect ( samyak buddhi ) through satsang with the Gnani and it takes you to final liberation ! When one becomes entirely free from intellect , absolute knowledge will be attained . There is no use for intellect to attain final liberation .
Swachhand ( to act according to one ’ s own intellect in matters of salvation and spiritual progress ) can ’ t be stopped without the Agna ( instructions of the Gnani Purush ), and unless swachhand is removed there will be no moksha . Therefore , the Agna of the Gnani is religion ( dharma ) and it is also penance ( tapa )! The worship with understanding of the Agna is the only way to moksha . Practicing yoga gives concentration ; there is steadiness of the mind for a little while . And if it becomes above normal , it will cause great afflictions . It will boost the ego and create a distance from the Self .
A witnessing state ( sakshibhaav ) is through the ego ! If someone swears at you and you feel bad , that is the proof that the ego is operational within . Witnessing is a stage in the Kramic path ( traditional step-by-step path of spiritual progress ). In the end one has to be the Knower-Seer ( Gnata-Drashta ).
To follow according to one ’ s own intellect in the matter of the Self is called swachhand . It creates obstacles in the path of moksha .
It does not need to be brought into conduct ( vartan ); it has to be fitted in understanding ( samaj ). Conduct ( vartan )
