Pupil's Enlightenment
The phrase 'Shuddha Chetanä Roop' used in this stanza needs some explanation. It refers to awareness, which is the main attribute of soul. When one stays aware of what happens and remains indifferent to everything else, he can be said to be experiencing pure consciousness, which is the same as Shuddha Chetanä. That is awareness incarnate and is termed as Jnän Chetanä. In that state it is possible to experience the infinite bliss that is inherent within the soul. The pupil has now realized his own nature as being consciousness imbibed with the above-mentioned four attributes.

When delusion prevails, one is Kartä of Karma and bears the consequences; when the tendency flows within one's own nature, he ceases to be the Kartä. (121)
Explanation & Discussion: Now the pupil talks about third and fourth Fundamentals of being Kartä (Actuator) of Karma and bearer of its consequences. Karma occurs when one behaves beyond his nature. To know and stay aware is the nature of the soul. If one stays true to that nature, he does not acquire Karma. By virtue of delusion and the impact of Karma, however, one happens to act beyond his nature. Such action is termed as Vibhäv. Thereby one acquires Karma. As such, he becomes Kartä and has to bear the consequences.
Literally Vibhäv is the opposite of Swabhäv. Since Swabhäv
