simply out of the question.
67. Absolute Sanyam (control of the senses and mercy for all living beings), pure Sheel (character), true Darshan, perfect Jnana and the complete Kshya (destruction) of Karmas belong to Shuddha-Upayoga alone.

68. That which takes out a Jiva (soul) from the ocean of Chatur-gati-roop Dukha (misery and pain involved in the four forms or types of life), is one's own Vishuddha Bhava (pure, real nature) which is also called Dharma; hence this Vishuddha Bhava should be adopted.
69. The way to Moksha (emancipation) lies in the Vishuddha Bhava (absorption in the pure, real nature of Atman) alone; there is no other way. How can a Muni (saint) who falls down from that Bhava attain to Moksha?
70. One may go wherever it pleases him to go, he may do whatever he chooses to do; but without the purity of thoughts, he cannot obtain Moksha.
71. By means of the Shubha Parinamas (good thoughts), Dharma or Punya (good Karmas) accrues to the Jiva (soul), and by means of the Ashubha Parinamas (bad thoughts), Adharma or Papa (bad Karma Prakriti); but by becoming free from both these through pure spirituality no bondage of Karmas takes place.
72. By doing Dana (charity), one gets Bhogas (various enjoyments); by conquering one's senses or practising Tapa (asceticism), one becomes an Indra of Svaraga (heaven) but by means of Jnana (knowledge) one becomes free from births and deaths.
73. The Niranjana Deva (pure and perfect God) has said that the Jiva (soul) gets Moksha by Vitraga (dispassionate), Nirvikalapa (undisturbed, hence perfect) and Sva-Samvedana, Jnana (knowledge); he who is devoid of such Jnana wanders about in the Samsara (the world or the transmigratory condition of soul) for long.
74. Without Jnana (knowledge) one does not get Moksha
