Yogasthi Samuccaya
Thus, the soul itself becomes filled with devotion. By turning away from and eliminating all the karmic impurities of the past, the soul itself becomes repentant. By turning away from and eliminating all the karmic impurities of the future, the soul itself becomes renunciant. By constantly observing all the impurities of the present, and by constantly reflecting on them with self-awareness, the soul itself becomes self-critical. Thus, by constantly renouncing, constantly repenting, and constantly self-criticizing, the soul itself becomes virtuous. * Thus, the practice, conduct, and character of this virtuous person is as follows:
1. Niratichar - Since it is devoid of any attachment to all beings, there is no transgression in it; there is no transgression (Transgression) in the form of movement in attachment.
2. Shuddhopayag Anusari - This is the practice of the self-realized person who follows pure use - the self-nature. Just as the lotus leaf is in water but not wet, I am also detached. No other feeling enters me. Thus, I am unique. Like the ocean, my self-nature is eternally organized. Thus, I am constant. Seeing beyond the cycle of existence, I am undifferentiated - like gold, I am one undivided substance. Looking at my own nature, I am free from karmic impurities. Thus, this person contemplates the pure soul, and by contemplating the pure, solitary soul, he drinks the nectar of non-dualistic bliss.

3. Vishisht Apramad Yukt - Since this virtuous person is filled with such pure self-awareness, he does not experience any delusion in the form of a loss of self-nature, and the subtle nature of objects, passions, attachment, aversion, etc. diminishes.
4. Viniyog Pradhan - This person, having known, realized, and practiced the knowledge-wisdom, applies it correctly - in its proper place (Practical application), and connects other beings to Dharma, so that his own Dharma tradition does not break.
