**On the Eighth Insight:**
"Activity is fulfilled by its own nature,
(55) The mind, attached to the world, is full of afflictions, while the mind free from afflictions is the end of rebirth." - Shri Yashovijayji.
"Where there is attachment and aversion, there is always affliction for the mind. Where there is indifference, there is the destruction of all suffering.
"Just as the shadow disappears in the vast expanse, so too does the mind's nature disappear in its own form." - Shrimad Rajchandraji.
**The State of Nirāchāra:**
"Nirāchāra is here, free from all transgressions.
The effort is like the movement of one who has reached the summit and has no need to climb further." (179)
**Commentary:**
In this insight, the yogi is in the state of Nirāchāra, free from all transgressions. He has no desire to perform any actions, and therefore lacks the need for Pratikramaṇa and other rituals. He is also free from all transgressions, as he has no reason to commit any. His effort is like the movement of one who has reached the summit and has no need to climb further, because he has no karmas left to conquer through actions. He has transcended all actions and attained the state of Nirāchāra.
"The yogi in this state of Nirāchāra, is not to be called a transgressor. His movement is like that of one who has reached the summit of a mountain." - D. Sazā. 8-1.
When the yogi attains this eighth insight, he no longer needs to perform any actions. He is liberated from all actions. Until now, the yogi in the state of Nirāchāra has been free from actions, but in this insight, he is completely free from all restrictions. His effort is like the movement of one who has reached the summit and has no need to climb further. He is free from all karmas that can be conquered through actions, and has attained the state of Nirāchāra.
