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)

verily is the fruit of understanding! That which is understood, but has not resulted in conduct, is called vision (darshan), and when it comes into conduct it is called gnan. Who is the mother of gnan? Understanding (samaj) is the mother of gnan. From where is one to attain that vision? From the Gnani Purush. Complete understanding (samaj) is absolute vision (keval darshan) and when it manifests in conduct, it is absolute knowledge (kevalgnan)!
Where anything needs to be done; it is not the path of moksha. Where one has to understand, that is where the path of moksha is. The path of moksha is easy (sahelo), simple (sarad) and without any effort (sugam). So, get Your 'work' done.
Once it is understood that, 'this is wrong', the wrong will leave by itself. As the understanding establishes, the gnan (knowledge) arises. That which comes in conduct (vartan) is called charitra. Right conduct (samyak charitra) can be experienced through the senses and absolute conduct (keval charitra) is beyond the senses and it is part of Gnan.
Vision (darshan) is considered higher than faith (shraddha). Faith may change but vision (darshan) never changes! And the intuitive insight (sooj) that arises within is a natural gift. Intuitive insight is the balance sheet of the experiences of infinite previous lives!
When two people talk, it is talk (aakhyan) and when talking to a large group, it is a lecture (vyakhyan)!
Be alert and aware when circumstances are favorable (anukud). Favorable circumstances make one slip downward spiritually and unfavorable circumstances (pratikud) keep one alert!
The intent, with which karma is charged, will be the intent during the discharge of karma. If the karma was charged with
