I am the Soul

यत्क्षणं दश्यते शुद्धं तत्क्षणं गतविभ्रमः।
स्वस्थचित्तं स्थिरिभूतं, निर्विकल्पं समाधिना ।।
The very moment there is the realisation of the pure true form of the atma, the illusion is wiped out. The chitta becomes fine, and acquires stability, and the jiva attains the peaceful state of meditation - samadhidasha.
The impure chetana is the state of disturbance. For vikalpa keeps arising. Getting mixed up with vikalpa and allowing the self to transform accordingly, and believing that the self is in that form, is the vikalpa state. There lies instability.
A jiva within its own transition does not get mixed up with any vikalpa when it rises. It remains aloof. It transforms only within the sensation of its own pure chetana. Remaining within the experience of the natural disposition of jnana is the nirvikalpa state. The disciple had an experience of such a nirvikalpa state. He went beyond the feelings of karta-bhokta. Thus he has declared before the Gurudev that he had experienced the third and fourth statement in his self. Now there is no doubt about the fifth and sixth statement. The fifth statement is moksa and that is the ultimate achievement. That is yet to be attained. The sixth statement being the “means to moksa' is now taking shape in the effort of the disciple. How the Gurudev has briefly explained the means to moksa and what he has understood, the disciple is telling us -
मोक्ष कहो निज शुद्धता, ते पामे ते पंथ,
94511 fatuni, Haos urf frify .....PR3
O Gurudev! I have now understood through contemplation within my atma, both the moksapada and moksapanth as you had mentioned. The complete uncovered, impassionate and indestructible pure state of atma is the moksapada. And the effort made for the attainment of this state is moksapanth.
