For me it's a little different, as far as this description of Patanjali... A translucent intellect is fundementally different from the standard government issued intellect. The regular generic intellect is just the 'Decider'; It decides whether it be this, or whether it be that. But once the intellect becomes so purified, as pure as the Self; Then it is no longer the 'Decider'...it's no longer jumping from tree to tree, like the monkey, in the jungle. It's still, translucent...it's not deciding anymore; It is standing back along with the Self, just knowing, no longer deciding between this or that. This is what the concept of: 'Spontaneous right action', in the SCI course. r.g.
