Sloka  384:

विशुद्धमंतः करणम् स्वरूपे
निक्षिप्य साक्षिण्य अवबोधमात्रे।
शनैः शनैः निश्चलतां उपानयन्
पूर्णत्वमेव अविलोकयेत् ततः ॥

1 विशुद्धमंतः करणम् स्वरूपे निक्षिप्य-
fixing the pure Antah-Karana upon ones inner self ;

 2 साक्षिण्य अवबोधमात्रे (स्वरूपे )-
that which is witness and pure knowledge;

Here pure Antah-Karana mean that which is free from the Rajo Tamo gunas. One should meditate with mind free from other impediments of Rajo and Tamo gunas.  In meditation the concentration comes slowly ultimately attaining the state of being unmoving. ( Nischalatattva) 
Guru makes that point in the next line

little by little attaining the quititude ;

4 पूर्णत्वमेव अविलोकयेत् ततः -
one should behold the fullness of one's self ;
