This Yoga is acquired at the last moment of life by the Omniscient. By means of this Yoga being in a moment destitute of all Karmas the soul relieved from the body, attains absolute freedom. The Karmic forces, which remain at the time of the attainment of Omniscience, [Kevalajnana], are completely destroyed in a moment under this Yoga.

As the gourd which stands firm at the bottom of water, floats on the water when the dirt with which it is besmeared is cleared off, so the perfectly purified soul goes up when the plastering of moral impurity of all Karmic forces is destroyed.

It is the nature of the soul to go up when it is free from all Karmic forces. The ascending Supreme Soul at once reaches and abides in the topmost part of Loka.

Thus the superior spirit does not descend from this plain owing to the absence of heaviness or weight. It does not ascend higher for the want of auxiliary motion. It does not progress forward in an oblique direction without being assisted by initial velocity, consequently its proper abode is at the top of the phenomenal world.
