## Dasha Shruta Skandha Sutra
The highest state for the soul is Samadhi, through which it can attain Shiva-Gati. Samyak-darshan, Samyak-gyan, and Samyak-charitra are also the highest states for the soul. Through these, the soul can attain Nirvana-pad and can know the highest state through the knowledge of jati-smaran. Alternatively, it can know the highest state through knowledge of the pure states among the countless states of restraint.
Now the Sutrakar speaks about the true dream:
**Ahataccam tu suminam khippam paseti samvude |
Savvam va oham tarati dukkha doya vimuccai || 3 ||**
**Yatha tatyam tu svapnam kshipram pasyati samvrata |
Sarvam vougham tarati duhkha dvayena vimucchate || 3 ||**
**Word by word meaning:**
* Ahataccam - Yatha tatyam suminam - true dream
* Samvude - by the restrained soul
* Paseti - sees
* Savvam - all
* Oham - the ocean of samsara
* Khippam - quickly
* Tarati - crosses
* Dukkha doya - two types of suffering
* Vimuccai - gets liberated

**Commentary:**
This Sutra clarifies who sees the true dream and what its result is. The restrained soul (one who controls all the wrong tendencies of the senses and mind) sees the true dream, and its fruit is quickly obtained. By the power of seeing the true dream, the soul, according to the Vyavahar Nay, crosses the ocean of samsara in all ways and is liberated from the eight types of karma-bandhan, including physical and mental suffering.
One might ask if liberation can be achieved through dreams. The answer is that the statement in the Sutra is according to the Vyavahar Nay.
