Samayasāra · However, even after this most difficult task is achieved, the soul has to strive further to block the other openings one by one. After the dawn of enlightenment self-restraint and self-discipline are the important next steps in spiritual advancement. Enlightenment i.e., right attitude and right knowledge must be followed by the right conduct which means discipline of the will. The disciplined will is rather the logical condition of the disciplined reason and one finds its fulfillment in the other; without this fulfillment the mere intellectual culture is cripple and mere moral culture implied by the discipline of the will without intellectual illumination is blind.
For the final freedom/emancipation the fivefold āśrava must be blocked by the fivefold samvara. In other words, after destroying the evilmost impurity in the form of perversity, the soul must tread the path of right conduct and acquire further strength for complete abstinence from immoral and sinful deeds. The spiritual inertia must be overcome next. It must, then, become free from the rise of all the four types of passions, And finally, it should acquire the state of total motionlessness.
The most significant feature of enlightenment is the ability to distinguish between the self and non-self. Ultimately the consciousness (upayoga) alone is to be identified with the self while the passions, quasi-passions, and all other distortions which are the outcome of the rise of karma, are to be regarded as non-self.
