________________ The final stage of self-realization is the stage absolute perfection in this stage of ukladhy na. This stage lasts only for the period of time required to pronounce five shorts syllables. At the end of this period the soul attains perfect and disembodied liberation. This is a stage of perfection. However, the Jain conception of mok a does not obliterate the individuality of each soul. It is neither merged nor is identical with anything higher than itself. Its individuality is not lost. This is the permanent personality of the soul even in the state of perfection immediately after attaining release from all Karmas the soul darts up to the top/summit of the universe. Tadnantaram radvam gacchty lok nt t (TS/X/5) 8.0 Summary / Conclusion Annexe I shows the seven varities and the two states of bondage i.e. merit and demerit. If we see closely at the chart, we find that the seven verities relate to j va and pudgala (primarily karma) as the constituents of cosmos and the remaining five verities are the states of their interaction and the resultant j va. The next two states i.e. influx and bondage is the indicator of sa s ra or the world, as we know it or the transmigratory state of the j va. The next two verities i.e. stoppage of influx and dissociation are the spiritual state of jva where jiva tries to free itself of the krmica bondage and attain the state of pure soul called mok a, the last verity. Merit and demerit are the results of the interactions of the jiva and karma as auspicious (merit) and inauspicious (demerit).
