________________
On completing the procedure of antarakarana, every moment, the soul is experiencing and destroying the karma dalikas remaining in the nishekas of the lower section through fruition (which are in uday). At the same samaya, he is suppressing the karma dalikas present in the upper section (which are in stock). Suppression or subsidence of a karma means that that particular karma will be unable to come to fruition or increase in quantum for a specific period of time.
Suppression is temporary while annihilation/destruction is permanent. Suppression of karmas may be understood with an example. When one sprinkles dust with water, it does not rise. That is suppression. The cause remains but is held in check for a short period of time.
When karmas in the prathama sthiti {in the lower section are destroyed after experiencing them or by bringing them into fruition prematurely, the emergence of bondage of mithyaatva mohaniiya karmas {false belief causing deluding karmas ceases. Simultaneously, all the karmas in the dvitiiya sthiti {in the upper section are suppressed.
After the stage of anivrittikarana is crossed, the soul enters upashamaaddhaa. Just as the greatest forest fire will abruptly come to a halt when it runs out of incendiary materials, when the soul crosses the stage of anivrittikarana and the soul enters upashamaaddhaa, which is free from the dalikas of mithyaatva, the soul attains Upashama samyaktva, where false belief (mithyaatva mohniiya) is dormant.
