Samyaktva helps the spiritual uplift of the soul from from the 4th gunsthaanaka to the 14th gunsthaanaka. Hence, one who attains samyaktva keeps a distance from attachment and aversion. Their deep faith in and commitment towards the teachings of the supremely detached Jinaas they do not bind fresh sinful karmas.
It may perhaps happen that because the samyakdrishti is not omniscient, it may be misled into considering taking up a false and inauspicious path. It could even be possible that the samyakdrishti walks on the false path. But when his illusion gets shattered he gives up the wrong path, and starts walking on the right path.
The samyakdrishti perception is always focused inwards. He is constantly immersed in the pure state of consciousness. This is why all his activities of walking, talking, sleeping, sitting, eating and drinking are characterised by viveka {discriminative knowledge and jatna {diligent following of non-violence. He is always careful to stay away from sin.
It has been said in the Dashavaikalika Suutra that,
"Jayam chare jayam chitthe jayamaase jayam saye. Jayam bhunjanto bhaasanto paavakammam na bandhai."
Dashavaikalika Suutra, Verse 4.8 (Page 70, Author: Aachaarya Swayambhavsuri, Publisher: Akhil Bhartiya Sudharma Jain Sangh, Jodhpur (Rajasthan), year V.S.2066)
He who walks, stands, sits, sleeps, eats and speaks with viveka {discriminative knowledge and jatna {Diligent following of non-violence does not bind sinful karmas.
Thus, after attaining samyaktva, taking care to ensure that it remains pure, and remaining constantly alert and focused on it in one's thoughts and reflection and meditating upon it leads to the shedding of all eight types of karmas from the soul.
