When one attains one-pointedness, then only does one attain the state of being absorbed in the object of contemplation. When the mind becomes pure, it becomes steady, and when it becomes steady, it becomes absorbed in the object of contemplation, and only then does liberation occur. Abandoning the outward-looking attitude, one attains the inward-looking attitude, and with a steady mind, one contemplates, "The soul is the Supreme Soul." This contemplation becomes a reflection of the Supreme Soul in the mirror of the pure, unchanging mind, and liberation occurs. Thus, the process of liberation is: cessation of mental activities → liberation, spiritual grace → knowledge of the truth → the state of being beyond knowledge → liberation, the process of yoga.

In Jain scriptures, the term 'eight yogas' is used for mind, speech, and body, which is indicative and conveys the same meaning. Similarly, 'usage' is a special term in Jain terminology. This usage is divided into two types: usage of knowledge and usage of action. 'Thirty-five yogas are essential' (Tattvartha Sutra). These eight yogas are closely related to each other. When the soul becomes steady in the state of pure knowledge and vision, its mind, speech, and body are steady, and when the mind, speech, and body are steady, the soul's instability is removed, and the usage also becomes steady.
The soul, in the form of usage, is in a state of being united with this body like milk and water, but it is different from the body like a sword from its sheath. How to attain it? How to make the usage not cease? Through the right yoga of mind, speech, and body. To practice such right yoga of mind, speech, and body, to demonstrate such skill, so that the soul does not become an obstacle in its self-realization but becomes a facilitator. 'Four: The skill of the mind' (Gita). And the method for this is to make the usage of mind, speech, and body so concise that the soul's form is primarily steady in relation to the body; and this steadiness of the soul is such that it does not end due to fear of any kind of danger or attack. Thus, to perfect, to shorten the usage of mind, speech, and body, they are given the names of mind-secrecy, speech-secrecy, and body-secrecy in Jain terminology. The usage of mind, speech, and body
