For the evolving soul, there are three stages of exertion. The second exertion, which is the one that sends the knot of attachment and aversion to its most intense state, is the most important. Just as in the three groups mentioned, the punishment is easier to bear when the second group of bodyguards is present, similarly, conquering the delusion of perception is easier when the intense attachment and aversion are eradicated. Having conquered the delusion of perception and attained the end of the first stage of perfection, the evolving soul sees its true nature. The delusion of its true nature, which it had been experiencing, is removed. Therefore, the direction of its effort becomes straight instead of reversed. It becomes discerning and can differentiate between right and wrong actions. This state is called "Antaratma Bhava" in Jain scriptures. Because, having attained this state, the evolving soul begins to see the subtle and natural pure Paramatma-Bhava within itself. Antaratma Bhava is the gateway to the temple of the soul, entering which, one sees the certainty of the Paramatma-Bhava present within that temple.
This state is the fourth stage or the fourth stage of perfection in the evolutionary process. Attaining this stage, the soul experiences spiritual peace for the first time. In this stage, the spiritual vision is true (soul-oriented) and free from distortions. This is called Samyagdrishti or Samyaktva in Jain scriptures.
