Letter 1 can achieve its separate eternal existence in its purest form. This is the ultimate or final Goal of each and every soul.
To achieve this status of separate pure eternal existence we have to take the guidance of those liberated souls who have already attained that liberated stage. Under their guidance we should study and know the characteristics and qualities of 'Pure Soul' substance.
Before discovering true nature of the soul we must firmly believe that we can attain that stage of eternal pure existence.
Thereafter by practising to concentrate on one's own 'pure self' one experiences and realises his own' Self'. This realisation is known as Samyak Dnyan HalEFE FIR I.e. Real Right Knowledge. The firm belief about one's own self is known as Samyak Darshan Herita apta i.e. Real Right Belief.
When one concentrates on his own pure soul, he attains the condition of equanimity or passionless conduct, which is known as Samyak Charitra Forg afa i.e. Real Right Conduct. Samyak Darshan, Samyak Dnyan and Samyak Charitra all are manifested in same Samay.
When one attains this stage he is known as Samyak Drishti France cfe. Thereafter he always knows that he is different and separate from the body. Then he makes frequent attempts again and again to achieve (attain) this stage of self experience. Gradually he starts attaining higher spiritual stages.
As the spiritual experience becomes more frequent and of a longer duration he attains higher spiritual stages. And as a consequence of that he practices penance in his external behaviour, thereby achieving more and more spiritual purity. Eventually he attains the stages of Vrati Shravaka adit sad and Munigfa i.e. monk respectively.
But this still is a mixed stage of purity and impurity. Though he has complete Real Right Belief of purity of his own soul and also has experienced that status, he is still in the stage of being in conjunction with the body. But despite of being with the body he ceases to have affection for it and does not identify himself with the same.
Just as after engagement, a girl though staying at her father's place, starts loosing the feeling of possessiveness towards her maternal home. Or when one decides to have his separate residence from the joint family and acquires a new house, even before he actually moves in the new house, the feeling of detachment of the former house creeps in him.
While the soul starts attaining this stage of self experience more · frequently and for a longer duration each time, he reaches a stage where he is constantly in that condition for ever.
