This view of Jainism is further supported by the modern psychologists such as Freud etc.
The twelfth stage in the spiritual development of the soul is called Ksinamoha Gunasthāna. In this stage the deluding Karma, which is the main obstruction in the spiritual progress, is completely destroyed. At the end of this stage the rest three Ghati Karma, i.e., Jñānavarana, Darśanavarana and Antaraya are also destroyed and the soul ascends to the thirteenth stage.
This thirteenth stage is known as Sayogi-KevaliGunasthāna. In this stage soul attains the four infinities, i.e. infinite knowledge, infinite perception, infinite bliss and infinite power and thus becomes omniscient. It is the highest stages of spiritual development. It is the stage of Jivana-mukti of other systems of Indian Philosophy. Only due to the existence of four non-destructive Karmas, i.e. Ayu (age), Nama, Gotra and Vedaniya, soul remains in the body till the span of age determining Karma is not exhausted.
This fourteenth stage is named as Ayogi-KevaliGunasthāna, because in this stage the omniscient soul controls its activities of mind, body and speech and thus prepares itself for the final emancipation. In this stage the remaking four non-destructive Karmas are destroyed and the soul, after leaving the body, proceeds for its heavenly abode at the top of the universe and lives there for time infinite.
