ted souls prove the possibility of liberation and show also the path to be followed for the purpose. Three things are necessary for liberation. They are the perfect faith in the teacThings of the omnisient teachers, correct knowledge of their teachings and right conduct. Right conduct consists in to practice of abstinence from all injury to life, from false hood, from stealing, from sensuality and from attachment to sensual objects. By the joint culture of right faith, tight knowledge and right conduct, the passious are controlled and the Karmas that fetter the soul to matter are removed. The obstacles being removed, the soul attains natural perfection. ie. infinite faith, infinite knowledge, infinite power and infinite bliss. This is the final state of the Soil in liberation according to jain scriptures.
