Sixth Fundamental-Path and Means of Liberation
It is pertinent here to quote Ächäräng Sutra (1-3-4-122). It states: “Egam Jänai Se Savvam Jänai”, which means: he, who knows One (Soul), knows all. When a person knows the soul in every respect, it means that his knowing capability has attained the perfect level. Nothing remains beyond the purview of that capability. It is analogous to switching on a light in order to find something lying in the dark. Suppose that we switch on the light to find out a ring that might have slipped from a finger. In that light not only does the ring become visible, but other objects in that area also become visible to us. Similarly the state, in which one remains fully aware of the Self, also enables him to be aware of everything. All-illumining capability is implicit in that state. The state of uninterrupted awareness thus covers all the attributes of omniscience.
That state is still embodied and does not represent liberation. But the omniscient Lords have the same level of perception, knowledge and bliss that the liberated Lords have. Moreover, since the state of liberation automatically emerges at the end of that life, the omniscient state can be termed as liberation (Nirvän) despite the embodiment. The second part (Stanzas 108-113) of this chapter comes to the end here. All the stages from being a truth seeker to the state of liberation are covered in these six stanzas.

As a dream of even millions of years subsides at the instance of waking, the delusion prevailing since the infinity disappears with the advent of enlightenment. (114)
