Other Variants of Samyaktva
Saadhya and Saadhana
Saadhya is the final destination. Nothing more remains to be achieved after the destination is reached. And once the destination is reached, it cannot be lost.
Saadhana is the means to get there. From that point of view, upashama samyaktva and kshaayopashamika samyaktva are the means saadhana> and kshaayika samyaktva is the final destination (saadhya). Because nothing more remains to be achieved after it is attained. And once attained, it cannot be lost.
Paudgalika Samyaktva and Apaudgalika Samyaktva
Paudgalika samyaktva is the enlightened perception where samyaktva mohaniiya karmas may still be experienced. Kshayopashanika samyaktva falls in this category since in this case, the samyaktva mohaniiya karmas may still be experienced.
Apaudgalika samyaktva is the enlightened perception where samyaktva mohaniiya karmas are no longer experienced. Kshaayika samyaktva and Upashama samyaktva fall in this category since in this case, samyaktva mohaniiya karmas are no longer experienced. In the case of kshaayika samyaktva, samyaktva mohaniiya karmas have been annihilated. Hence, there is no question of experiencing them. In the case of upashama samyaktva, samyaktva mohaniiya karmas have been suppressed. In both cases, samyaktva mohaniiya karmas are no longer experienced.
Dravya Samyaktva and Bhaava Samyaktva
Dravya Samyaktva is the purification of mithyaatva karmas. Bhaava Samyaktva is the deep and lasting unshakeable faith in the teachings of the Jinaas.
Thus, samyaktva has been categorised into dravya and bhaava, kaaraka, rochaka and diipaka, nishchaya and vyavahaara, naisargika and adhigamika, paudgalika and apaudgalika. All of these categories exist only to explain what samyaktva truly is.
The essence of samyaktva is deep faith and understanding of all the reals in the world. As it is said in the second aphorism of the Tattvaarthasuutra, 'tattvaarthashraddhaanaam samyakdarshanam'. Deep and lasting faith in the teachings of the Jinaas and a complete acceptance of reality as it exists is the key to the attainment of samyaktva.
