Answer: By attaining samyaktva, the seeker destroys false belief, which is the root cause of transmigration. He destroys ignorance. Hence, the radiance of his knowledge does not diminish. He internalises true knowledge and perception in the glow of his knowledge. The seeker attains samyaktva and immerses himself in the true attributes of his soul like knowledge.
This has also been stated in the AachaaraangaSuutra:
"Je anannadansii se anannaaraame. je anannaaraame se anannadansii” -AachaaraangaSuutra, verse 2.6.5 (Page 95, Publisher: Gurupraana Foundation, Rajkot, year 1999)
He who has attained unrivalled perception (samyaktva) remains immersed in the transcendental self. And he who remains immersed in the transcendental self has attained unrivalled perception.
He who attained samyaktva is certain to attain liberation.
The soul where samyaktva appears is certain to attain liberation one day. There is no doubt about this.
Liberation means permanently shedding all karmas from the soul. When samyaktva is attained, the seeker rises above indolence and is in a state of constant awareness. The soul binds karmas to the soul when the activities of mind, speech and body are tainted with passion, attachment and aversion. Karmic bondage does not take place in the absence of attachment and aversion. Thus, the soul, which has attained samyaktva is saved from binding more karmas.
The soul, which has attained samyaktva remains unaffected by sorrow, difficulties, trials and tribulations. It retains its tranquilness and sheds old karmas. Thus, the soul, which has attained samyaktva one day sheds all four classes of ghaatii {omniscience-obstructing) karmas. The remaining four aghaatii {karmas which do not obstruct omniscience} karmas are shed when the natural life span of the body is over. After shedding all eight types of karmas, the soul attains liberation and is known as Siddha {perfected}, Buddha {enlightened) and Mukta {freed from the bondage of transmigration. Thus, samyaktva leads to liberation.
The Bhagavati Aradhana attests to this:
"Laddhunam ya sammattam muhuttakaalayavi je parivattanti tesimanantaanantaa na bhavadi sansaaravaasaddhaa" -Bhagavati Aradhana, Verse 1.52 (Page 97, Author: Aachaarya Shivarya Publisher: Jain Sanskriti Sanrakshaka Sangh, Sohlapur, year 1978) One who attains samyaktva even for a moment, and then loses it, shall not live in transmigration endlessly
