Supremely detached enlightened perception is the immensely perception of the soul that arises when the seven forms of perception deluding are annihilated completely.

Yenaamshena tu raagastenaamshenaasya bandhanam bhavati.” (30)
A soul is free from the inflow of karmas to the extent that it has enlightened perception and attracts the inflow of karmas to the extent that it has attachment and aversion.
