Soul Science : Samayasara by Jain Acarya Kundakunda
Each Siddha is omniscient. The soul of each Siddha became a Siddha after an infinitely long worldly journey. Souls of different Siddha in their past worldly lives have been associated with different experiences and associations, but there does not appear any difference in the omniscience and purity of all Siddha. This is possible only if the soul of each Siddha remains intact and undamaged during all worldly associations in all the past worldly lives. This implies that the pure cognitive attribute of the soul (Upayoga) of a worldly living being remains untouched with various kinds of associated emotions and physical bodies (see Stanzas 14, 15). जह कणयमग्गितवियं पि कणयभावं ण तं परिच्चयदि। TE HTG afaci u gale VI GUIDOTTI 111841 एवं जाणदि णाणी अण्णाणी मुणदि रागमेवादं। अण्णाणतमोच्छण्णो आदसहावं अयाणतो ।। 185।। Jaha kaņayamaggitaviyam pi kaņayabhāvam na tam pariccayadi.

Just as gold does not lose its nature of gold even while it is red hot under fire, in the same way an enlightened being does not lose his knowing-nature even while he is under burning-hardship due to the fruition of [the previously bonded] Karma. [184]
An enlightened person knows the above mentioned point, but an ignorant one clouded by the darkness of ignorance considers the inclination of attachment (Rāga) as soul because he does not know soul's nature. [185]
