The Siddha State
The liberated soul (siddha) exists in perfect, eternal, unchanging bliss.
Siddhas have eliminated all karma and exist at the apex of the universe in pure consciousness. They possess infinite knowledge, perception, bliss, and energy, unchanging for eternity.
The siddha knows all, sees all, and is pure bliss forever.
The siddha state is the goal of all Jain practice.
