Jainism is fundamentally a soteriological path where all the practices and beliefs are geared towards accomplishment of the ultimate objective - liberation of the soul. Jainism is also known as moksham?rga - the path to liberation. Moksha is an ecstatic state of existence of a soul, completely free from the
karmic bondage, free from samsara, the cycle of birth and death. A released soul believed to have attained its true and pristine nature of infinite bliss, infinite knowledge and infinite perception. Such a soul is called siddha or paramatman and conceived as supreme soul or God. In Jainism, it is the highest and the noblest objective that a soul should endeavour to achieve. It fact, it is the only objective that a person should have; other objectives are adverse to the true nature of soul. With right faith, knowledge and efforts all souls can achieve this state.
Bhavyata
However, from the point of view of potency of moksha, Jain texts divides the souls in two categories - bhavya and abhavya. Bhavya souls are those souls who have faith in moksha and thus will make some crusades to reach liberation. This potentiality or quality is called bhavyata. However, bhavyata itself does not ensure moksha, because the soul needs to put in necessary pains to attain it. On the other hand, abhavya souls are those souls who cannot attain liberation, because they do not trust in moksha and hence never make any effort to attain it.
