but does not samipya bhav or close association with matter cause mohniya karma, if there is any matter in moksha that will cause samipya bhav
Short answer: No. In the liberated (moksha) state there is no samipya bhav and no mohniya karma.
What this means in Jain terms:
- Samipya bhav is a mental longing to stay in close company with worldly matter or beings. It arises from attachment (parigaha) and leads to mohniya (deluding) karmas when the mind is drawn back toward worldliness.
- Mohniya karma is the deluding karma that makes a living being misperceive reality and become attached to matter and sensory pleasures.
In moksha:
- All karmas are burnt (samyakksaya), including mohniya.
- The jiva attains omniscience and infinite bliss, with no bondage to matter. There is no tendency or condition like samipya bhav remaining to affect the liberated soul.
