Yes, it is theoretically possible to attain kṣāyik samyaktva (permanent right faith) in this very birth – but only if the required level of inner purity and karmic maturity is actually present.

Let’s break it down very simply:

---

1. What is kṣāyik samyaktva?

Samyaktva (Samyak Darshan) is right faith / right vision.

Its main types are:

1. Aupśamika samyaktva – temporary, by suppression of mohaniya karma
2. Kṣayopśamika samyaktva – mixed, partly destroyed and partly suppressed
3. Kṣāyik samyaktva – permanent, by total destruction of darshan‑mohaniya karma

In kṣāyik samyaktva, the wrong-belief producing deluding karma that causes mithyātva is completely destroyed. From that point onwards, fall back into mithyātva is impossible.

Both Digambar and Śvetāmbara accept these three as standard types of samyaktva; technical details (gunasthān level, sequence etc.) are discussed slightly differently, but the core meaning is the same:

• kṣāyik = nitya, avināśī, never lost samyak darshan.

You can also see a simple explanation of the types of samkit here: “Samkit gyan in 48 mins”

2. Is it possible now, in this life?

From Jain Siddhānta:

• There is no rule that kṣāyik samyaktva can only come in some “special” birth like Tirthankar‑nāma‑karma etc.
• Any jīva in saṃsāra, when:

- its moha (mohaniya karma) has become sufficiently weak, and - powerful causes like samyak shrut, powerful upadeśa, intense internal purity, and strong nirveda (disgust for saṃsāra) arise together,

can destroy darshan‑mohaniya karma and attain kṣāyik samyaktva.

So in principle, yes – if in this very life your darshan‑mohaniya karma is ready to be destroyed, kṣāyik samyaktva can arise.

But:

• For most ordinary householders, what usually arises (if at all) is kṣayopśamik samyaktva, not kṣāyik.
• Kṣāyik samyaktva generally marks a very advanced soul, close to the upper guṇasthānas.

3. Practical way to think about it

Instead of worrying “Is mine kṣāyik or kṣayopśamik?”, Jain Āgamas guide us to:

1. Aim first for true samyak darshan in any form

- firm, doubt‑free, peaceful faith in tattvas - eight aṅgas of samyaktva living in our life.

1. Live daily as a samyakdrashti

- ahiṃsā, truthfulness, carefulness - regular samayik, pratikraman, svādhyāy, satsang - reducing krodh, mān, māyā, lobh.

1. Let the depth grow naturally

- as mohaniya karma weakens, the samyaktva automatically moves from: - aupśamika → kṣayopśamika → kṣāyik.

So, yes, it is possible in this birth, but only if your accumulated purity and effort reach that rare level where darshan‑mohaniya karma is totally destroyed. That part is invisible to us, but every moment of genuine right faith and vītarāg‑bhāva pushes you toward it.
