The goal of Jain Dharma is to reach a state of "Kevala J?ana," which means 'perfect knowledge.' Upon attaining this, one obtains 'Misha' and becomes free of the cycle of rebirths and will not suffer through any additional "Kalchakra," or 'time cycle.' 'Siddha' is the term that describes a person that has reached 'Misha.'
Jains believe that the universe and time is infinite and continues forever. Time is divided into cycles; at the beginning of each the world is reverted to a sort of primal state in where there is no knowledge or religion. People can escape this cycle by obtaining enlightenment: "Kevala J?ana"
