This supreme vision of the Supreme Soul is extremely rare. Upon attaining this supreme vision, Shri Anandghanji, overwhelmed with joy, sang:
“O friend, look at the moon-like face of Chandraprabhu! It quenches the thirst of the senses...friend. Devas and humans serve him...friend. The pain of past karma is gone...friend. The sweet melody is not seen...friend. The great one is beyond description...friend. I have not seen such a sight...friend.
I will not take oil...friend.” etc. (See p. 147). Without attaining this vision of the Tirthankara, this soul has been wandering in this world since time immemorial, and upon attaining it, this soul is liberated from the world. And this attainment is not possible without pure devotion to the Sadhu, without devotion to the holy Guru.
“O Lord, the savior of the world, I pray to you, I beg you to show yourself,
Without your vision, I wander, for an endless and immeasurable time.” - Shri Devchandraji
“Whatever analogy we give for the holy religion embraced by the Nigrantha Bhagwan, it is still inadequate. The soul has wandered for an endless time, only because of the absence of his unique religion, what a style it is!”
- Shrimad Rajchandra, Letter No. 31. (2) What is this supremely wonderful and supremely rare vision of the Tirthankara? It has many meanings. For example: (1) Vision of the Prabhu's mudra - the image that establishes the form of the state of being free from attachment,
(2) General, gross vision of the Tirthankara's qualities, (3) True vision of the Tirthankara, as a result of seeing the truth, becoming a Tattvadrashta, (4) Direct vision - realization of their various forms of the Supreme Soul, etc. This vision is beneficial in countless ways, in every way, in every way. The first three types are also beneficial because they are the cause of the fourth type. And this supremely beneficial vision of the Tirthankara is understood only through the supremely beneficial Shrimad Sadguru, therefore the greatest benefit is to Shrimad Sadguru Bhagwan.
“Without the teachings of the Sadguru, the form of the Jina cannot be understood; without understanding, what is the benefit? At the time, the form of the Jina.” - Shrimad Rajchandraji, author of Shri Atmasiddhi
