________________ Riddhi (le pouvoir surnaturel) Om hrīm arham namo savvosahi-pattānam (Jhraum jhraum namah swāhā) Evidential Story - 37 Gold & diamond are almost related. Dhan & Daulat, rupees etc. are similarly related. If all these convey the meaning of wealth are who is fond of Gold & wealth becomes mad. A Poet has said that Kanak & Kanrk sounds similar yet one is gold the other is a bitter fruit. When you find dhatura and gold the gold makes you more mad. When everyone eats Dhatur he becomes mad, and a person who finds gold is more disturbed. There is a saying "when wealth comes it kicks one and at this break, an his chest becomes broader; but when the kick is on the chest he bends down. When the word daulat is divided into dav and lat means 2 kicks - (2 lat). With these kicks humanity is divided into two societies one rich the other poot but who are disturbed ? And this group with very simple clothing moves fast reflecting on their past life. He has lost much in his business and he becomes poverty stricken and comes to Sughat Jee millionaire's house. As he humbly sat the millionaire welcomed him Very politely. He said Seth jindaiji welcome "If is a long long time since we met. As the millionaire smoking was eating Pan, spent out & said "Please speak, how can I help you? What can I do for you" ? Before he could speak Jindal's eyes were drawn to the golden spittle pot & kept fixed at it. Instead of reflecting he was wonder struck, & he was in a mental storm. The more I worship this gold, it is going away while the millionaire is spitting on it, Yet it remains with him. Seth Sugathjee could read the mind of jindas the already disturbed fellow and he said "friend listen, all these king & sadhus have worn the cloth of austerity and at their feet the great kings also bend before these sages who have left all the worldly things behind them. The real treasure is within oneself why is man searching for worldly goods & forgets his soul? The one who is able to become God like is going round like a beggar for the Perishable things of this world. This Point touched him & the eyes of wisdom of Jindas were opened. As he was about to leave Seth Sugath gave a bag full of money & said “Please take it and start your business again. Jindas took the bag of many and went home. See the fortune & wealth how fickle they are. Suddenly his bag of many fell & spread all over. At sound of it the crowd gathered and instead of Picking up & giving the money to the owner they looked because if was in their fortune they got it. What happened at then ? was the purse turn ? some said if the banana peel was not thrown this would not have happened ! This happened because it was already written in his fortune. But Jidas was not at all disturbed with all these happening because he already knew the secret of nature's mayas. If it is in my favour I will surely get it. Thinking of all these, while returning to the city he met the Rishimuni and according to his advice on the Diwali day he worshipped Bhaktamar then the Jain's Bhakt Lakshmi Devi presented him with a precious magic glittering stone, and the palace of Jindas was lighted up with the light of that getting stone.
