Riddhi (le pouvoir surnaturel)
Om hrim arham namo āsī-visānam (Jhraum jhraum namah swāhā)
Evidential Story - 23
The measures of power is not being in great numbers. One strong person in one strong person in better than many weaklings. In the same manner the one who sings praises of God is putting all living beings in one category and the Tirthankars in another category. Great people are found rarely. Jain Puranas give evidence of holy persons being found limited members. This is the reason why in any age only 24 Thirthankars are found and not more, where as ordinary beings number is not fixed. Great men may be very few, may be just one, even then the amount of good works they do is much more than weak persons. Now we have a very good example from the writer. Though the countless number of stars illumines the sky, it cannot light up the world nor dispet darkness. Though they are numberless their strength doesn't increase. Sincerely the sun is just one yet its redness brightens the whole world, and awakens consciousness around. The writer tells about such a great person.
"You are blessed from your mother's womb and you do so much good which in turn your mother even more blessed. At present human population has increased just like worms and insects, yet unable to do any good to themselves or others. Crores of mothers give birth to crores of sons, yet they stand no where in comparison to your strength. This is the reason why at we can neither see more sons like you nor mothers like yours. God Paramatma alone is worthy of utterance. All religions address God in different ways. The vedic Rishis address God as mrityunjoy which means one who defeated death, Acharya Manathunga explains mrithyun joy as one who eradicates birth old age and death. Every Jain Thirthankar is a liberated person who will never again be born nor die. Not only every Thirthankar has achieved moksha but every devotee who takes his name faithfully will win over birth and death and when the people greet him Kailashpathi the ruler of Kailash mountain. All thee synonyms are meant for Thirthankar because welfare or wellbeing is known as Shiv and because you are the Shiv who alone care for the well being of all and there can never be another one.
