________________ stating that "at the summit of the manifestation of which we are a part, there are worlds of infinite existence, consciousness, force and biiss. All beings there live and move in an ineffable completeness and unalterable oneness. Nearer to us are the worlds of a perfect supramental creation". When you are becoming 'God', you have the state of manifestation-a man, Arihanta, Kevali, embodied and visibiy mobile Tirthankara. Such souls are worshipped by Jainas by thier names as Tirthankaras or in a nameless and an impersonal way by calling them Siddhas & Arihantas. Their powerful Mantra - the holiest of holy incantation therefore is : Namo Arihantanam (my obeissance to Arihantas), Namo Siddhanam (my obeissance to Siddhas), Namo Aayariyanam (my obeissance to the Adepts on the path), Namo Uvazzayanam (my obeissance to the immediate next in rank firmly settled on the path) and Namo Loye Savva Sahunam (my obeissance to all the saints even evolving to the final realization holding the path).
