________________ Pure Soul and its Infinite Treasure • 201 501. The Greatest Seer (Mahamuni): There are many sages and seers seeking eternal truth and reality. The Omniscient is the great seer among sages because he has achieved the best state. 502. The Greatest Observer of Silence (Mahamauni): In the state of Moksha the pure soul is the greatest observer of silence. 503. The Greatest Meditator (Mahadhyani): The pure soul is the greatest meditator who has realised eternal peace and happiness. 504. The Greatest Vanquisher (Mahadam): The path to Moksha begins by vanquishing the senses through constant practice. All senses have been vanquished by the omniscients. 505. The Greatest Empowerment (Mahaksham): The soul is so empowered that it is capable by itself to achieve the state of Moksha, without the support of external objects. This empowerment is eternal. 506. The Greatest Icon of Chastity (Mahasheel): With the complete absorption with the self, there are no desires whatsoever. This is the greatest form of chastity. 507. The Great Oblation (Mahayajna): In the process of realizing the pure soul, the greatest penance is practiced with complete self engrossment, thus sacrificing all desires for all times to come. 508. The Greatest Icon of Worship (Mahamakh): The pure soul remains the only icon of worship which ultimately leads to eternal bliss. 509. The Master of Greatest Vows (Mahavratapati): The greatest vows of absolute non-violence, truth, non-stealing, abstinence from sensuous activities and non-possession are the greatest ones because there can not be any other vows beyond this. In the state of engrossment with the self, these vows are automatically followed.
