And after complete destruction of these five kinds. of obstructions to spiritual development you get free to secure these five types of gains. Thus Jin Mahavir is capable of giving us spiritual gain. Still such great saints do not actually give any tangible gains to us they only direct us to enjoy our real self when we have destroyed our obstructions in the way of our self-manifestation, then we live as our pure self eternally free and fearless. We experience the infinite soul strength that our self possesses eternally and Shri Jin helps us to realize our shining self as it shines in himself, and this is the eternal gain from Shri Jin and now there is no reason of our soul's separation from our self and so this gain is called Anantalabhalabdhi. We completely enjoy our eternal self without any possibility of our separation from it and so it is called Anantabhogupbhoglabdhi, and there is nothing which can make it difficult for our self to enjoy the soul strength or bring decrease in it by any adverse time and so the presence of eternal soul strength or self-power is called Ananta Virya labdhi.
Looking from the viewpoint of Kshayikbhava or complete destruction of all ghati karmas, the highest spiritual saints have acquired the above said special powers by their self-realization. Besides the above names five special acquisitions are described separately for clear understanding; otherwise all these five powers are covered in Anantha Viryalabdhi. The self realized Jin is capable of giving any pudgal substance to any body of his liking but as he is free from all likes and dislikes, he does not use his power at all, as he is totally non-attached to any thing or any person, and whatever spiritual instructions he has given is because of the rise in him of the previous desire of doing good to others - it is not resulting from any imperfection of the pure self.

OM Peace, Peace, Peace.
Vavania, Vaishakha Vad Fifteenth, V.S. 1956
Truly speaking the living body is the idol of miseries. From moment to moment the living soul suffers only pains and misery in it, with rare ease and general misery. One who rightly views it, fundamental misery principally in his life and even the physical viewer finds principally physical misery or pain in it. At proper time, the fructification of the past deeds of a living being brings him as a result, experiences of sorrow and suffering or miseries which cannot be avoided by either Indra or a king of heaven, moon as the luminary of earth, nagendra or the king of reptiles the cobra or even the Jinendra or Lord Mahavir the king of the Jain. When miseries mental or physical face any living being, he or it must suffer them either quietly or otherwise. Ignorant beings may bear them with tears in their eyes and cries of their incapacity to bear in them but thereby the seriousness of suffering them does not diminish at all nor do they go away. Right minded pesons peacefully bear miseries but thereby the miseries do not increase in their intensity but they do not give birth to further future miseries. These powerful miseries of the past
