Trimantra
(parmanus) of mind, body and speech. A Tirthankara’s speech
is syaadvaad (speech that hurts no living being and is acceptable
to all) and inspires absolute bliss in all around.
The state of the arihant is a very elevated state indeed.
No one in the universe has such atoms. The highest quality of
atoms comes to be situated only in the body of a Tirthankar.
What a body! What speech! What a manifest form! Everything
about such a living being is absolutely unique and exquisite.
There is no comparison, so do not compare Him to anyone!
No one can be placed on the same level as a Tirthankar! That
is how great the manifest form of a Tirthankar Lord is! All the
twenty-four Tirthankars that existed were incomparable!
The Body Is The Only Difference
Questioner : Is the form of the arihant Lord the state
before moksha?
Dadashri : Yes, the arihant is the state before moksha.
The level of His knowledge is the same as that of the siddha,
but there is some bondage left for him. An analogy would be
of two men who are sentenced for sixty years in prison. One
is sentenced on the 1 st of January, and the other on the 3 rd of
January. The first man has been released since his term has
been completed. The other man will be released after two days
but essentially can he not be regarded as a free man? Such are
their levels.
Namo Siddhanam
Who are the other Gods?
Questioner : ‘Namo Siddhanam’.
Dadashri : Those who have become siddha from here,
those who no longer have a physical body and will not be
acquiring another body again. They are the ones who are
eternally in the state of the siddhas. I bow to such siddha Lords.
