Where he sat for meditation, calf would drink milk from lioness and cub would drink milk from cow
When, in an outrage, a villager started piercing nail into his ears, he stood still and calm, engrossed into dhyana
Gender inequality was abolished by him in his era. In his divine pavillion (Samavasaran), where his divine discourses were held, women ascetics and householders held respectable position
He removed caste system and uplifted the oppressed
Most importantly,
He showed the path of liberation, and taught right perception, right knowledge and right conduct; which was also propounded by his 23 predecessors, but was lost with time.
Such was his aura. Who says humility isn't a winner? Once we know our true identity is the soul, every illusion gets discarded. Through his teachings and exemplary life, we continue to aspire the path he took.
Ever indebted to Bhagwan Mahaveera.
Happy Mahaveera Jayanthi ๐๐ผ
