Sakti: The Life Force
 

Then the Blessed One spoke and said: "Know, Vasettha, that from time to time a Tathágata is born into the world, a fully Enlightened one, blessed and worthy, abounding in wisdom and goodness, happy with knowledge of the worlds, unsurpassed as a guide to erring mortals, a teacher of gods and men, a Blessed Buddha. He thoroughly understands this universe, as though he saw it face to face, the world below with all its people, the worlds above, of Mara and of Brahma - and all creatures, Samanas and Brahmans, gods and men, and from that knowledge makes it known and teaches others. The Truth he proclaims in both its letter and in its spirit, lovely in its origin, lovely in its progress, lovely in its consummation. A Higher Life he makes known in all of its purity and in all of its perfect-ness." The Lord Buddha
