Freedom from emotional and conceptual defilements
This is the major reason why Buddhism does not consider a yogi with mighty powers equal to an Arhat or a Bodhisatwa or a Buddha.
Now there is also a sixth Abhigya which is considered the last and the highest Abhigya but not part of the five we have talked about so far. All the above five Abhigyas are lower Abhigyas and are considered lowly in all forms of Buddhism. But this last Abhigya, called Asrava Cchaya Gyana (knowledge of the extinction of the outflows) is considered the real Abhigya (or Siddhi – Riddhi) in Buddhism.
Asrava means the outflow of mental defilements (emotional and conceptual defilements). When we have emotional and conceptual defilements they are always flowing out from our subconscious mind through verbal or non – verbal expression. These Asravas remain even in yogis who have attained high Samadhis and various Riddhi Siddhis Praatiharyas.
This is the major reason why Buddhism does not consider a yogi with mighty powers equal to an Arhat or a Bodhisatwa or a Buddha. Even such a yogi, no matter how charismatic and mind boggling, still has not destroyed the Asravas. Only an Arhat, an 8 th Bhumi (level/stage) Bodhisatwa and above, and the Buddha who is

Marshland Flowers Part 5
If you understand the principle of how Samsara (the flow of the world system) continues like a wheel with no beginning in sight (meaning no beginning) and no end without being created by One Universal First Cause or God (Ishwar), it is easy to understand why Buddhism does not believe in a First Principle or a First Cause or a Creator God called Ishwor in Hinduism, even though it does believe in the existence of gods and goddesses or Dieties, who live in the heavenly realms called Deva Lokas or Swargas. But the concept of Devi-Devatas in Buddhism has an important difference from Hinduism. Within Hinduism, gods and goddesses are more or less eternal beings who live up there and are always gods. But like all things within Hinduism which is normally a conglomeration of millions of elements, even the concept of gods and goddesses are not homogeneous but manifold and sometimes even contradictory. Nonetheless, we can safely say that as a whole the average concept of gods and goddesses within Hinduism is that they are eternally existing powerful beings who will always remain as gods and goddesses who are manifestations of the One and only God. They are not beings(pranis/satvas) like us who too will die and be reborn like us). But it must be said that in som
