Wait, one part of this don’t make sense.

Under the “Limitations” section, one pointer is written as “The user has to be pure in order to possess this ability or purge themselves from impure thoughts.”

Then the sub-pointer under that pointer states, “Note that this doesn’t mean Good or Nice, as several demons and evil entities/beings achieved Enlightenment in Hindu Mythology.”

Given that I myself am a practitioner of Hindu religion and I know of the various mythological characters demonic or otherwise from the stories, parables, epics and other tales presented in the myths, I don’t know much of or ever heard of demons and evil entities having attained Enlightenment. Does the writer of this particular superpower page have any evidence and research to back up the statements made in the sentences I mentioned?

Also, how does not being “Good” or “Nice” (I.e. righteous conduct) not affect the attainment of Enlightenment? I believe that all or at least most religions and spiritual traditions have a particular phase for an aspirant striving for Nirvana/Moksha where the person follows a strict code of morality and righteousness before they attain actual Enlightenment. The “pure” and “impure” thoughts mentioned too hold what duality in regard? (like what does the person who wrote this consider pure or impure)
