Why didn't Mani Mekla help the Buddha as soon as she appeared, but instead spoke like a debilitating (mind test) before helping?

The story of the great people is the most profound reflection of the power of "perseverance." When the great people's ship was wrecked in the middle of the ocean, other passengers were desperate, some wept, some succumbed to fate, but the great man was wise and would not let life sink without fighting, he swam in the middle of the sea for days in a row, even without seeing the shore. At that time, Manimekla, the goddess of the ocean, saw the great man, but instead of rushing in to help, she asked in words that seemed to be encouraging.

"The vast ocean, what do you swim for when you have no way to land?"

This question is not of meanness, but of the test of the mind, of whether the Great One has true perseverance or is simply trying to have the hope of seeing the shore.

And the King answered with the words that became immortal:

"The work of the perseverant is to persevere, and even if he does not see the results, he must act with all his strength. When he is fully done, even if he dies, he has no regrets, because he has not forsaken his perseverance."

Another theme is

"As long as there is strength, we will not stop trying, will it succeed? It is another matter, but perseverance is the true defeat." This speech shocked Manimekla, because no man had ever been found with such a steady heart. He did not swim because he believed he would be saved, but swam because perseverance was his duty.

This is a true "miracle," not the help of gods, but the mind of humans who do not give up despite despair.

Seeing that the majesty of the universe was perfect, Manimekla praised him, and carried him up out of the ocean, and flew him to Mithila, the city where he had the right to reign. The arrival in Mithila was not only a survival, but a starting point for the majesty to reign and then rule the city with righteousness.

Why did Mani Mekla speak impatiently before helping?

In the superficial way, it may seem like she is aggravating the troublesome, but in Buddhism and Shadh literature, this action has a profound meaning: to test whether the perseverance of the great people is real.

To give the Great the opportunity to show the truth of the universe, to show that external help will come after men have done their best, to teach that "the noble does not rely on miracles, but creates miracles by not giving up."

So what she is testing is not arm or leg strength, but encouragement, because if she gives up before the gods help, it is difficult to be great.

The matter has now become one of the most important lessons of the public.

"Success does not start from seeing a destination, but from not stopping a step, even without seeing a destination."

This is why the verbal of the Great King is regarded as a "miracle verbal," because it can turn from the test of the goddess, into a declaration of the virtue of perseverance, which leads Him from the middle of the ocean to Mithila, and ultimately leads to the Just King.
