🌻 Miracles 🌻

Creation exists in a state of ignorance, and any happening created by ignorance is an addition to the ignorance.

In the state of ignorance, man finds a beautiful moon and glorious stars, a radiant sun, flowing rivers, great mountains, delicate flowers with lovely fragrances, and so forth, and man says that they are beautiful, majestic. Man is attracted toward beauty and he feels happy when he sees beauty, so intellectually and aesthetically he calls nature beautiful.

But, man is also attracted to the supernatural and he is even more attracted to it when he finds someone doing some extraordinary things.

These extraordinary happenings are producing a so-called holy ash out of air, producing miraculous healings of the afflicted, forcing trains to stop, or the ability to live on air, and so forth. Man always thinks that those miracle workers have some extraordinary powers given by God.

Other men even go to the extent of accepting these miracle-workers as God, and at that moment man forgets that creation is in ignorance and such feats are nothing but additions to his state of ignorance.

These miracle-workers are tantrics, known as sorcerers or magicians, who develop their ability by drawing upon the subtle energy through some incantation, ritual, or exercise. There are tantrics in India who can reduce their own human body and transform themselves into an ant.

There are others who can discard their own bodies and enter into dead bodies of human beings or animals, and thereby make the dead bodies alive! But this is all a show, whether it is at a carnival in India, or on television in America.

These happenings are all in the ignorance that prevails the gross world. This is not a spiritual achievement, it is a regression. This is not spiritual power; it is tantric power and it reflects the condition of ignorance.

When anyone experiences the subtle planes, he obtains spiritual powers.

But this is not an ordinary man, he is a yogi or mast. The great yogi of the fourth subtle plane, known as Kuber, can actually give life to the dead, but without transforming or discarding his own body.

Kuber is someone who has become a great yogi, but no one can be around this man, because whatever Kuber gazes upon turns to dust; therefore, no other human being can live around him. If Kuber raises the dead it is by his own spiritual power, but though the power is genuinely spiritual, it is of the subtle state of ignorance.

Kuber does not attract masses. If the occult power of a tantric is used to attract masses or for some show, it is truly nothing but an addition to the grossest state of ignorance.

Avatar Meher Baba has stated, "One who knows everything, displaces nothing." All these miracles which we find in the world today, and which attract the masses, are simply more of illusion and the masses gain nothing.

Then what is a real miracle? It is when someone makes one blind to illusion and gives sight to see God! This is a true miracle, and such a miracle is worth witnessing.
