Words From The Master - 16 April 2008

The real miracle

The moment we hear the word miracle, we become excited. What do we call a miracle? When we don’t know the cause-effect relationship between certain things that happen, we use the word miracle, that’s all.

For example, a bell is placed on a table. If I hold it in my hand in front of you, it is normal; you see it, you don’t say anything. But if the bell suddenly, comes out of nowhere, and falls into my hand without my having done anything, then you will call it a miracle. You become excited. Because you don’t know the cause-effect relationship in what you saw, you call it a miracle. You don’t know what caused the bell to ‘make its way’ into my hand, and so you call it a miracle. Actually, there is no miracle. Let me explain how these things work.

What is actually happening is teleporting. The bell, which is matter, is converted into energy, transported in space. Then it converts back into matter, that’s all. When you don’t comprehend this science, you think it is a miracle. But a real miracle is not happening.

Real miracles are happening around us all the time but we don’t see them because we are too busy searching for things that we think are miracles. Turning Man into God is a miracle.

Our body itself is a miracle. Turning one piece of bread into blood is the real miracle. An experiment was conducted in the US to convert bread into blood with the help of machinery. What a miraculous system our body is.

The power of coincidence is another miracle – we experience this so many times without even knowing it. For example, we think of someone, and suddenly, that person appears before us. Or, we may call up someone, and the person says he was about to call you. This is nothing but the power of coincidence. These are the real miracles. These are the events that reveal the beautiful harmony of the whole show.

If we can see these miracles, life becomes beautiful. But what do we do instead? We take these things for granted. We think they happen by chance. We are so out step with the grand show that is going on and we keep looking for other miracles of the materialistic kind. But when you fall in line, material wealth comes to you naturally.

Conviction and awareness are needed. You must feel that you are a part of it. Be grateful all the time; grateful towards all of Existence, not just towards a person. That is enough. You will soon become aware of the real miracles.

When you understand and enjoy these miracles around you, life becomes an eternal celebration and you flow effortlessly like a river.

Be happy.
