Miracles, moment to moment and Miracles at times

December 5, 2009

Dear Mr Rao,

Sai Ram,

All these body functions are everywhere and so is sunrise/sunset, coming and going of seasons,our aging etc.The Sai given mind is very fickle and has been given capacity to doubt everything and many wise men say Trust But Verify.I see nothing wrong in that.I do not think Sai Baba is going to take any offence just because some one has doubts, solong as those doubts properl the individual to correct bonafide enquiries and send him towards path shown by Sai Baba.I remember being very doubtful abou Satya Sai Baba and not accepting Him as anything but a social worker and only Sai Baba as a Devine Avataar.After seeing lot of His Miracles in my Life now I have no doubt all the time, even when people try to shake my faith.This just human evolution.

I would therefore say everyone reaches His Kingdom from different ways/roads and Satya Sai Baba receives everyone with equal divine LOVE.

Sai Bless,

Dear Saibandhus,

Sai Ram.

Miracle:-- Several meanings exist for Miracle. 1. Occurrence of Extraordinary events by supernatural powers. 2. Unexplainable events that scientific experiments can't prove.

Great saints, Siddhapurushas,Avatars do certain acts which appear extraordinary to us. We can not explain how they happen?. We call these miracles. Creation of objects from air, telling the past and predicting the future, curing incurable diseases, Teleporting things and persons etc- - These are all commonly called Miracles. Hence when such things happen some atheists believe in some higher powers and their perception of God changes. Without any miracles such people won't believe in God. This is the reason for Swami showing innumerable numbers of and varieties of miracles since the time He has taken the present body. Swami has said, otherwise people don't believe in God and God's powers.

If we analyse deeply, do only the miracles confirm the existence of God.? The answer is an emphatic NO. Then what may be the reason for people to have faith on God, only if they witness some miracles?. The one and only reason is, people assume that miracles occur rarely and it is not a daily occurrence. If we tell this to God, He would smile and tell " My dear children , all these matters which you are seeing now is My miracle only; the eyes through which you see, the ears with which you hear, the nose with which you breath and smell, the mouth with which you eat, the tongue with which you speak, the hands with which you work, the legs with which you walk, and so many usefulness of all your internal and external faculties are absolutely My miracles only. Not only you, billions of human beings have been blessed with similar gifts. In fact all of you are my miracles only. Years before you were all small babies; and now you see, how you have grown up and every limb of your body grown proportionately. Is that not a miracle occurring continuously!! People themselves born of miracles crave for miracles!! What a wonder? Have you ever thought you couldn't have been living without the sun, moon, air, water, fire, vegetations, food grains and what not!! For your enjoyment i have created magnificient mountains and valleys, Trees, enchanting flowers and the whole world of different things. EVERYTHING I HAVE CREATED IS A MIRACLE. THERE IS NO END TO THEM.THEY ARE HAPPENING EVERY MOMENT, MOMENT TO MOMENT. But you don't realize that all these are My Miracles ; not understanding this you are asking to show some other miracles which i show you sometimes; really they are not miracles, once i do it they stagnate; but you see all the other real Miracles which are always changing every moment, so they remain very Fresh and Beauty."

The Miracles that i show to some people are due to MY Love on those particular people. But the other Miracles I AM doing continuously are due to MY abundant Love for the whole creation.These are not just Miracles. They are my loving gifts to the whole humanity. Sadly you don't realize this! . I have given all these, unasked by you out of my love and knowing that you can't lead life happily without them. Alas! you are asking quite different non-essential things.

Now some wisdom has dawn on us ,hence we pray: OH! My dear Lord, we don't wish any other miracles, we don't wish any other gifts. By Your Grace, now wisdom has dawned upon us. We pray, we want not the gifts, not the miracles; we want the Giver of gifts, we want the Doer of Miracles. At last God really smiles, nodding His head.

Dear Saibandhu Sri K.J.Shah,

Humble Pranams at the Lotus Feet of Bhagavan.

Sai Ram

Thanks for your email. Indeed you have rightly said that the mind is very fickle. It doesn't Trust the TRUTH, especially connected to God. It readily believes anything published in News-Papers about worldly matters. When Avatars give discourse, even then the fickle minds don't believe in the authenticity .But, if miracles are shown, then the scientifically oriented minds awaken to the Reality. Hence miracles are necessary. These miracles are microscopic. Swami's miracle at macroscopic level( Creation of the cosmos) is immeasurable and beyond ordinary grasp. Knowing the Microscopic level miracles, only elevates us to microscopic height and we are stuck there. And knowing Swami's Macroscopic level miracle, elevates us to beyond the Cosmos, beyond Duality because there is No-Mind at that stage and Adwaita is attained.

Prayers at the Lotus Feet of Bhagavan.

Sai Ram... this is so true! Swami has said again and again that these miracles are only to draw the people in. What keeps them in His circle is the love He showers on them. All of us are His miracles - this entire creation itself is His miracle! Why go after the gifts, when we can get the giver Himself!

This reminds me of an incident that had happened back in the early eighties, when my parents just started to live in Prashanti Nilayam. They were both convinced that they'd just live there for a year, build the buildings Swami had asked my father to build, and then return to his regular job. 25 years later, they're still there! In an early interview, my mother had asked Swami to bless her tiny Lakshmi pendant that she recently had got made by a jeweler. At that time she still had no clue what Swami was all about. Swami looked at it and said, "Kamadhenuvikkadunte coffee podi kosam aduguthunnavu" - "When the wish-fulfilling cow is here, you're asking for mere coffee powder". He was referring to Himself as the divine kamadhenu - the wish-fulfilling cow, and how we lowly mortals lose sight of that; our sights are so low, that we only wish for simple, lowly things. In a later interview, He materialized for her a

beautiful large gold necklace of Lakshmi, set amidst ebony beads, in an ebony bead necklace. But the bigger gifts He gave her over the years were His love, His compassion, His patience, His blessings, His protection.

A very nice article, Thank you!

Sai Ram and love,
