There
is no miracle
One man
went out of his village, and after ten years, he came back, advertised himself
that "I have become successful in yoga practice." So naturally
villagers surrounded him. "Oh, what yoga practice you have learned?"
"I can walk on the water." "Oh?" So the arrangement was
that he'll cross the river, walking on the water. One old man came and said,
"Sir, it is very wonderful, but it is two paise worth."
"Why?" "Now, you will walk and go the other side; I'll take a
boat, pay him two paise. I'll do the same thing. So what is your credit?"
So those who are actually intelligent men, they will question, "What
actual profit you have made?” Let us say you are a chemist and you combine acid
and base and you make smoke, an explosion or whatever. To somebody ignorant,
that's a miracle. But for everything there is a process, and so when you see a
miracle, it's just ignorance of the process. So-called transcendentalists who
have no real stock of knowledge they are fond of these miracles, and for the
most part, because the innocent public is generally foolish, therefore they
accept these magicians as saintly persons. So one who does not know these
things, they say, "Oh, these are all stories." It is not story. It is
no miracle. They are all possible. So there is no such thing as miracle. It is
a process of doing. One must know how to do it. There is no miracle. We don't
say anything miracle. The real knowledge means science or knowing everything
about something.
