If you have within you the qualities of a bull, a donkey, or a tiger, that's the image you project on the outside. Whatever quality is inside, you exhibit the same quality on the outside, and then you take pride in that trait. As your thoughts give more and more energy to the illusions you harbor about yourself, you give reality to them by acting them out and admiring what you've done. If you are harboring any demonic or ghost-like qualities, you act them out by performing various miraculous feats. But using these occult powers is just a manipulation of the energies belonging to the five elements. Such feats are not true miracles. Flying in the sky or walking on water are the actions of birds and fish, not the work of human beings. The crane stands on one foot for eight hours merely to catch a fish, so if you stand on one leg for eight hours, is that a miracle, or is it just a yoga technique? The snake lives in a hole in the ground, holding its breath for months, so if you hold your breath for inordinate amounts of time, is that a miracle? That too is just yoga. You are simply exhibiting the actions of birds and animals. Certain insects and animals and even plants possess a natural camouflage to hide them from the eyes of others, so if you make yourself invisible to others by tying up their eyes with hypnosis, is that a miracle? Germs and viruses and cells are invisible to the naked eye, and they can enter a body undiscerned, so if demonic and ghost-like energies enter a body without a man's even knowing it, is that a miracle? To walk on fire, to shoot up into the sky and reach the moon, to go from one body into another—these are not great wonders. None of these things are real miracles. To become a true human being is a miracle. To become a good person is a miracle. To become a wise person is a miracle. For the flower of the heart to bloom is a miracle. For fragrance and light to come into that flower is a miracle. For a human being to find peace, equality, tranquility—that is a true miracle. That is the work of a true human being. If you can become such a being, that will be a wonder, and all lives will bow in awe to that wonder. You will be able to understand everything. That knowing will come from within yourself. To reach this station is the real miracle. Reflect on this. October 14, 1981
