26. Mysteries Of The Universe Are Miracles

Precognition is a common experience for most of us.

Let us say for example, that we feel that a particular person is about to call us. Sure enough, when the phone rings, that person will be on line!

Suppose we are watching the television show. Suddenly, we know what the character will say next. Sure enough, that character mouths the words as if to oblige us.

Another experience: let us assume that we are ready for dinner. Precisely then, the doorbell chimes. Even before we open the door, we know who is at the door. We expect a friend we haven't seen in years. Sure enough the friend is at our doorstep!

In my discourses, I often ask the audience if they have experienced something similar at some point in time in their lives. Over 50% of the audience confirms having had this experience every time.

When it happens, we ignore it. In fact, most of the time, we brush it aside as a coincidence. When this happens repetitively with a person, we attach the tag 'gifted'. In fact, we attach 'gifted' label to those who see auras and sense the vibrational energy of people and places.

For any experience to be termed as a 'gift', the magnitude and frequency of the experience should be consistent. It should be far greater than mere chance for us to stop calling it a coincidence.

In real life, we come across people making many predictions and forecasts. Some can accurately predict disasters, time and again; others give exact forecasts of deaths; many can heal people, who have been given up by doctors; some can produce substances out of thin air. We have a single word for all of these happenings - miracles.

We differentiate between coincidences and miracles depending on the degree of unexpectedness of the incident. These incidents, where we don't see the causal linkage, we call miracles. Scientific laws cannot explain miracles. When Science cannot explain a phenomenon, it is simply labeled as barbaric or miraculous.

There are no miracles in life. It is simply that we don't yet understand the laws that govern occurrence of such incidents, which seem to defy 'scientific' laws.

First, we need to accept and understand that the universe supports laws that go beyond the 'scientific' laws discovered by humans. This basic acceptance will lead us to the next level, to understand the cause and effect linkages behind many of these inexplicable happenings. Then, we begin to deeply appreciate the mysteries of this grand universe.
