13. Divinity is Miracle

We have heard enlightened Masters reassure us that miracles do happen. We often question the role of divinity in miracles.
Let us analyze this with an example. Let us examine a simple act like raising the hand. First, the brain has to give the order; the hand has to understand the order and execute it. In our ordinary knowledge and understanding, three things have to exist before this can happen: head, hand, and the command. In a normal plane of living, we understand every act as being composed of three things: the doer, deed, and the result. Logically we can understand any action if these three are presented to us.
In the ultimate plane of reality, the level at which divinity operates, these are not three different things. When we ask what part divinity plays in miracle, we miss the subtle point here. The very miracle itself is divinity. When we question the role of divinity, we are asking for cause, effect and the act. We want to know whether divinity is the cause, the act or the effect. In the language of divinity, these three different things do not exist.
Normally if we have to raise our hand, first the brain has to give the order, the order has to be carried to the hand and the hand has to act. The language of normal human beings separates unity and says that three things have to exist: head, hand and command. But in divinity all the three are one and the same and do not exist separately. So the very divinity is a miracle.
Many people ask, ‘Master who created the world?’
Understand! There is no creator. Please be very clear: Existence created itself. The universe is a self created entity. The very creation itself is a creator. It is Intelligence, continually created.
It is a little difficult to understand. It is just the ‘creating’: the process is continuously going on because of its own intelligence. There are no three separate things: creator, creation and created. There exists one thing-- creating: a self expression of intelligence.
So, in any miracle- the miracle itself is divine. The cause for miracle is divinity, the happening is divinity and the result is also divinity. The three things are not separate: divine, miracle and divinity.
Understand this single truth. Follow this path of inquiry. It will lead to ultimate bliss, Nithyananda.
