The greatest miracle
(In response to a question: Swamiji, can you please explain what part divinity plays in a miracle?)

Normally you understand three things - the person who does, second is the act and the third is the thing that is done; the doer, the act and the result. All these three things can be understood as three separate things in the normal plane. In the ultimate plane of reality, there are no three different things.
Here you are asking what part divinity plays in miracles. The very miracle itself is divinity! When you ask this question, you are asking for the cause, effect and the act - whether divinity is the cause, the act or the effect. In the language of divinity, these three different things do not exist separately.
Normally if I have to raise my hand,
first the brain has to give the order,
the order has to be carried to the
hand and the hand has to act. In the
language of normal human beings,
these three things have to exist -
head, hand and command. But in
divinity, all the three are one and the
same; they do not exist separately.
So the very divinity is a miracle.
Many people come and ask me who created the world. There is no creator. Please be very clear - Existence created itself. The universe is a self-created thing. The very creation itself is a creator. It is an Intelligence, continually being 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 things - creator, creation and created. There is just '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.
