Miracles are part of the duality. Without duality miracles are impossible. Belief in miracles makes one remain in the prison of physicality. Miracle man is neither a mystic nor a Gnani, just an ordinary magician. This miracle based god men are hypocrites because they know nothing of ultimate truth. They declares themselves as great Gnanis. They build super - specialty hospitals in the name of serving people, it means they do not have power to cure people without the hospitals. All their concern to people and good work has to be appreciated and they deserve to be glorified for their noble deeds, but not for their miracle power. In the realm of truth miracles are part of the illusion.
People go and seek god men , to fulfillment of their desire and dreams thinking he has the power to fulfill all his desire . people think he can produce things out of air, he can do anything, so a deep affinity happens immediately. That's why thousands of people around these god men waiting with their begging bowl ,without realizing the fact that, the god men himself is the beggar ,who accepts the money from everyone.
In the presence a Gnani , one will not see multitudes there, because there is no affinity because he is ordinary householder. He never claims himself a Gnani. He wears no religious robes. He never speaks of god , nor he invokes anyone in the name of god and religion. He only tries to guide others. He never imposes any one to accept his thoughts. Only advanced souls will recognize him.
This religious based gurus has an appeal deep inside the mass. People think he is the right man. He is right man for those who follow the path of blind beliefs. But wrong choice for those who are seeking after the truth. No one can decide who is the right man, because people create their own deceivers, they give them the opportunity. They follow magicians, snake charmers, blind believers ,and the people with religious robes but not to the man of truth, because mass is not after truth, they are after things.
If one really seeking the truth , then he has to drop ignorance. To drop ignorance he has to drop all his beliefs. Seeker has to start a fresh dropping all his accumulated knowledge. one has to seek truth with no beliefs and no accumulated knowledge in order to acquire Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. Most of the God men , Gurus , yogis and intellectuals who are pretending to be Gnanis are mere pretenders not Gnanis.
All kinds of frauds... but people become interested in them, thinking that here is a man of miracles. And what is the use of this miracle power from which the violence and terrorism happening around the globe cannot be stopped.
In pursuit of truth there is scope for miracles. The three state itself a miracle. Whatever is happening between the three states is miracle. It is a beauty, it is magic, but it is all spontaneous. It is not practiced, it is not rehearsed. But most people are interested in supernatural powers, healing people with supernatural powers, or creating things out of nothing, just as these God men is doing. It is so simple that any street magician can do it. In fact the more experienced street magicians can do it in a far better way, and can do many more things than he is doing.
The great magician David Blain performs all sorts of magic but he never claims himself as god. These god men perform mere magic, which they claim as miracles. Even if they perform real miracle , it cannot be accepted as truth because they are performing them within the illusion.
People are in no mood to verify the facts, they think people who talk against the god men are senile or an Atheist.
All that god men produces is things, and he gives people things, not wisdom, and they think it is great. The magicians are pretending to be a spiritual personality. It is not only a question of a single person pretending to be spiritual when he is not. The question is that he attracts thousands of people, and people who are seeking after truth, who believe that this God men of miracles may impart something to them, may lead them to the ultimate truth.
Believers are not seeker of truth. Because the truth is not belief. Belief is the greatest obstacle in pursuit of truth. Once one accepts the belief he cannot come out of the physical shackles.
The religious people wants miracles ,they are not interested in truth. They go to god men because truth is not the question there -- miracles are happening. They can hope. They think the god men , by his miracle, can take their worldly troubles away. And by his blessing they will become rich. They go to god men because he deals in things which they need. their real object is they want what they need. This miracle games has no value at all, of no spiritual value at all.
The attachments, burden and bondage of the worldly life is so intoxicating that even if one go towards seeking truth he look for miracles. If he finds a man of truth standing before him , he will not recognize him. If man of truth and god men are both present he will definitely move towards god men, and not towards man of truth, because man of truth does not perform any miracles.
People are in search of god men nor man of truth. People are impressed by miracles, because their deepest desire is for the worldly things and not for truth.
