A man was ill and taken to a saint known to perform miraculous cures. He was not impressed to see that the saint was unwell. So he asked, “Why don’t you perform a miracle and cure yourself? You have cured so many, why not do it on yourself?”
The saint smiled and said in a faint voice, “If the Divine wishes, miracles happen. I do nothing!”
In this short story lies the essence of miracles. They are a form of surrender.
When the ego dissolves, miracles manifest effortlessly. Miracles do not happen on the bidding of the ego. Rather they reflect the Divine will.
When our every breath is completely surrendered to the Divine then every breath becomes a miracle.
Ordinary thing happening around us seems like a dance of miracles. Obstacles dissolve and doors that were shut in our face fly open.
“Miracles are what happens when you get out of the way of yourself.” -Brad Szollose
