Miraculous Powers - not a way to reality

Filed under: quotes, Sanity !

Maharaja: You have met many anchorites and ascetics, but a fully realized man conscious of his divinity (swarupa) is hard to find. The saints and Yogis, by immense efforts and sacrifices, acquire many miraculous powers and can do much good in the way of helping people and inspiring faith, yet it does not make them perfect. It is not a way to reality, but merely an enrichment of the false. All effort leads to more effort; whatever was built up must be maintained, whatever was acquired must be protected against decay or loss.

Whatever can be lost is not really one’s own; and what is not your own of what use can it be to you? In my world nothing is pushed about, all happens by itself.

(Nisargadatta Maharaja, I AM THAT, "Whatever pleases you, Keeps you back")
