“The Miracle is not to walk on water. The Miracle is to wake on the Green Earth in the present moment, to appreciate the peace and beauty that’s available now.” Thich Nhat Hanh
What is a Miracle according to you?
To bring out dust after rubbing the hands or to walk on water or thin air or to produce pigeons out of a closed box.
Normally, we think of them as Miraculous acts because they are not common. A specific skill is required to do these kinds of tricks. But when we talk in the sense of Spirituality these are mere expertise which one can get after going through some practices.
Spiritually, the Miracle is to be in PRESENT, to be in the present state of Mind. Because that is the most difficult act according to me. And that’s because the mind goes on oscillating in the past and future.
A miracle is to recognize the Blue Skies, Flowing Water, Flowering of Trees, Blooming of Vegetation, a Child growing in the Mother’s Womb, the Clouds giving Rains and the tons of Fruits & Vegetables that the Earth produces for all of us. Miracles are the moments when a child runs up in order to get into the lap of his Mother. Miracle is when the same sky turns into dark when there is night from the bright sunshine which was there a few hours ago. All of these are Miracles.
