On legacy!
Dear ones, I’ve said million
times and yet I repeat – once again – “One is not great or spiritual because he
performs miracles. One performs miracles because he is great!”
And ‘great’ one is not because of miracles but because of his character or qualities of his nature which reflect one or few of qualities of the Divine. Like say
Jesus – forgiveness and love (not because he could heal or perform miracles)
Buddha – for his love for animals, trees and being balanced
Paramacharya – for showing no leniency towards self and working towards developing qualities that are required to develop purity of character in a person – say self-restraint etc
Paramahamsa – his highest levels of concentration that was the basis of his being successful in experiencing God through every path or devotion.
Purity, honesty, being truthful, self-restraint, being above any or many vices like anger, greed, judging etc are some of the qualities that reflect the ‘divinity’ through these personalities. That is what makes them ‘great’. Not their powers or abilities to perform such acts make them great!
