Miracle Vs divine knowledge

Miracle Vs divine knowledge

By miracles the existence of God is indicated and the miraculous knowledge gives the address of God (Jnanitvatmaiva…Gita, Prajnanam Brahma…Veda). Among the knowledge, love and bliss, knowledge is the most important sign since only knowledge can guide the soul to the goal. Expression of mere love or bliss or both cannot indicate God like the miracles. Without the proper realization, determination and practice will not materialize and without practice no fruit exists. Mere love can be seen even in a prostitute or a beloved darling who even sacrifices life for your sake. Such love does not guide you to the goal in the spiritual path and it dips you more in worldly bonds.

Similarly, you can see bliss in drunkard or similar persons smoking and taking drugs. They cannot guide you in the spiritual path because mere love and mere bliss cannot give you any realization and determination to practice. Hence, persons who are simply performing miracles and persons who are simply expressing reasonless love and bliss without clearing your doubts and without showing the correct path through perfect analysis are not the real human incarnations. Sometimes God incarnates only exhibiting the miraculous power to destroy evil forces and such incarnations (Matsya, Narasimha, Vamana etc.,) disappear immediately as soon as the purpose is over.
