The True Miracle of Life

People keep asking me, “Sadhguru, all the other gurus are claiming all kinds of miracles. You are not doing any miracle, why?”A miracle means you must pull a rabbit out of a tissue box! At least you can use a tissue, but what will you do with the rabbit? Recently I happened to have some time before a meeting, so I decided to go swimming.

After swimming we met for lunch and one of the people said, “I saw you swimming in the pool.” I said, “Were you expecting me to walk upon water?” He said, “No, but you were swimming!” I said, “Yes, I swim in the water, walk upon the earth. Do you want it another way?” Land is good enough for walking, isn't it?

If you start walking on water, where will you swim? Somewhere, we are missing the essence of life by getting diverted by all kinds of fanciful things and silly things have been passed off as great. But let me tell you about my miracle. I can show you hundreds of people around me for whom not a single day passes without tears of bliss flowing from their eyes.

This is my fortune, that people around me are shedding tears of bliss around me wherever I go. I can show you people for whom not a single moment of irritation or agitation have come in them in many months. I think this is the miracle that the world needs.

Anything that is not in people’s perception or understanding, they call it a miracle. Life happens in many different ways. People have limited themselves to just the physical and the logical – physical in experience, logical in thinking.

Anything beyond this, they call it a miracle. There are no miracles, at least in the way people are thinking. If there is a miracle, then everything in existence is a miracle. Every atom is a miracle. Otherwise, there are no miracles and everything is just the way it is. It is natural. Whether you call it natural or miracle, it is the same thing.

The true miracle of life is not in you doing something, but in you realising that it is already a big miracle. Everything here is magical. If you eat a banana, or a piece of bread, or a fish, it becomes a human being over an afternoon.

What more miracle do you want? All of you are performing the miracle. The only problem is that it is happening unconsciously. If you could consciously make a banana into a human being, you are the very Creator, isn't it?

Either you exist as the Creator or you exist as a piece of creation. If you live on the surface, you live as a piece of creation. If you go little deeper, you exist as the Creator. That is the choice every human being has.
