Why do you expect miracles?

Why do you expect miracles, and why are you so convinced they would change the way you live? No, you would quickly forget and return to your prosaic life. In the past there were initiates who worked wonders. Those who witnessed them were of course impressed for a while, but it did not stop them from amusing themselves, committing crimes or even burning the person who performed these miracles. Jesus worked miracles before an awe-struck crowd, and yet not long after they had received him triumphantly in Jerusalem, shouting: 'Hosanna to the son of David!' This same crowd cried out: 'Crucify him!'

Miracles often serve only to entertain the public. You must seek true miracles in the rising sun, in a flower as it opens, in the smile of a child, or in the human being as the Creator conceived him. But it is the transformation of the human heart that is the greatest miracle, because it is the most difficult to perform.

-Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov
