Miracles

 why are we always wanting magic- magical healing, magical to remove my problems, magical powers of some monks or siddhars or some divine being. It is just laziness. everything happens slowly, the self changes slowly- materialistically and  mentally. 

Our systems follow the universal laws. You can do exercise until our country becomes a true democracy- still we cant run 100 mtrs under 8 seconds, or fly away. The physical has limits. Thats it. You can do whatever but you will hit the physical limit wall. There may be 100s of way to do exercises- but the bottom line is all have the same principles- from overload to practice.

 Well when it comes to mind, we suddenly lose our objective focus and start believe in the strange, fantastical and the supernatural. You ask any person with reasoning power- they will always think some "monk" some "rishi" or someone who lived long long ago- had some mystical power of the mind. They can heal by touching by mind may be the biggest of all. There can be fantastical stories of going into someone's else body to levitation- attributed to some mystic living in Himalayas or tibet and people will listen without asking for evidence, hell if you ask they may call vithanda vadham or iconoclastic. 

The other day i remembered hearing ramana had cancer. So i was reading about it- when the great man whos primary argument was the self is a illusion- took the whole think in his stride. He must of thought this is just the body. After requesting to get treatment and surgery performed on him- it did not go away. The great philosopher was dying. Well the masses who, i think like me have not understood a single word he taught- asked him to heal himself. That is our attitude- just because some one has transcended his self- he will be able to perform miracle. Ramana who was a non- dualist said where am i going to go. Well this is our attitude- a great man has to perform supernatural feats. Not just a great man with great ideas- he has to be miracle. It is not enough as they say in Buddhism- what will happens you lose your self? the remaining is just Karunai. That is what i think Ramana was- Just love- sadly the idiots like us cant see that miracle of just being just Karunai. we want miracle- like the sci-fi stories of Ramayanam, Gospels of Jesus and the life of the Prophet. Just want miracles

why? well it seems it all started with "jealously and show off". what sort of pious man if you have not lost those i dont know.  When we were children mostly the second child will have one of the coolest dialogue when you beat them up- you know i will bring my brother if he punches you - you cannot get up for a weak- he is such a strong guy. I was so worried the next day the brother would show up- well they never isnt it. Thats what happened- when you say my teacher taught me this and you are bullied into submission with a intellectual argument- you say- my teacher, my Guru can fly, can go into anyones body, he cannot die, he will sit and not eat for 1 year- that kind of things. It has never stopped,

The brain has no mystical powers. It can learn and it learns with time. As we now think all the systems are one- the brain body divide itself is artificial. it is just for our convivence. Training your mind cannot give you sudden mystical power to see into the void or into the future. It has to follow the principles of biology and physics. It cannot be beyond that just because we dont understand that. Just because some one lived in bronze age or beyond that- does not make them super man. What we become and do with your mind is all knowledge- knowledge with less bias, perceiving with less bias, be a good person to the society, and probably, just probably become a man of "karunai" - that should be more than enough to tell me what the value of life.
