However; the greatest miracle of NAMASMARAN is that through such easily identifiable “miracles” and through unidentifiable “miraculous grace” that springs from Guru; we get relieved from the bondage and burden of our urges, missions, rationality, hypotheses and anticipations and the associated vain glory or frustration; in short; ego! This is the beginning of true victory and true surrender, and takes us closer to the lotus feet of Guru! Truly this is the individual blossoming; and is inseparable from the universal blossoming!

2. Student: Sir, have you experienced any miracles of
NAMASMARANyourself?
Teacher: We think of miracles, as and when our
reasoning and logic are exhausted or we are desperate
and helpless. Miracle is a romantic and elevating idea of
short cuts to short term success or pleasure! It is natural
to have such ideas, get engrossed in them and derive
solace from them; at certain stages of development.
But; if miracle is the one, which does not fit in human
imagination or explanation, then it is indeed a miracle;
that “we” are amongstthose, who did not belong to the
category of still births; or those, who are still continuing
to breathe! Certainly no one can decide not to belong to
still births and no one can decide the time of death and
still continue to breathe beyond that point (possibly
barring some exceptions)! Similarly it is a miracle that
amongstthe breathing population, “we” are the ones
who are involved in NAMASMARAN!
Student: But this does not appeal to beginners like me!
Teacher: That is because; initially we are not aware of
the grandeur of the involvement in NAMASMARAN!

3. But to be straight forward; the answer to your question
is; while practicing NAMASMARAN;we go through
relatively minor and/or mundane experiences, which are
beyond human logic and explanation (hence considered
miracles); such as; being trapped and then saved from
life threatening situations, being severe physical agony
and then inexplicably cured of it, being in the threat of
and then relieved from defamation, being in dire
financial emergency and then getting sudden and
unexpected monitory help; and so on! But these are
debatable; as some people may call them coincidences or
accessible to human efforts.
However; the greatest miracle of NAMASMARANis that
through such easily identifiable “miracles” and through
unidentifiable “miraculous grace” that springs from Guru;
we get relieved from the bondage and burden of our
urges, missions, rationality, hypotheses and anticipations
and the associated vain glory or frustration; in short; ego!
This is the beginning of true victory and true surrender,
and takes us closer to the lotus feet of Guru! Truly this is
the individual blossoming;and is inseparable from the
universal blossoming!
