Poems about Miracles

Only two miracles are worth seeing: 
The miracle of loving  
And  
The miracle of forgiving. 

~

The whole world is looking for miracles. 
Every day it is dying to see miracles.  
But can there be any miracle  
More challenging, more illumining
And more fulfilling  
Than to see and feel the infinite Beauty
Of my Beloved Supreme  
Inside this tinier than the tiniest
Gratitude-heart of mine?

~


Miracles were perhaps necessary  
At the very start  
Of your aspiration-life.  
But once you have successfully
Started your inner journey,
Not only are miracles unnecessary,
But they may hinder your speedy progress
Far beyond your imagination.

~

I do not need miracles, please. 
I do not even want  
To see miracles, please.
I need and expect only  
A crying heart and a smiling life.

~

Miracles are everywhere to be found 
When I surrender my infinite desires
To my immortal aspirations.

Question: Do miracles have any value?    

Sri Chinmoy: The greatest miracle is to remain for one extra second in a divine consciousness. If you can remain one second more in a divine consciousness, then that is the supreme miracle on earth. Miracles will not help you achieve God-realisation. Far from it. In fact, miracles can create all kinds of problems.  

There was once a Master who had occult power which attracted many disciples, but God told him to stop using it. Then he started telling his disciples that he had lost all his power, so that the miracle-seekers would leave him. Then he began a real spiritual life. The real miracle is to remain in the highest consciousness. It is not the miracles that Christ performed that compel the world to adore him, but the infinite Compassion and Love which he eternally embodies.
