Guest guest Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 Namaste Alan and all On the subject of Siddhis. Even as a saint is firmly dwelling in the self, his prarabdha karma is done through his body, mind and intellect equipment. Is it possible that the higher power which thus performs actions, use siddhis or miracle powers while for example addressing the problems of disciples and devotees. I know Bhagwan never presented his Siddhi powers for others to perceive or discuss, but, I know of other saints, like Jesus, like Shirdi Sai Baba where miraculous happenings manifested and touched their followers in tangible ways. Thus, in the case of a seeker, should the siddhi powers start manifesting around, should he worry and make efforts to avoid them or should he let them just happen and watch disinterestedly in the knowledge that he is not the doer? I hope I am not hopelessly mixed up. Many thousand namaskarams to all atma vicharins Sridhar RamanaMaharshi, Alan Jacobs <alanadamsjacobs> wrote: > > > TRUTH REVEALED (Cont'd) > > > > 35.
