Guest guest Posted November 21, 1999 Report Share Posted November 21, 1999 Namaste Brothers and Sisters, How do Sai Baba, Jesus and other Yogis perform miracles and manifestations? That is rings, solid gold statues, vibhuti, heal the sick, raise the dead etc? It has nothing to do with vampirising energy, from others etc. It all has to do with risen awareness and consciousness. I personally practice yoga but have no desire to acquire or practice any Siddhis, even though I am aware they are there. Jesus said,' all power comes to he who has overcome', or close enough. Patanjali in his Yoga-Sutra, chapter on Vibhuti-pada goes into this quite a lot. Talking of Samyama, or intense concentration and meditation on an object or desire. In order to acquire siddhis, however intense yogic discipline is required. Sai Baba says that anyone can materialise objects, we all have the same potential. He says it is a matter of meditation and intense detailed visualisation. There is no need to take energy from elsewhere. All is one and the energy is one! The level of one's consciousness determines the power or Yogic-Siddhis. So the more one becomes everything the more one can manifest anything. The siddhis themselves are a distraction to spiritual advancement, except in a Perfected Master. Around such people miracles happen spontaneously, for what they think instantly happens and what they say, must happen. A big miracle is how a seed becomes a big tree or an animal etc. Everything is a miracle the only difference is Kala or time taken, that's all. Many people have psychic powers at the lower level but these can be obtained by opening even the lowest chakras and mean little, spiritually. However some non-yogic types also use spirits, who help them manifest and apport. The lower planes are full of spirits, pretas, captive souls etc, from the time immemorial and from the Aztecs etc. Not including ancient 'thoughtforms', that have built up and can influence men's minds. By their deeds we shall know them! However most of the manifestations and miracles are usually of a lower order than those of Masters. As Swami says, 'people come for tinsel and trash they don't come for what I have come to show, Liberation itself'. Love and Sai Ram, Tony. ===== http://members.xoom.com/aoclery/ (glossary incl?)
