Yoga

What is this phenomenon we refer to as miracles and healing that cannot be explained by medical science? Anything you don't understand, you call a miracle. Life happens in many different ways. You have limited yourself to just the physical, the logical - physical in experience, logical in thinking. 

Anything beyond this, you call it a miracle. That's why I keep reminding you that if there is a miracle, then everything in existence is a miracle; every atom is a miracle, isn't it?

Can you believe that a little atom — these three things rotating around each other — if you break it, it becomes an enormous bomb that can destroy the whole planet? Is it not a miracle?

Every atom is a miracle. Otherwise, there are no miracles and everything is just the way it is. It is natural. Whether you call it natural or miracle, it's the same thing; just different words. 

Anything that is not in your perception or your experience, you tend to call it a miracle. There are no miracles in the way you are thinking. 

It is that medical sciences are limited to just knowing the physical body. If anything happens beyond that, you think it's a miracle. The life energy in you created your whole body. These bones, this flesh, this heart, this kidney and everything. So if a part is damaged, can't it re-create it? If your energies are kept in full flow and proper balance, they are capable of recreating the physical.

Is all energy a vibration — just different frequencies of vibration? Is it gross energy versus subtle energy? Energy, if it vibrates, takes a form. Now you want to put a line between what is physical and what is beyond the physical. When you are talking about energy as modern science does, you're still talking about physical energy.

We refer to this as prana, which is the source of all physical creation. Beyond that also there is energy. The energy is not manifest as physical, but it is still energy. That's what we're calling as the etheric body and the bliss body or these days we are calling it nothingness.

Nothingness is bliss. It does not make sense logically. You can speak logically only up to pranamayakosha or the energy sheath or body, one of the five sheaths of yogic philosophy. Beyond that, it will not make logical sense.

How can nothingness be blissful? People feel depressed when they feel nothing. So that realm of going beyond karma cannot be approached logically. It's just that you understand that the physical contains something else. It's wrong to call it 'something' because it is no more a thing. We can use the word 'something' and all this 'thing' business only when it is physical.

So when we say 'nothing', probably you would understand it better if we put a hyphen between no and thing, because it is no-thing anymore, but still it is, so that is where logic ends.

That's where modern science ends — with the physical.

The whole spiritual process is to go beyond the physical, to know something that is not physical. That which is not physical has no dimension. That which has no dimension has no sense of here and there, now and then, nothing like that. 

Only the physical has here and there. Only the physical has now and then. That which is not physical does not subscribe to all these limitations.
