When the self is in communion with a higher power, nature automatically obeys the will of man.
The command over nature is called a miracle as comprehended by the materialist.
But the miracles done by the materialists are those experienced by them from the existing mortal body.
In respect of the saints and yogis, due to meditation, they attain certain powers (siddhis), which the public feel delightful and thus they used to consider them as super human beings and pay respect.
This fanaticism has penetrated deep in the world and is now heading towards utter chaos.
It is entirely a different one with the Adigalar.
Strictly speaking he never wished to do it nor tempted to do so. He did not cherish any selfish wish therein.
On the other hand, he did not use for any selfish design the enormous powers he acquired and attained through the Lord’s Grace.
This is clearly disclosed by him in one of the poem, his intercession to the Lord to give him the power and strength to serve all in their sufferings. In another place, he has strictly warned against doing miracles and instructed others not to have any faith on miracle-doers.
Though these earnest prayers were accepted by the Lord, yet his whole aim was directed towards the Inner Light, as it was the origin for all such achievements.
His experience of the Lord in the form of effulgent Light enabled him to become “an embodiment of compassion”
He also says that he does not feign to have attained these powers out of an instinct for self-praise, but acquired them only out of true devotion to the Lord.
In short, it can be said that he had no attraction for the worldly happenings.
His ultimate wish was only to hallow the name of the Lord through service to all souls.
Further his sincere wish was that the entire humanity should get rid of all sorts of violence and follows the path of love to live a Blessed life.
Hence when he was empowered to perform anything he liked, he construed it to be the command of the Grace Light only.
The following pages will depict some of his wonder workings and unless they are studied in the light of the above observation the real truth underlying therein could not be elicited.
