Do miracles also have logic which ordinary souls cannot understand?

[Smt. Chhanda Chandra asked: Padanamskaram Swami, following verse from Autobiography of a Yogi "The so-called miraculous powers of a great master are a natural accompaniment to his exact understanding of subtle laws that operate in the inner cosmos of consciousness" Does it mean that the miracles are also having logic which we, ordinary souls cannot understand but the Human incarnations can? If so then it means that miracles are also scientific. Please explain this. At Your divine lotus feet, Chhanda.]

Swami replied:- Several people express several opinions regarding the concepts in the spiritual knowledge and unless you have Vedic proof, you shall not take it as standard. In the Veda, it is told that God plays with the help of His unimaginable power called Maayaa and such unimaginable events are called miracles (Vibhuuti). The meaning of the word ‘Maayaa’ is wonder (maya-vaicitrye) due to failure of logic in such unimaginable and perceived event. Only God has such wonderful power as said in the Veda (māyinaṃ tu Maheśvaram). The unimaginable God or Parabrahman is indicated by such miracles, which are unimaginable events. The idea of miracles is to show that God is beyond worldly logic.
