Do You show miracles only if someone expresses true and aspiration-free devotion to You?

[An online spiritual discussion was conducted on March 21, 2021, in which several devotees participated. The questions of devotees answered by Swāmi are given below.]

[A question asked by Smt. Anita Renkuntla.]

Swāmi replied: Any human being can perform any miracle provided the omnipotent God wishes to exhibit that miracle through that person. All the credit of performing the miracle goes only to the omnipotent God. When God merges with a human being, such human being is called an Incarnation. The miracle performed by the Incarnation is done by the wish of the God merged in that human being and not by the wish of the human being. Even if God has not merged with a certain human being, that human being can still perform a miracle, due to the person’s devotion to God. The performer of the miracle is just a medium, like the metallic wire carrying the electric current. It is the electric current and not the metallic wire which moves the fan or lights up the lamp. The miracle is an unimaginable event and it can be performed by the unimaginable God alone.

The first Energetic Incarnation called God Datta always contains the merged unimaginable God. Hence, God Datta alone is the ultimate performer of all the miracles that are performed through various devotees and Incarnations at any place and time. Since externally, the performer of the miracles appears to be the devotee, the devotee gets the credit for performing the miracle. God Datta, the actual performer of the miracle gives the credit to His devotee. However, the devotee should pass the credit back to God Datta, without falling into the trap of ego.
