“Dear Rick,

I've never thought math was a miracle. The things we study simply are. They were the rules of the universe before we were here to understand them. They operate the world behind the curtain, whether we look behind it or not. The rules are already there. Music is a miracle. It adds something to the world that didn't have to be here. Language is a miracle. Every sentence ever spoken and every song ever sung is a new invention. Not only do they add something new to the world, they transmit thoughts and emotions that would otherwise be locked within one person. I hear a song and feel something a composer felt 200 years ago. I read your letter and hear your voice saying the words. I feel you in the room with me. That's the miracle.”
― Ethan Chatagnier, Singer Distance

― Laurie E. Smith, Soul Wisdom: A Guide to Miraculous Living

“Making the decision to honor the wisdom of one's soul isn't always easy. It can bring into question our very sense of who we are. If we really listen to the truth bubbling up beneath the surface of our lives, things might change. We might have to face the fact that our inner wisdom and that which we have come to accept as true, safe and popular may be very different--a process that can be rather disconcerting, to say the least.”
― Laurie E. Smith, Soul Wisdom: A Guide to Miraculous Living

“Something happens when we listen to the soul. The soul gets ecstatic. It's almost as if, after being ignored for so long, our truest, divine self is delighted to finally be noticed and will do anything to keep the relationship humming along.”

“Like those before him, he holds on to the hope of a miracle. He doesn't realise that, to them, he is not human. He is an everyday, ten-a-penny object. And it doesn't really matter how carelessly you treat an everyday object, because if it breaks, it is easily replaced. That's what will happen to him. It might take them weeks or months, but eventually, another one just like him will come along. One always does.”

“(Η ανάληψη της Ωραίας Ρεμέδιος...) Η Ούρσουλα, σχεδόν τυφλή πια, ήταν η μόνη που είχε την ψυχραιμία να αναγνωρίσει τη φύση εκείνου του ανεπανόρθωτου ανέμου κι άφησε τα σεντόνια στο έλεος του φωτός, κοιτάζοντας την Ωραία Ρεμέδιος, που την αποχαιρετούσε κουνώντας το χέρι της, μες στο εκθαμβωτικό φτερούγισμα των σεντονιών που υψώνονταν μαζί της, που εγκατέλειπαν μαζί της τα σκαθάρια και τις ντάλιες και διέσχιζαν μαζί της τον αέρα, όταν ήταν πια τέσσερις το απόγευμα, και χάθηκαν μαζί της για πάντα ψηλά στην ατμόσφαιρα, εκεί που δεν μπορούσαν να την φτάσουν ούτε τα πιο υψιπετή πουλιά της μνήμης.”
― Gabriel García Márquez, One Hundred Years of Solitude

“On the journey toward our dreams, sometimes we get scared, sometimes we doubt. Sometimes, life gets in the way. Then something happens, something beautiful that can seem beyond our control. Often, it's a miraculous synchronicity, a glorious happening that falls into our path, giving us that last piece of something we need. It can also be as if we wake up and all the energy, gumption and momentum we had been seeking for so long crests and carries us forward. Suddenly, we are ready to partner with the divine.”

“Passing through this door [between the material world and the spritual world, by becoming victorious over the powers of Darkness and Ignorance, man] comes above the ideational creation of Darkness, Maya, and entering into the spiritual world, receives the true Light. Thus man overcomes all bondage of Darkness, Maya and becomes possessed by all aiswaryas, the ascetic majesties:

[1] Anima, the power of making one's body or anything else as small as he likes, even as tiny as an atom, anu.

[2] Mahima, the power of magnifying or making one's body or anything else mahat, as large as he likes.

[3] Laghima, the power of making one's body or anything else laghu, as light in weight as he likes.

[4] Garima, the power of making one's body or anything else guru, as heavy as he likes.

[5] Prapti, the power of apti, obtaining anything he likes.

[6] Vasitwa, the power of vasa, bringing anything under control.

[7] Prakamya, the power of satisfying all desires, kama, by irresistible will force.

[8] Isitwa, the power of becoming Isa, Lord, over everything.”

“[According to Einstein] only a material body whose mass is infinite could equal the velocity of light. [...]

The masters who are able to materialise and dematerialise their bodies or any other object and to move with the velocity of light, and to utilise the creative light-rays in bringing into instant visibility any physical manifestation, have fulfilled the lawful condition: their mass is infinite.”
― Paramahansa Yogananda, Autobiography of a Yogi

“A yogi who through perfect meditation has merged his consciousness with the Creator perceives the cosmical essence as light (vibrations of life energy); to him there is no difference between the light rays composing water and the light rays composing land.

Free from matter-consciousness, free from the three dimensions of space and the fourth dimension of time, a master transfers his body of light with equal ease over or through the light rays of earth, water, fire and air.”
― Paramahansa Yogananda, Autobiography of a Yogi

“The law of miracles is operable by any man who has realized that the essence of creation is light.

A master is able to employ his divine knowledge of light phenomena to project instantly into perceptible manifestation the ubiquitous light atoms.

The actual form of the projection (whatever it be: a tree, a medicine, a human body) is determined by the yogi's wish and by his power of will and of visualization.”
― Paramahansa Yogananda, Autobiography of a Yogi

“Miracle story about Lahiri Mahasaya from a woman disciple, Abhoya, from Chapter 31, titled "An Interview with the Sacred Mother", in the book "Autobiography of a Yogi" by Yogananda*:

She [Abhoya] and her husband, a Calcutta lawyer, started one day for Banaras to visit the guru. Their carriage was delayed by heavy traffic; they reached the Howrah main station in Calcutta only to hear the Banaras train whistling for departure.

Abhoya, near the ticket office, stood quietly.
"Lahiri Mahasaya, I beseech thee to stop the train!" she silently prayer. "I cannot suffer the pangs of delay in waiting another day to see thee."

The wheels of the snorting train continued to move round and round, but there was no onward progress. The engineer and passengers descended to the platform to view the phenomenon.
An English railroad guard approached Abhoya and her husband. Contrary to all precedent, the guard volunteered his services. "Babu," he said, "give me the money. I will buy your tickets while you get aboard."

As soon as the couple was seated and had received the tickets, the train slowly moved forward. In panic, the engineer and passangers clambered again to their places, knowing neither how hte train started nor why it had stopped in the first place.

Arriving at hte home of Lahiri Mahasaya in Banaras, Abhoya silently prostrated herself before the master, and tried to touch his feet.
"Compose yourself, Abhoya," he remarked. "How you love to bother me! As if you could not have come here by the next train!
