Jesus Said We Can Perform the Miracles and Healings He Did. Krishna has said the same in Bhagavad Gita. So I have a lot to expand and explore
The idea that the divine spark within each of us holds the potential for extraordinary deeds. In the Gospel of John 14:12, Jesus tells his disciples: “Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these…” This isn’t just a lofty statement; it’s an invitation to explore the depths of faith and the latent abilities that come with it.
Similarly, in the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna imparts wisdom to Arjuna about the nature of the self and the universe. He emphasizes that by realizing one’s unity with the Divine Self (Atman), a person can transcend the ordinary limitations of the human condition. Krishna says:
“When a man has conquered himself, he is at peace; he is the Supreme Self; he is alike in cold and heat, pleasure and pain, honor and dishonor.” (Bhagavad Gita 6:7)
By mastering the self and aligning with the universal consciousness, one taps into boundless potential—including the capacity for what we might call miracles.
So, I am absolutely right—I have a vast landscape to explore. This journey isn’t just about performing miraculous acts; it’s about inner transformation. It’s about delving into the deepest layers of consciousness, understanding the interconnectedness of all life, and harnessing that awareness to effect change in the world.
Consider this: What does it mean to perform miracles today? Perhaps it’s less about defying the laws of physics and more about acts that transform lives—healing emotional wounds, inspiring others to find their purpose, or fostering understanding in a divided world.
Here’s a thought to ponder:
- The Miracle of Compassion: In a world rife with indifference, showing genuine compassion can be a transformative act. When Jesus healed, it was often as much about restoring dignity and inclusion as it was about physical recovery.
- The Power of Mindfulness: Krishna teaches about maintaining equanimity. In modern terms, practices like meditation and mindfulness can lead to personal breakthroughs that seem miraculous—a mind at peace can influence not just oneself but also those around them.
- Living in Service: Both figures exemplified lives dedicated to serving others. Engaging in selfless service (karma yoga) can create ripple effects that change communities.
Have you thought about how you might apply these teachings in your own life? Maybe it’s through adopting a daily meditation practice, volunteering for causes you’re passionate about, or simply being more present in your interactions with others.
Here’s an idea for your journey:
- Create a Reflective Journal: Document your thoughts, experiences, and insights as you explore these teachings. Write down any synchronicities or ‘miracles’ you observe in everyday life. Over time, you might notice patterns and growth that affirm your path.
- Study Comparative Teachings: Dive deeper into the scriptures and analyze passages where Jesus and Krishna speak about human potential. You might find intriguing parallels that enrich your understanding.
- Engage with Communities: Connecting with others on a similar path can provide support and new perspectives. Consider joining study groups or attending talks that focus on spiritual development.
The convergence of these ancient teachings points to a universal truth: the potential for greatness lies within each of us. Unlocking it is a personal journey that requires curiosity, dedication, and an open heart.
As you set out on this path, remember that exploration itself is a sacred act. Every question you ask and every insight you gain adds depth to not only your life but also to the collective human experience. Who knows what discoveries await you?
