Attraction towards Miracles
or Religion and its Preacher ?

But we can see these miracles only in this birth? No, we have
seen them innumerable times in the past births. But what did
we achieve? Even today we are attracted by them. Where is
the liking for the real religion and its preacher, Lord Almighty?
If that liking would have enveloped us, then the wonders
and temporary marvels would seem inferior in front of the

supreme and true nature of religion and Almighty – His
virtues and blessings. We have experienced the marvellous
pleasures of heaven innumerable times as a result of the
religious and charitable acts performed by us. But eventually
we got engrossed in those pleasures and completely forgot
religion.

Thus purification of the soul is the greatest fruit of religion.
Mere miracles cannot be the goal of religion in the true sense
because they are temporary. Look at the mental state of those
performing religious activities with the mere goal of miracles:

1) How long will their enthusiasm last?

2) What is the base of their present enthusiasm?
