Every Spiritual Master (and there have been many, from time
immemorial) has a record of "miraculous works", which are well known to their devotees. However, these are relatively incidental to their main work, with their devotees and the world, generally. Nonetheless, the mass population tends to fix on these stories as "proof" of the Divinity of the Teacher in question.

There is also a huge body of literature describing the
seemingly miraculous acts of a variety of sages, shamans, medicine men and so on from many cultures. These actions include dying and return to life, dying and return to life in another living body, bilocation, manifesting objects at remote locations, killing animals at a distance, reviving dead animals at a distance, etc etc etc.

These activities represent the skills of beings with some ability to command energy, a capability that exists in the 5th stage of life, for those who care to learn.

However, all of these acts have NOTHING to do with the process of God-realization (or so I am told by my Teacher).

I presume, if you are serious about Jesus, that you would have liked to meet him during his time in this physical world. Adi Da is not Jesus, but is a being of a similar
Dimension, but living in this world at this time. I choose to take advantage of that opportunity, but I am not saying that you should.

However, do not casually dismiss such a being when you have no personal knowledge of him.

Namaste!

Jim
