[QUOTE="Balpreet Singh, post: 217768, member: 22080"] WJKK WJKF Bhai Sahib I believe you are mistaken. Sikhism accepts the possibility of supernatural powers, but like any wordly possession, they should not be used for selfish ends. A Sikh should not run after occultism, because the greatest gift is Nam and not supernatural power. According to Sikhism, occult powers come naturally through concentration on "The Nam". Miracles should not be performed at the bidding of a king or a leader or to prove the greatness of one's religion or to confirm the faith of people in a spiritual guide. Guru Ramdas says: "The desire to perform miracles is a wordly attachment and is an obstacle in the way of 'The Nam' residing in our hearts." The Sikh Gurus did perform miracles off and on, but they did so out of compassion or to set an erring person right. Guru Nanak made the bitter soap-nuts sweet near Pilibhit, to save Mardana from death by starvation. The Guru condemned miracles performed for personal glory. Baba Atal who performed a miracle had to give up his life as atonement for it. Guru Arjan Dev Ji and Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji were requested to perform miracles so that their lives whould be spared. They refused to do so and welcomed the penalty of death. The greatest miracle is not to perform a miracle, in spite of having the capacity to do so. As Emerson puts it: "Self-sacrifice is the real miracle out of which all the reported miracles flow." Guru Nanak was asked by the Sikhs about his supernatural powers. He answered: "I can do nothing against the law of God. It is only He who can perform a miracle. The 'True Name' is the miracle of miracles. I know of no other miracles." Saintly people do not like to interfere with God's Will by performing miracles. The Sikh Gurus never performed miracles to convince others about their faith or to save themselves from calamities or penalities. You clearly stated before that you do not believe that the Mecca revolved as the Qazi moved Dhan Dhan Guru Nanak Dev Ji's Feet; however, surely you cannot doubt this extract taken from Bhai Gurdass Jee's Vaars, which explains the 'micracle' clearly. [B][I]Baba at Mecca Pauris: 32-34[/I][/B] Baabaa Dhiri Makay Gaiaa Neel Basatr Dhaaray Banavaaree. Donning blue attire. then Baba Nanak went to Mecca. Aasaa Hadi Kitaab Kachhi Koojaa Baang Mousalaa Dhaaree. He held staff in his hand, pressed a book under his armpit, caught hold of a metal pot and mattress. Baitdaa Jaai Maseet Vichi Jidai Haajee Haji Gujaaree. Now he sat in a mosque where the pilgrms (hajis) had gathered. Jaa Baabaa Soutaa Raati No Vali Maharaabay Paai Pasaaree. When Baba (Nanak) slept in the night spreading his legs towards the alcove of mosque at Kaba, Jeevani Maaree Lati Dee Kayharhaa Soutaa Kudhar Kudhaaree. The qazi named Jivan kicked him and asked who was this infidel enacting blasphemy. Lataa Vali Khudaai Day Kiu Kari Paiaa Hoi Bajigaaree. Why this sinner is sleeping his legs spread towards God, Khuda. Tangon Pakarhi Ghaseetiaa Dhiriaa Makaa Kalaa Dikhaaree. Catching hold of the legs he lynched (Baba Nanak) and , lo and behold ! --The miracle, the whole of Mecca seemed to be revolving. Hoi Hairaanu Karayni Juhaaree ॥32॥ All got surprised and they all bowed. Hope this has helped. Bhul Chuk Maf WJKK WJKF [/QUOTE]
