Everything is a miracle. It is a miracle that one does not dissolve in one’s bath like a lump of sugar.

The Mughal’s nature is such that they demand miracles, but if a miracle were to be performed by some upright follower of our religion, they would say that it had been brought about by magic and sorcery. They would strike him down with spears or would stone him to death.

God is alive. Magic is afoot.

Nothing is so easy to fake as the inner vision.
