Acharya Prashant explains that the true essence of magic or miracles, especially in the context of spiritual figures like Shri Jesus or Shri Krishna, is not about supernatural tricks but about actions that transcend logic and natural instincts. He defines ordinary magic as something that appears mysterious only because its cause is hidden. In contrast, divine magic occurs when there is no worldly cause at all. He emphasizes that human behavior is typically driven by biological evolution and the instinct for self-preservation, which provides a logical reason for emotions like anger, jealousy, and even romantic love. However, when a person acts against these deep-seated natural tendencies—such as a seeker weeping in the presence of a saint without any material gain, or Shri Jesus praying for his executioners—it is a genuine miracle because it defies the laws of nature and the ego.
