Did the Sikh Gurus perform miracles? If so, why?
Prophets and saints have performed miracles. A miracle is an extraordinary event which reason or science cannot explain. Science has not yet advanced so far as to explain everything. According to the scientists, Miracles have nothing to do with holiness or piety. Miracles arc “not happenings against the laws of God, but are the result of superior powers which God bestows on His servants.” Men of God are able to do things which are beyond the understanding of the scientists’ limited reason. Sikhism accepts the possibility of supernatural powers, but like any ¥ possession, they should not be used for selfish ends. A Sikh should after occultism, because the greatest gift is Nam and not supernatural power.
According to Sikhism, occult powers come naturally through concentration on “The Name.” 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.
