Letters of Sri Aurobindo

1. The Mother: Individual, Universal, Transcendent

Fragment ID: 18940

You have said that the Mother’s materialising herself in Paris while she was living in Algeria was not a miracle. What could be called a miracle, then?

A miracle means something without a process or law which gets done by a sort of magical power or feat – at least that is the impression given by the use of the word. This kind of manifestation is not that, it is a thing well-known at least in theory and sometimes successfully accomplished.
