Mr Pratāp has written about the ‘Vibhūtī Miracle of Shree Swāmi Samarth’ and also mentioned the various miracles which took place in the life of ‘Swāmi Bhaktas’. In fact he has put all this in the nutshell in only four lines which are stated in the ‘Humble Statement’(Please refer page …Last stanza)

He has asked me to write the preface for this book and also has asked for blessings.

Here are some of my thoughts which I would like to share them with you, which have emerged after a lot of deep contemplation. ‘Miracles’ do take place in the life of saints and great souls. Many times the Lord himself does or performs ‘Miracles’, but one has to remember that witnessing or reading about these ‘Miracles’ can help you only to an extend to develop faith. This is how the spiritual phenomenon takes place. ‘You witness a Super-Human feat and it makes you think of a Super Power (GOD). You contemplate and come to a conclusion, that, there is a power greater than you and how small you are. You can create something out of something but GOD can create something out of nothing. You are insignificant and that’s how it helps you to destroy your ego, the journey after that has to be done with a lot of ‘Penance’ and ‘Tapas’. Shree ‘Dynāneshwar Maharaj performed a miracle, he made an inanimate wall to fly in the air and showed it to the Shree Changdev (A Hatha Yogi) and thus destroyed his disillusionment about his achievements. “Chalavali Jad Bhinti ! Harali Changayachi Bhranti”

But merely reading about or witnessing a miracle is not good to get ‘Moksha’ (Salvation), one has to do a lot of hard work in order to progress on this path and to reach a stage where one gets ‘Para Brahma Sākshātkār’ (The experience of ‘Supreme Being’. Final emancipation of beatitude ) and hence it is said that !!“Moksha Margi Cha Saangati, Dnyanoba Mazza” !!

Here it means that Dynāneshwar Maharaj is the only friend, philosopher and guide, in this journey towards the ultimate, who with his knowledge and guidance can enlighten a ordinary soul to reach his goal which is to find the ‘Supreme’. After showing the miracle to Shree ‘Changdev’, Shree ‘Dynāneshwar Maharaj’ also wrote 65 couplets and gave them to ‘Changdev’ which are popularly known as ‘Changdev Pasashti’. They contain the ultimate knowledge, which takes one towards the ‘Para Brahma Sākshātkār’ or the experience of the ultimate knowledge, the ultimate truth.
