A yogi can do all the jugglery by using psychic powers. He can abstain from food, go without sleep, leave the body at will, or stop his breathing, et cetera. Spiritually considered, a moral, good man who works in the world selflessly for others is much better and stands higher than many yogis with all their occult powers of performing miracles, which are nothing but jugglery without any spiritual importance at all; because whatever a yogi does is for his own individual self, and hence he is not selfless. He overcomes one illusion by creating another, which differs fundamentally from the teaching and work of a Sadguru or Qutub.
Lord Meher, 1st. ed., Bhau Kalchuri, Vol. 7, p. 2232.
It is foolish to think that a person who has reached the highest goal has done so at no personal cost. It is a very childish viewpoint to think that "perfection" is granted at birth or developed effortlessly. Intense suffering is required for the individual, and works along the laws of karma. Evil doing of all kind must be worked out flawlessly in the person undergoing the "unveiling." This person does evil, thinks evil, acts evil and portrays all of the evils within himself or herself along the way. Do not think that this growth is easy, by any means. It is TORTURE. But, it is worth EVERYTHING it takes to be a person of honor and dignity . . . afraid of nothing and nobody . . . in the end.
