13 Tishrei: Miraculous Nature and the Nature of Miracles
MIRACULOUS NATURE AND THE NATURE OF MIRACLES
The statement of the sages (Talmud, Berachos 34b), “There will be no difference between the current age and the Messianic era except freedom from oppressive governments,” refers only to those who will not yet have learned the secrets of Torah.
(Zohar, Raya Mehemna, III:125a)
There is no real difference between nature and a miracle. Nature is simply something that happens again and again. A miracle is simply something that we have never experienced, something that we think is impossible. At the core of both is an infinite Divine reality.
As man continues to expand his knowledge, he will uncover that Divine reality. This, in turn, will unlock ever-growing possibilities, until the miraculous truly becomes mundane.
