Evolution of Love 2

Memoirs

Mother would say that when an aspirant becomes desirous of powers it clearly indicates that he has forgotten the object of his activities. His object was originally to go beyond the world of Maya, but powers are in the domain of Maya, and in striving to get these he must of necessity want to remain where he is already.

She would also say, "How foolish people are to strive for some of these powers which are possessed by some of the lower animals and birds. A special kind of spider can walk on the water, birds can fly, so if a man wants to obtain these powers, what is the wonder in them? It may impress fools but does no good to the seeker after truth, except to drag him down."
