In doing so, the saint gets the power of God; but he does not utilize it in working out miracles, as a devotion-less yogin might do. To him, the performance of a miracle is an interference in the execution of the plans of God, though sometimes, in order to increase the faith of the devotees of God or of persons who have been newly initiated into spiritual life, he might pray to God and invoke his grace for relieving them out of their distress. And, in order to please the saint, God too might do or undo as is required for the occasion. Then, it would be within the power of God to alter or modify His own plan, or to nullify the effects of the past evil actions of a particular aspirant or devotee. This, no doubt, will be called as a miracle. But then it is no interference in the plans and purposes of God by the saint; it only becomes a renewed plan of God, for which the devotion of the saint becomes an occasion and not an instrument.
