DIFFERENCES BETWEEN NATURAL,

UNNATURAL & SUPERNATURAL PRINCIPALS

13th February, 1923

While talking with Ghani about esoteric matters, the Master explained the difference between natural, unnatural and supernatural principles:

By acting according to the principles of nature — and not going against it — the result arrived at is natural. But by not following the principles of nature and going against it, naturally the result is unnatural. By following the natural way, if the result proves unnatural, then that can be called supernatural. For example, it is natural to eat food by the mouth and pass excrement from the rectum. But it is supernatural to eat by the mouth and not pass any stool. If, instead of feeding oneself by the mouth, one is fed through the rectum, then that is unnatural.
