They cannot fly or obtain supernatural power.
Leaping and dancing are human recreations;

Pauri V
Thy name is the Formless: by repeating it man goeth not to hell.
The soul and body are all Thine: what Thou givest man eateth: to say aught else were waste of words.
O man, if thou desire thine advantage, do good acts and be
lowly.
Even though thou stave off old age, it shall come to thee in the disguise of death.
None may remain when his measure is full.
Slok VI
The Musalmans praise the Shariat, read it, and reflect
on it;
But God's servants are they who employ themselves in
His service in order to behold Him.
The Hindus praise the Praised One whose appearance
and form are incomparable;
They bathe in holy streams, perform idol-worship and
adoration, use[1] copious incense of sandal.
The Jogis meditate on God the Creator, whom they call the Unseen,
Whose form is minute, whose name is the Bright One, and who is the image of their bodies.[2]
In the minds of the generous contentment is produced in their desire to give.
Others give, but ask a thousandfold more, and still want the world to honour them.
Why mention thieves, adulterers, perjurers, evil and sinful
men?
Q
