There is enormous power inherent in us. One can even bring the five elements under control.
From the book: Liberation Here Itself Right Now Part I
BE A WITNESS
One day Swami asked me to be a witness. I asked what
He meant by it.
Swami : No reaction should appear in your mind for any action. This is the
state of witness. It has already been destined what should happen and when it
should happen. You may try your best to avoid it, even then it will happen. The
Lord is performing a puppet show; you are merely a puppet, an instrument. You
do the duty that is assigned to you. Don't allow any distractions to appear in
your mind. Not even a blade of grass will move without the will of God. Be a
witness. Do not allow any worldly intention to arise in your mind. Let me tell
a story from the Mundaka Upanishad.
There are two birds in a tree. One bird eats the
fruit. The other one that does not eat is in a blissful state. The one that
eats the fruit is the Jeevatma. The other one is the Paramatma. The body is the
tree. Eating the fruit is experiencing joy and sorrow. Paramatma resides in the
body, detached from its action. As long as the body remains, act as if you are
in a drama. No one in the world is related to you. The only relative is God.
Live with this thought.

ONE DAY SWAMI ASKED GV to send me a picture in which a
bird is seen flying over the globe; below the picture it was written, 'Be a
witness'. GV sent that picture to Doctor without sending it directly to me.
Doctor kept the picture for five days in his pooja room for prayers, and then
he sent it to me! All these are Swami's leelas.
