===Hinduism=== In Hinduism, miracles are focused on episodes of liberation of the spirit.<ref name="Wonder">{{cite book |title= Miracles: Wonder and Meaning in World Religions |author = David L. Weddle |year = 2010 |isbn = 978-0-81479-483-8 |pages = 35β70 }}</ref> A key example is the revelation of [[Krishna]] to [[Arjuna]], wherein Krishna persuades Arjuna to rejoin the battle against his cousins by briefly and miraculously giving Arjuna the power to see the true scope of the Universe, and its sustainment within Krishna, which requires divine vision. This is a typical situation in Hindu mythology wherein "wondrous acts are performed for the purpose of bringing spiritual liberation to those who witness or read about them".<ref name="Wonder"/> Hindu sages have criticized both expectation and reliance on miracles as cheats, situations where people have sought to earn a benefit without doing the work necessary to merit it.<ref name="Wonder"/> Miracles continue to be occasionally reported in the practice of Hinduism, with an example of a miracle modernly reported in Hinduism being the [[Hindu milk miracle]] of September 1995, with additional occurrences in 2006 and 2010, wherein statues of certain Hindu deities were seen to drink milk offered to them. The scientific explanation for the incident, attested by Indian academics, was that the material was wicked from the offering bowls by [[capillary action]].
