Men make compromise with miracle-mongers impelled by greed, the third vice. Spirituality is, by definition, opposed to materialism and totally so to materialisation of ash, necklace, ring.
Sri Ramakrishna held miracle-mongering in low esteem.
The masses are weak and fall for these charlatans who exploit them to the hilt. At any rate, producing unaccounted-for gold is a culpable offence and doing so by sleight of hand and claiming divine power by virtue of such is hardly an attribute in terms of excellence of character, far from being remotely a spiritual characteristic. To dupe the public is an offence and to propagate the same to perpetuate such debilitating tendencies in society is no less so.
It will yet take some more experience in sufferance at the hands of dubious 'divinities' before vast masses of people awake to discrimination that will rectify their crooked career and set them on the royal path to spiritual freedom shorn of all such mercenaries masquerading as messiahs, and their assorted material adornments.
