Dear Sravna,
I cant help quoting Narayaneeyam here which is the quintessence of Shrimad Bhagavata Mahapuranam.

In the Dasakam 10 shloka 1 it says that Lord Brahma Himself derives the creative power only due to the grace of GOD.
Being a Vaishnava text they choose to translate Bhagavatprasadat as Grace of Bhagavan Vishnu.

One who is an Advaitin could choose to see it as Brahman.

Ok..then the next shloka states that Lord Brahma first started creating in the mode of ignorance thinking He has the creative power and ended up creating misapprehension, egoism, attachmemt, anger and fear.

Shloka 3 states the Lord Brahma realized His mistake and resorted to contemplate on the lotus feet of GOD/Vishnu.
Then from the mind of Lord Brahma came about Sanaka,Sananda, Sanatana and Sanatkumara.

Ok..these shlokas show how much we need not identify with anything as ours.
Imagine even Lord Brahma cant claim creative powers are His.
So why should anyone of us humans think we have spiritual powers?

Give me one good reason why even Lord Brahma cant claim to have powers and humans claim to have powers?
