Law of Attraction
Every object in the universe attracts every other object with a force directed along the line of the centers for the two objects that is proportional to the product of their masses and inversly proportional to the square of the separation between the two objects.
Sir Issac Newton first time realized and initiated the concept of gravity with the fall of an apple. But this law existed from eternity as it is inherent in creation. Celestial bodies exert their gravitational attraction on another; Gravity’s effect may be seen when two bodies are free to move and they are drawn toward each other.
According to physical science Gravitational Force is the attraction which exists between masses of matter by virtue of which every such mass tends toward every other mass with a force varying directly as the product of the masses of matter and inversely as the square of their distances apart. It means that the distance between two masses is one meter, the attraction will be relatively stronger and if the distance is increased to two meters the attraction will be one fourth as powerful. The law of gravity is universal, the same in the earth as in the sun and in all objects in space. The sun attracts the earth and other solar planets and keep them whirling around it. Similarly the earth attracts the moon. The attraction of earth to the bodies on its surface is same as to the moon; the only difference is that the gravitational effect of the earth on the moon is reduced by the square of the distance from the moon to earths core.
The mass of the two objects and the distance between them determines the force of gravity. Gravity is not a one sided pull, but the pull between two objects. Visualize that there are two bodies, you pull and it comes toward you, but if that body is being pulled away from you with an equal force then there will be a balance. The moon by centrifugal force is pulling away from the earth but the gravitational attraction of the earth towards the moon keeps a balance. It is obvious that same force of gravity has given balance to the universe otherwise every thing would have flown apart or on contrary would have been gathered round one mass of matter.
This is something how we relate ourselves to this universe, if we follow this theory it becomes a stunning spiritual analogy. In extremely similar fashion human beings are subject to the pull of good and evil (Irrespective to the context the notion of term ‘pull’ is significant here). Many people take to various evil diversions; some are intoxicated to the God. When we understand the law of attraction, we can understand the best way to tune in with the pull of God, and therefore the best way to find him.
When we throw a stone, it travels with its force until that force dissipates and gravity causes it to fall back to earth. In the same way, we were propelled from God, and our desires are the force that keeps us moving away from him. God’s gravity may seem to have failed us but when our desires will be exhausted then we will be drawn towards god again by the power of his gravity.
Setting aside the old superstitious beliefs, we will get an easy reply to why we should seek God. Creation came into being by the power of repulsion by which God sent forth from himself. By his outgoing force. God is repulsing us and the world of matter away from himself, and yet at the same time he has instilled in his creation the force of his pull to draw us back into himself. If god didn’t pull us we would be completely thrown away into matter for unending incarnations. The ‘Big Bang’ theory of modern physics provides an interesting correlation to this Ancient Hindu belief. ‘OK Fine… if it is so’, the other question which approaches to my head is, ‘But why?‘ Then involuntarily answer permeates in form of a question that ‘Why Iam writing this article?’ Offcourse ‘This is my hobby’.
Similarly this whole universe is God’s Hobby.
