Love Acts Beyond Space and Time
It is said in Science that there are two or three categories of forces
- the strong force, known as the sub-nuclear force which holds the neutrons
and the protons together in the nucleus. It is called the strong force
but it can act only over the distances prevailing inside a nucleus.
It has no strength to draw something six feet away or a hundred feet
away. It acts within its own limits of the nucleus itself. Whereas 'gravity'
is called the weak force but it acts over enormous distances - cosmic
distances, distances measured in light years, millions of light years.
The weak force acts over a distance, the strong force acts only within
the nucleus, within the boundaries of only sub-nuclear distances involved
within the minuscule atom.
Now this must give us reason to think over two principles that (i) of
invertendo - that the strong does not act as well as the weak and the
weak acts farther and longer than the strong. This is one aspect. (ii)
That of love - which has no force at all. So you extrapolate this truth
and bring it to that force which Master used to call the 'Forceless
force,' which He called the Transmission which I say is only His love
for us because He was only transmitting love. It is not a force; it
is not anything else. Tatvavadis [philosophers] who like to mystify
things, like to say, it is His essence; some people say it is life,
some others say it is Pranasya Prana [life of life] but I prefer
to believe and have reason to believe that it is His love which was
being poured into our hearts which we call the transmission, which we
call Pranahuti. Being forceless, it will act, not only over infinite
distances to the very borders of infinity [the cosmic infinity, the
physical infinity] but also through eternity of time. Love alone
can act, breaking the barriers of space and time. No other force
exists which can do it.
Gravity needs bodies to act upon. If you are a spirit, gravity cannot
act upon it. If you are a mere soul without a body, gravity cannot act
upon it. You need at least that much matter as exists in light, in a
photon of light, because it has been proved that light can be deviated
by gravitational force. But love can act whether you have a body or
not. Even when you are just a soul, it can act upon you because that
is how Master guarantees our further progress even after we leave this
body [as we are bound to do, one day]. We are not going to live eternally
in this body. This is a brief existence upon earth for Him to come to
us, for us to cherish Him, to love Him, for us to establish an association
so that when His body disappears and my body too, we can yet react and
interact and love each other and progress hand in hand, to the very
Ultimate end.
