God is all-powerful and all pervasive. ‘Sarvam Khalvidam Brahma’(Verily all is Brahman). An enquiry into science and spirituality will reveal that both affirm the same Truth. The existence of God is visualised by science in the form of electric, magnetic, laser, radio, heat and light waves, which are all pervasive. This is the direct evidence for the existence of God. Divinity is present in the food you eat, the water you drink and the air you breathe. There is no place in this world devoid of magnetism. What is a magnet? It is not merely the one that attracts iron filings; everything in this world is suffused with magnetism. Mother is a magnet for the child and vice-versa, similarly husband and wife are attracted to each other. Grass is the magnet for the cow. Flower is the magnet for the honeybee. When we investigate on these lines, it is evident that everything is governed by the principle of magnetism. Vedanta declared, ‘Ramayati iti Ramah’, that, which attracts is the Principle of Rama. The magnetic power acts as the link between that which is apparent and that which is non-apparent. The philosophers term it Divine magnetic power, whereas the scientists term it psychophysical and bio-cosmic power.Therefore scientists as well as Vedantins experience the same Divine power in varied names and forms.
The power of attraction is divinity. A small example: Thousands have gathered here today. Who has invited you? Has anybody sentinvitations to you? No invitations have been sent. Then how have you come here? Your love for Swami is the main cause (cheers). Nobody has brought you here by force. You all know this. People are brought in lorries for political meetings. In spite of repeatedly requesting you not to come, you still come here. Attraction of love is Divinity (cheers). This is the divine magnet. Here is a similar illustration from the Ramayana. Janaka resolved to give his daughter Sita in marriage to one who could lift the ShivaDhanush (bow) as done by his daughter. As Sita was Bhujata (daughter of Mother Earth), she had the magnetic power inherent in her, which enabled her to lift the ShivaDhanush effortlessly. It was only the divine magnet Rama, who could lift the bow and string it. This divine magnet is present in one and all; the difference lies only in intensity. This intensity can be developed only through love. Cultivate the sense of unity that I and you are one. Experience the bliss of unity. God is in you. You are God. When you recognise this truth there will b no scope for doubts of any kind.
Man has got many powers in him.Here is a small example. When I went to East Africa, Dr. Patel, a great devotee gifted a hairbrush made of iron. When I comb My hair, it automatically gets attracted to the hairbrush. Even boys have witnessed this. Today I am making it public so that, you will understand the existence of divine magnetic power in Me (cheers). It is this power that has attracted all of you here. My love is my greatest property.
‘Love is My form
Truth is My breath,
Bliss is My food,
My life is my message,
Expansion is my life,
No reason for love,
No season for love,
No birth, no death.’
The Divine power has neither birth nor death. I do not feel elated when praised nor depressed when blamed. I treat these dualities of life with equanimity. I am happy both in pleasure and pain. There is only love in Me. My love lives by giving, giving and giving (cheers). It never receives. This is the difference between My love and the worldly love, which believes in receiving alone. That is why My love is ever expanding. A small seed becomes a gigantic tree with many branches and fruits. All of them have their origin in the seed. Likewise out of love has emerged the creation. Love everyone wholeheartedly. Only when love is manifested, you will attain self-realisation. In the first instance develop self-confidence. Self-confidence is the foundation. Self- satisfaction is the wall. Self-sacrifice is the roof. Self-realisation is the mansion (of life). Everything is contained in the Self. Self means Atma, the Spirit. With this Atmic Principle acquire the spiritual knowledge. The power in spirituality is limitless. The Power of Love far exceeds the power of the atom bomb. It transforms even those who hate. Develop such sacred love. Only then there will be harmony among Bharatiyas. Chavan, who has spoken earlier has mentioned that violence is rampant everywhere. The wicked thoughts in men are responsible for this. Once man develops love, there will be no hatred in the community. That is why I tell the students repeatedly,
Start the day with love,
Fill the day with love,
End the day with love,
This is the way to God. (SSS Vol.31, pp. 433-436)
