In English
- All this is enveloped by God. All this is soaked in God, saturated with God. Everything is the substance of God. We are on the Earth; around it revolves the moon. Both the Earth and the Moon are illumined by the Sun. Dependent on the Sun, planets like Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Saturn, dutifully move along the prescribed orbits, at different speeds. Their satellites too belong to the solar family. When we lift our eyes up at the sky at night, we notice stars beyond numbers. And in the Milky Way, we see thick masses of star clusters. There are in space more than ten thousand of stars, and of galaxies in the Milky Way and elsewhere, we have more than ten . Without being lost in numbers, we must ponder over the mystery of the Unity and Harmony of this Cosmic Projection. The Sun is about 90 million miles distant from our Earth. The most distant planet so far known is Pluto, which is nearly 3670 million miles away from the Sun. It takes 248 long years to make one journey round the Sun. Well! Has God planned all these heavenly bodies out of sheer caprice? Or, does He intend to convey any lesson through these happenings? God will never produce an effect without cause or purpose. Nor will He manifest any substance without value. Why? The rotation of the Earth on its own axis, for example, causes night and day; its circumambulation round the sun causes the seasons, the formation of clouds, the falling of rain and the beings. God has graciously willed to establish peace and prosperity on earth. Let us see the purpose behind the alternation of day and night. After the activities of the day, night is provided to man and animals for rest and recoupment. Sleep refreshes the mind as well as the body; without sleep, man is in danger of being too exhausted. Night, which restores health, is a gift of God to man. Placing faith in God's compassion, one can measure the benefits one derives even from stars and galaxies, the waves and the sea.
