I have been blessed to experience the humility of
many, and in that list, shines Albert Einstein, and evokes this tribute to
him—the tribute in itself the Divine’s Grace, just as he has gifted humanity,
and eternity, with the gift immeasurable, a derivative of his Special Theory of
Relativity, inarguably the most famed
equation, E = mc2.
On
this day, the soul-in-form, the energy-in-form, called Albert Einstein, came to
form and on his way to self-realization, as he accomplished the immeasurable, he
humbly took no credit for all that he accessed and attained, humbly hailing his
curiosity and not his talent: “I have no
special talents. I am only passionately curious.” Realizing the necessity
of curiosity—essential for inventions, as Plato says, “Necessity is the mother of invention”—he also calls out: “The important thing is not to stop
questioning.”
Grounded
firmly in and rooted to his Truth of being and buoyed thus by his humility, through
his passionate curiosity he accessed the mechanism of manifestation (how all
things come to form), and hence his equation, which, effectively says, “As you
sow, so you reap.” He cracked the code, breaking the superficial barrier
between energy and matter, and thus, that between science and spirituality too—both
unique and thus relative approaches to understand the existential truths, and access
the answer to why appears that which appears.
Impeccable,
the Divine Order, perfect to the core, leading It is to the Perfect Core, Our
Truth: call it God, Source, Vital Force, Creative Energy…whatever you will, all
are synonyms. As we believe so it is, for us!
As
is the energy, so is the materialization. As we think, so we become, and so we
create…
Amazing
is the natural law, that pervades and forms the order of life, and beholds the
infinite promise of leading to the fulfillment of our potential, when it is fully
utilized.
Awe
inspired, realizing himself to be just tool, a relay, a conduit of the Source,
in this Divine scheme of Life Eternal, Einstein acknowledges:
ü “There is no logical way to the discovery of these
elemental laws. There is only the way of intuition, which is helped by a
feeling for the order lying behind the appearance”
ü “Occurrences in this domain are beyond the reach of
exact prediction because of the variety of factors in operation, not because of
any lack of order in nature.”
ü “The more I study metaphysics, the more I am drawn
to metaphysics.”
And
questioned many times, regarding what relativity it is, he answers with his
child-like curiosity and simplicity, affirming that relativity is not something
meant only for those delving into science and specifically physics, rather, it
is all-pervasive in our life. We live relativity day in and day out, whether we
know or not. “Put
your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a
pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. That's relativity!” That’s how Albert
Einstein, almost synonymous with relativity, defines relativity—enamoring, humbling
and awe-inspiring his simplicity, curiosity, creativity, commitment and humility.
And having been led to this tribute to Einstein, I
humbly acknowledge that it is actually a tribute to the Eternal, Inexhaustible
Energy, Love & Light Eternal, the Divine, God, Whose humility, graciousness
has been acknowledged by yet another realized soul, Rabindranath Tagore,
through his innumerable writings, each a tribute to the Source, and still, out
of that infinite ocean of his writings, the one that comes to the fore, having
so surfaced many times before, is: “Thou hast made me endless, such is thy
pleasure.”
Indeed, endless is the pleasure of the Infinite, as
infinite is Its humility…and so is Its pleasure presented through and
acknowledged by Albert Einstein! Happy Birthday, Albert Einstein Sir!
Yes, “the name is Einstein, Albert Einstein!” He
lives on, as the essence, as the endless energy unique…
