Sri Krsna
Samhita Txt 18 by Bhaktivinoda Thakura : "[...] there is an energy known as attraction in all
material atoms. By the strength of this energy atoms are attracted to
each other and they thus create a globular planet. When these planets are
attracted to a larger globular planet, they begin to move around it.
[....] In the spiritual world the ever-existing attachment extends love
up to mahabhava, and in the material world the reflection extends
as an inconceivable material attraction that creates variegatedness.
[...] ...we say that in the material world the sun along with the planets are
constantly moving around the Dhruva constellation (pole star) by the strength
of its attraction just as all pure living entities eternally circle around
Krishna by the strength of His attraction."
Srila Prabhupada
Paris, Bhagavad-gita 13.1-2 "Ksetra
means the platform on which, or the stage on which we are dancing. That is
called ksetra. And ksetra-jna means the person who is dancing. That is
ksetra-jna. When you, when you dance, you know that I am dancing on this
ground, on this platform. So you are knower. Therefore ksetra-jna. And the
platform on which you are dancing, that is ksetra. So we are all dancing... In
the material world, we are all dancing. How we are dancing? Getting a
particular type of body. That is ksetra. There must be some platform."
Mother Yasoda tells Krishna and Balaram : "My dear Rama and Damodar, dance
more, dance more! I'll give you condensed milk, butter and cream!"
RASA DANCE
The day I wake up
from this reflection of my
sleep,
I'll see the true
attraction
that moves everything;
it is not the gravity
as the mundane mind
perceives,
that holds down to the
ground
movable and unmovable
beings;
or the force that pulls the
planets,
that brings closer the
stars,
which moves galaxies
around
the pole star;
this force so strong
holds the heavens in place,
the neurons and the protons
and to this material cage
also the soul.
When the illusory reality
slackens its grip,
the dance of the Sufi in me
will stop its selfish
twirls, (1)
I'll see the Supreme Being
without and within,
and His love as the force
that attracts in dance
all beings,
the planets, the stars and the universes
circling, rotating and revolving;
it is a fact well-known
that nothing, no one dances
alone,
'cause as the Lord and
His consort,
in a suffusion of love,
dance and whirl around, (2)
then the myriad of dancers who surround
also move and spin around;
this attraction then reflects,
and from the infinite
to the finite skies
extends
far and beyond,
and inconceivably bonds
clusters of globes
and rotates the worlds;
then it transforms
into gravity, into variety,
and attracts to one another
the living beings, the
atoms,
the moon and the sea, (3)
and draws lovers to meet;
dancing, dancing
the worlds are dancing,
when the lotus opens in
the heart,
rhythm and pace
become infinite space,
and only love
makes
eternal time to pass,
in this way time is love
and love is dance.
(1) Sufi Whirling or
Dervish Dance is a spiritual practice, a meditation, a mystical abandon to the
Divine Love through the mind. Because
the Sufi dancer spins around his centre for long time it is referred to in the
poem as "selfish whirls" symbolizing the self-centredness that
characterizes the ego of those unaware of their identity as spirit soul as well
as their interconnection and interrelation in the dance of God.
2) NVM Vol.
III pg 375 "This rasa dance, which is rarely heard of and even more
rarely seen, happens when Radha and Krsna, dissatisfied with being a single
couple, expand Themselves to become many dancers at once."
3) Vaubhava Vani pg.170 "[..]; and the ebb and flow of the tide, caused by attraction."
-Excerpted from a class on modern physics on
YouTube
"[...] they [the
scientists] just do not understand. How two particles are going to move we do
not understand, we might understand "pushing" but we do not
understand "pulling" from a distance. Quantum will never be able to
answer "pulling" or what keeps a neuron bound to a proton.
Physics says that there is a field of attraction,
but how does work? why the protons do not fly away? what is the mechanism?"
