“The propulsion of all rockets, jet engines, deflating balloons, and even squids and octopuses is explained by the same physical principle—Newton’s third law of motion. Matter is forcefully ejected from a system, producing an equal and opposite reaction on what remains. Another common example is the recoil of a gun.”
The greatest propulsion of all perhaps is the equal and opposite reactions of spiritual movements as opposed to material movements . Movements spiritually bound or materially bound have far-reaching consequences for the individuals , well beyond one’s comprehension . They propel the individual within the 14 planetary regions of space, where time and matter are operating under different laws or instead , into the regions beyond space time where time is conspicuous by its absence, the Vedas says.
To thrust the conditioned souls from their attractions to self-centred material lust , towards pure unadulterated love , is no easy task . Material lust is masquerading as love and deceive the whole world.
Yet , the pulling of pure love and lust are remarkably similar in one sense , like broken glass and diamonds seem comparable to the naive. It’s a question of motivation and the purity of our motivations that determines which direction our consciousness is heading in .Love and lust can look similar , but are millions of miles apart .
Even more remarkable is that the Vedas describe in fine details these forces of love and lust . One trajectory forces our mind and senses, traversing into the lower regions of species and planets and the other into the higher regions and ultimately the planets where Divinity resides .
Srimati Radharani , the Supreme Goddess of fortune and the activities of the residents of Vrndavana, are one example of supreme pure love , the residents of Dwarka, another , the residents of Vaikuntha are also delineated as places where the highest of pure love is exhibited. The power and attractions of serving the emaculate spiritual senses of Divinity brings ever new enthusiasm, as opposed to what the Christians might refer to as serving the Devil , i.e., selfish self-centred lust with exploitation as its goal that degrades the consciousness causing depression. These are the two extremes of life . There are, of course, plenty of middle grounds, and both extremes have, in one sense, unlimited facilities by the arrangement of Divinity.
Unimaginably strong forces of attractions are at play , such are the arrangements of what the Vedas call Maha Maya and Yoga Maya . The impersonal philosophers try to deny or starve the senses , but the soul has senses, and they must act sooner or later , one way or another. The Vedas tell us of our choices.
Fully understanding the attractions of the mind and senses and where they might take us and the speed that they carry us to destinations are fully described in the Vedas . Every destination is explained from the 8,400,000 species in a material universes to the unlimited planes of Vaikuntha planets.
