“A fundamental principle of magnetism: like poles repel (north repels north, south repels south) while unlike poles attract (north attracts south), driven by the energy in their invisible magnetic fields, a behavior similar to electric charges..”
We could say in spiritual truths in their highest calculations , this same principle is lived out ..
Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu has revealed this upmost of truth in his revelation of the inconceivabe and simultaneously oneness and differences of the living bring with Divinity.
We are one with God and are expansions of Him . In a liberated state some want to become one with Him , but the Vedas states that after a long time the living being again comes to the material atmosphere.
Why? , because ultimately the differences or the “unlikeness ” of ourselves to Divinity , ( oneness and difference) attracts Divinity, He likes to exchange love with us , and ultimately that is what the individual soul in deeply hankering for ..Difference creates beauty and love and in the spiritual planes everything is harmonized, even discord. .
