Atoms of the Universe

Love is the one law which causeth and controlleth order among the existing atoms!
- (Abdu'l-Baha, Tablets of Abdu'l-Baha v3, p. 525) Cited from here.




Tonight's Gleaning by My Best Friend & I sparked a discussion on Revelations and the effects it has on the world. MBF then recalled a quote and a quick search in the Ocean Research library found what we were looking for.

Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth is a direct evidence of the revelation within it of the attributes and names of God, inasmuch as within every atom are enshrined the signs that bear eloquent testimony to the revelation of that Most Great Light.
-(Baha'u'llah, Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah, p. 177) Cited from here.

And as we thought about that quote, MBF remembered this quote on love (as above). Love is the greatest law in the universe. Without it, everything would fall into pieces. After all, if there were not to be attraction and love between the atoms of the universe, none would exist.

After my phonecall with him ended, I suddenly felt like going through Ocean again and I found this quote, which pretty much says the same thing again.

Love is the most great law that ruleth this mighty and heavenly cycle, the unique power that bindeth together the diverse elements of this material world, the supreme magnetic force that directeth the movements of the spheres in the celestial realms.
(Abdu'l-Baha, Selections from the Writings of Abdu'l-Baha, p. 27)Cited from here.

Had a good day today, which ended with a rather productive Gleaning. Now, I'm going to bed, nightey nite! :)
