SPIRITUAL QUOTIENT – 21
THE UNIVERSE – PART ONE!!!
(Today's SQ attempts to be different & takes you to outer space. So visualize!)
· EARTH is bigger than VENUS, MARS, MERCURY and PLUTO but becomes 'smaller' when compared with NEPTUNE, URANUS, SATURN and JUPITER.
· EARTH Ultimately becomes a 'DOT' in front of the SUN!!!
· The SUN on the other hand becomes so tiny in front of other STARS like POLLUX & ARCTURUS. POLLUX is the brightest star in the constellation Gemini and one of the brightest in the night time sky.
· Look at ARCTURUS now, which is a red giant star. It is at least 110 times more luminous than the Sun!!!
· For comparison, if ARCTURUS were at the center of our solar system its surface might extend out to between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, wholly engulfing Mercury, Venus and Earth!!! Just imagine!!!
·
· But the same ARCTURUS gets 'dwarfed' in front of BETELGEUSE & ANTARES.
·
· BETELGEUSE is located 427 light-years away from Earth & is the second brightest star in the constellation Orion and the ninth brightest star in the night sky. BETELGEUSE is one of the largest stars known.
·
· Finally come to ANTARES which is a super giant star, with a diameter of approximately 700 times that of the Sun!!! ANTARES is approximately 600 light years from our solar system. Its visual luminosity is about 10,000 times that of the Sun! ANTARES is the 15th brightest star in the sky.
·
· Now where would 'our own' SUN be in front of this giant ANTARES? Nothing but a tiniest of tiny dots!!!
·
· Where does it leave the EARTH, our Planet? When the Astronomers compared these heavenly bodies in the same scale, EARTH could not be even seen!!! That's right! EARTH became invisible!!!
·
· The so called 'highly intelligent' species called MAN lives on this invisible planet called EARTH, so arrogant and so proud of his 'perceived' intellect!
·
· When the EARTH itself is invisible, where would that leave MAN???
·
· Shouldn't we at least 'bow' before this SUPREME DIVINE POWER, be HUMBLE & be more COMPASSIONATE towards fellow human beings & all other creations?
·
· For Man has been sent into the world for a special purpose: In order that he may use the time and opportunity to realize the truth that he is not man but God and so are all other creations!!! Everything is God. The Atmic Principle is one. All are one & hence we've to be alike to everyone!!!

1. "I know this world is ruled by infinite intelligence. Everything that surrounds us- everything that exists - proves that there are infinite laws behind it. There can be no denying this fact. It is mathematical in its PRECISION. Thomas Alva Edison (1847 - 1931)
2. Every one who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the Universe -- a spirit vastly superior to that of man, and one in the face of which we with our modest powers must feel HUMBLE. Albert Einstein (1879-1955)
PS: However high a bird may soar, it sooner or later must perch on a tree-top to rest and enjoy some quietness. So too, a day will come when even the haughtiest, the most unbelieving and even those who assert that there is no 'GOD', will have to pray, "GOD, grant me peace, grant me consolation, grant me joy, save me from this misery and show me the truth!!!" …SATHYA SAI BABA
