Momentum & attraction

Wherever there is movement or progress, there is momentum, attraction or both. When people advance, what propels them is known as momentum, and that which pulls them forward is known as attraction. Momentum and attraction can be physical, psychic and spiritual.

For instance, if I push something, that object moves forward. If I forcibly pull it, it moves forward. This is called mundane, physical momentum or physical attraction. Similarly, we can propel or attract an object forward through psychic force. Even if the body is pushed, the mind may not move. Often, the body wants to work but the mind is too weak.

Conversely, sometimes, the mind wants to work but the body is physically tired; yet, the mind goads the body into action by sheer force of habit. Thus, momentum and attraction function equally in the physical, psychic an spiritual worlds.


There cannot be devotion in every physical action because the existence of devotion is dependent on the Absolute Entity, Param Purush.

When people are engaged in intellectual activities, their work is bound to be temporary; likewise, when they perform action simply for the sake of action, this, too, is temporary. But when there is both knowledge and action and both are fused into one, the result is devotion.
