The Rule of Law and the Rule of Gravity

 

This website was created to offer stories and ideas

about Reality, 'What Is'

or what has also been called in the Vedic Tradition -

'Vidya' or knowledge. 

​

I have tried to point out the little I know through story and dramatization,

the difference between the Rule of Law and the Rule of Gravity.

 

The Rule of Law is a construct; it does not exist by itself; it needs to be agreed upon by men and women for it to exist.

​

The Rule of Gravity is foundational, unchangeable, and eternal. 

It needs no agreement, it is radical, it is life itself.

It must be Realized to be True.

 

Since ancient times, mankind has sought for 'knowledge,' 
but all 'knowledge' is not the same. There is a great difference between knowledge of the Rule of Law and knowledge of the Rule of Gravity, between what man has created and what is simply Truth.
 

My teacher, Adi Da,

spoke of this very important type of  'knowledge' . . .

it is the type of knowledge I have always sought to have and wish to share,

He once expressed it thus:

 

"I find people’s losses and sorrows to be heartbreaking and terrible, 
an immense burden. 
And, I am inevitably sympathetic and bless people in their trouble. 
However, you must understand that is the nature of this place. 
It is not utopia. It is not paradise. 
It is a place of death, of endings, of suffering. 
Brief amusements. 
It is not enough.

 

One day, it will be your death. 
All will pass. Everything will pass. 
Everything will be lost. Everything will change. 
Every conceivable separation will occur. 

You must know the place you are in 
and live according to that knowledge."

 

- Adi Da

 

May all beings live

in accordance with such knowledge!
