" The difficulty in accepting a radical new theory

 

The idea of an earth which is constant and unchanging has been

restated so often throughout history that it has now become

established as a firm fact. It needs no proof - which is lucky since

there is none. There have been many instances where other beliefs

have come to be treated as firm facts over generations. These

beliefs have become so firmly rooted in the minds of mankind that it

is sometimes dangerous to propose an alternative. A classic example

of this was when Copernicus first discovered that the earth orbits

the sun.

 

Between the years 1510 to 1514 Copernicus circulated within a small

group a manuscript summarising his theory of how the earth revolved

around the sun. This was a completely different view from that held

by the majority of people who believed that the earth was the centre

of the universe and that the planets, sun and stars revolved around

it. The idea that the earth was the centre of everything was taken

to be a firmly established fact since the sun was observed to rise

in the morning and move across the sky before it set at night. In

the same way as the sun, the moon and stars could also be seen to

revolve around the earth. For many, it needed no further proof.

 

Copernicus was wise enough to realise the anger that would develop

when he published his theory. He postponed publishing his work " On

the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres " until 1540 when he was

near his death. A finished copy is believed to have been brought to

him on the last day of his life.

 

One man who was later to support this theory was not even born at

the time of the publication. This was Galileo, the famous Italian

mathematician, astronomer and physicist. Many years after

Copernicus's death he began to study the stars and planets through

the newly discovered telescope. He saw Jupiter's moons and Saturn's

rings, and these observations convinced him that the earth and

planets must orbit the sun.

 

By the year 1613 Galileo's reputation was so well established that

he published three letters in which he maintained that the

Copernicus theory was correct. Although he was confident of his

position and rank, he had misjudged the depth of belief in the earth

as the centre of the universe. The Aristotelian professors united

against him and he was finally secretly denounced to the Inquisition

for blasphemous utterances. Much alarmed by these events, he wrote

letters to the Grand Duke reminding the Church of its standing

practice of interpreting Scripture as conveying a deeper meaning

than that on the surface whenever it came into conflict with

scientific truth. This was not successful and resulted in the

Copernican system being declared false in 1616.

 

While Galileo was arguing his beliefs with the Church, others were

having more success. In 1609, Kepler had demonstrated that Mars

revolves in an elliptical orbit around the sun. Kepler was the first

to extend Copernicus's reasoning to the other planets to show that

all the planets were bodies like the earth rotating around the sun.

By 1619 Kepler had published all three of his principles of

planetary motion.

 

Meanwhile, Galileo was still restricted from adding his support to

this new theory, but by 1624 a new Pope was in position and Galileo

obtained permission to write about the two systems of the world. By

1632 it was published. In 1633, despite being covered by a licence

for publication, Galileo was prosecuted by the Inquisition on

suspicion of heresy. He was found guilty of having held and taught

the Copernican system. Due to his old age, the sentence of

imprisonment was commuted by the Pope into house arrest which

remained in effect until his death eight years later.

 

Fortunately for our own understanding of the stars and planets, the

Copernican theory has developed into the basis of our modern

theories about the universe. Today, when we can see pictures of the

earth floating in space, it may be easy to look upon our ancestors

as foolish. "

--------------------------------

 

The idea of the external Kingdom of God in heaven which is constant

and unchanging has been restated so often throughout history that it

has now become established as a firm fact. It needs no proof - which

is lucky since there is none. There have been many instances where

other beliefs have come to be treated as firm facts over

generations. These beliefs have become so firmly rooted in the minds

of mankind that it is sometimes dangerous to propose an alternative.

A classic example of this is when Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi first

announced the mind-boggling truth that the Kingdom of God is within

all humans.

 

Between the years 1970 to 2003 Shri Mataji enlightened small groups

of Sahaja Yogis with speeches summarising Her declaration that the

Kingdom of God, the heart and soul of Jesus Christ's often

repeated parables, is also within all humans. This was a completely

different view from that held by the majority of people who believed

that the Kingdom of God is entirely external, the biblical heaven

existing somewhere far away in the universe. For many, including

many SYs, it needed no further proof.

 

Fortunately for our own understanding of the Kingdom of God within,

Shri Mataji cannot be prosecuted by the Inquisition on suspicion of

heresy. Her unprecedented insight and enligtenment will develop into

the basis of future modern theories about the ultimate, albeit

hidden glory of the human being that Lord Jesus spoke more than 2000

years ago. Moreover, She has the testimonies of those who continue

to witness the internal Kingdom of God, the Sahasarara, where She

resides with all the mighty messengers of God Almighty - Shri

Krishna, Shiva, Jesus, Prophet Muhammad, Guru Nanak, Buddha,

Ganesha, Rama, Sita, Radha, Luxshmi, Saraswati etc. In future, when

more SYs may experience the Kingdom of God within, it will be easy

to look upon their present ancestors as foolish.
