The seat of love is the heart. How did man figure out that love is centered there? How do we know that love is generated from there and created from the strongest muscle in the body?

We are told that the size of our fist is the size of our heart. Does size matter? Our hands are extensions of our heart. They do the work of Spirit in our world. They touch and heal, bring comfort and destruction. Does the function of our hands reveal how much love we give in our lives?

The largest mammal in the sea is the blue whale. Its heart is as big as a VW beetle. These great creatures can be 100 feet long. God provides for them 3 to 4 thousand tons of krill a day. In Native American teachings the whale is the record keeper. Maybe their hearts are so big to hold the many lessons in love that we all share.

Love is in every atom of space. Science is now looking for the "God Particle." It is really looking for the "life force." This life force is known as chi, ki, prana or adamatine particles. These particles are the building blocks of every "structure" of the universe.

"Love commands the adamantine particles, thus is being love you take command of your life." (Glenda Green, "Love Without End")

I like to say, "Love IS the life force!"

"Tears are excess blood." (Bishop Amy, Church of Tzaddi) Years ago women were probably more in touch with their emotions then they are now. They probably cried more and had less heart problems. Now they are right up there with the men in the numbers of heart attacks. Has the notion of crying being weakness been accepted by women? When I start crying it usually begins with one thought. Then I go down the "list" and cry for many things and people.

The heart is the strongest muscle in the body, maybe that's why it can be the fountain of love generated in our lives. According to the Yogi, Yogananda, "There is an estimate of 4 oz. of blood expelled by each contraction of the two ventricles of the heart. The weight of blood during one minute will amount to l8 pounds. In a day it will amount to 12 tons, in one year 4,000 tons."nn©2008 Merry C. Battlesnnnn n

To answer your question, let’s study the following words of Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, an Enlightened being, very carefully. He says: “This puzzle has come about on its own, governed by the laws of science. I am telling you that this world is run only by Scientific Circumstantial Evidences. In Gujarati, I call it 'Vyavasthit Shakti'... It is all run by scientific circumstantial evidences. The whole world is run by this energy. These words are not easy to understand, unless
