Guest guest Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 Thus Spake The Lord We are on Earth; around it revolves the Moon. Both the Earth and the Moon are illumined by the Sun. Dependent on the Sun, planets like Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto and Saturn, dutifully move along the prescribed orbits, at different speeds. Their satellites too belong to the solar family. When we lift our eyes up at the sky at night, we notice stars beyond numbers. And in the Milky Way, we see thick masses of star clusters. There are, in space, more than ten thousand crores of stars, and of the galaxies in the Milky Way and elsewhere, we have more than ten crores. Without being lost in numbers, we must ponder over the mystery of the Unity and Harmony of this Cosmic Projection. The Sun is about 90 million miles distant from our Earth. The most distant planet so far known is Pluto, which is nearly 3670 million miles away from the Sun. It takes 248 long years to make one journey round the Sun. Well! Has God planned all these heavenly bodies out of sheer caprice? Or does He intend to convey any lesson through these happenings? Reference: Sathya Sai Speaks; Vol. XV, P. 79-80.
