KNOWING THE KNOWN

Discover Your Creator

ISAAC NEWTON was the first to discover the gravitational pull of the earth. He published his well-known work titled: ‘Principia’ in 1687, in which he described the universal law of gravitation. The world was then made familiar with the phenomenon of gravitation.

The gravitational force of the earth is a great blessing of the Creator to man. It is due to this that we enjoy stability on the earth, and can remain here on this planet. All the features of the earth, including modern civilization, is a direct gift of the earth’s gravitational pull. Before Newton, it existed, but no one was aware of this natural phenomenon.

This example shows how it is that things exist but people are unaware of their existence.

Man has a habit of taking things for granted. He seldom tries to find out anything about them. This is a common human weakness. God has bestowed numerous blessings, which are enjoyed by all human beings. They utilize these blessings but they never try to understand them in any deeper sense. This unawareness of man is nothing but ignorance. They avail of all this natural bounty without acknowledging their Giver.

Man has a habit of taking things for granted. God has bestowed numerous blessings, which are enjoyed by all human beings. They utilize these blessings but they never try to understand them in any deeper sense.

This ignorance of man is a genuinely serious problem. Due to this, man has failed to realize the existence of the Creator. He has failed to develop the spirit of modesty, to understand the need for a sense of accountability. Due to this, man has failed to discover the purpose of life, and to discover his relationship with God.
