Divine Love Isotropic


Transcript:

In his commentary on love, the aphorisms of love, or the Bhakti Sutras, Maharishi Narada makes an interesting point. He says that divine love is completely equal for everybody. It does not depend on your social status. It does not depend whether you are a believer or non-believer. It does not depend whether you're a priest or an ordinary person. It is exactly the same for absolutely everybody and everything. Divine love.

The technical word for something that is exactly the same in all directions that you measure it in is called "isotropic." So divine love is perfectly isotropic.

Interestingly, everything you see around you is, at some length scales, anisotropic. The uniformity disappears. You take a piece of wood that looks perfectly uniform; you start cutting it from one direction versus the other; you'll notice there is a difference. It becomes anisotropic. Even space — space that is so uniform — at sufficiently fine length scales like the Planck scale, it becomes anisotropic. Even space.

But divine love is perfectly isotropic, no matter what length scales you measure it at. This is amazing.
