“Young at Heart” Blog #224

Do I somehow get my heart broken too easily?

Are thoughts racing down a track with no way back?

Can my heart be at peace and accept me?

Did you know that Albert Einstein did not speak at all for the first three years of his life?

Finally in school he could speak. Even though he got good grades, his teachers thought

him to be lazy, uncaring, shiftless. Albert Einstein was always distracted by abstract

concepts. It was hard for him to be accepted, the teachers at school did not believe in

him. Many adults around his learning world of education did not show any confidence in

who he could become. However this is quite astounding, Albert Einstein rose over and

above all the negativity around him to develop the Theory of Relativity. Who would ever

believe this was true? Albert Einstein is often called the “Father of Modern Physics”. One

might ask, “What is the theory of relativity? In simple words, the theory of relativity

transformed our understanding of space, time and gravity! Just a couple of additional

pointers, he discovered the speed of light in a vacuum is constant.

Albert Einstein published The Theory of Relativity in 1915. This wise man used his thinking

processes to come up with “thought experiments”, such as imagining an observer free

falling in an elevator, to help develop his theory.

Albert Einsteins theories provided a deep understanding of the fundamental nature of the

universe. This is a man who won the Nobel Prize for Physics. He was also deeply religious

and knew in his heart, unconditionally, who made this world and everything in it. HIs legacy

has inspired and challenged scientists for over a hundred years. Imagine IF he had

listened to any of those teachers who thought him to be “lazy, shiftless and uncaring? At

the end of Albert Einstens'‘ life he was a believer. He believed that God is a comprehensible

mystery. He had nothing but awe when he observed Gods’ world of nature and the laws of

nature. Albert said, “there cannot be laws without a lawgiver”. Then he states” religion

is necessary for science to exist. A person’s intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the

rational mind is a faithful servant of God”. He accepted Jesus of Nazareth was a real

person. He ended his life believing this, “no one can read the Gospels without actually

feeling the presence of Jesus. His personality pulsates in HIS every word”.

Isn’t it fascinating how everything that goes around, comes around? Even Albert Einstein

who started his life believing in God and then challenged his own beliefs, came full circle to

see and believe there can be no science with out God. He said, “I searched for an escape

from my seemingly hopeless and demoralizing chase after ones desires, indeed I found

within myself a deep religiosity, a religious paradise”.

One morning I woke up and was filled with sadness, despair and worry for a family

member who I had no way of physically helping. I tried to let it go as I prayed and then I

became acutely aware that “God helps those who help themself”. This family member

was stuck beyond any measure of understanding. So what did I still do? I prayed. I prayed

and prayed again. Then I turned on the radio and this song I share today.

Can I believe my heart is healing, regardless of what I go through?
