46 : THE GRAVITATION LAW OF PERFORMANCE (NOT ONE OF NEWTON)

British scientist Isaac Newton 's observation of falling apple led to the discovery of the landmark gravitation laws. This suggests that the planets have their own gravitation force that pulls its nearby objects to its center. Accordingly, if you are a moon-bound astronaut, your spacecraft will feel the pull of earth's gravitation and farther you go away from the earth, your pull will be weakened. When you cross into moon's gravitation zone, you feel gravitation force away from earth and toward the moon and progressive closeness to the moon will make its pull stronger.

The above gravitation law applies to the case of performance (good or bad) as well. Let us take the case of good actions first. In conformity with normal human psychology, the more good actions you do (particularly under influence of honest environment), the more you will feel a natural tendency or pull of your righteous mind to do more of the same. The theological explanation of this is that the instigative force of the Satan will be weakened as you apply your will force to practice good actions. This squarely matches with the commitment of God to protect His righteous servants from Satanic influences. We see the application of this gravitation law during the fasting month of Ramadan when you tend to do more of pious actions.

The same law applies to bad performances as well. When you do more and more of sinful actions, your conscience becomes increasingly blackened and therefore you lose needed brightness of mind to overpower the ever stronger tendency to do sins. In such a situation, Satan will reinforce your love for sins and in the absence of God's rescue plan, you mind will feel gravitated toward further sins which will ultimately invite your devastating consequences. For your protection from this, you should therefore take advantage of your any available good environment and apply your stronger will force to defeat Satanic influence. This may be likened to the higher speed (about 18,000 miles per hour) needed for a rocket to overpower earth's gravitation force in order to go beyond.
