Priya Nath had been a nuclear physicist at Harvard University and had been keenly interested in Einstein’s Theory of Relativity because of its mystical import. The Theory of Relativity was divinely inspired without a shadow of doubts. “All the scientific discoveries, all the inventions of science, are like the revelations given to various prophets of various religions. The entire process of evolution–material as well as spiritual, comes from God alone.”Einstein was working as a clerk in a patent office when the epoch-making Theory of Relativity came to him.“The most beautiful and most profound emotion we can experience is the sensation of the mystical. It is the power of all true science… to know that what is impenetrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the Highest Wisdom and the Most Radiant Beauty, which our dull faculties can comprehend only in their most primitive forms…this knowledge, this feeling is at the center of true religiousness.”Priya Nath had lectured in America on Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity and audiences had been spellbound and acknowledged him as one of the best exponents of the theory for the layman. “Piyaji, kyaa kamaal kar deeya hai aapne is kitaab men. Isse jaane do “Priyaji, you have performed wonders in writing this book. Let it go out to the scientific circles. Send it to America and re-establish contact with your friends there!”But Priya Nath is much too engrossed in Shri Nathji to think about the rest of the world. When someone tells him he has made a great ‘sacrifice’ in quitting America, he says: “A sacrifice is made when one leaves a higher thing and comes to a smaller one. In my case, I have left a very small thing, Harvard and America – and have come to the Greatest Being upon earth. It is no sacrifice, but rather a promotion!”
