With intellectual blindness, no one can achieve the realization of God. EXPLANATION OF THE UNIVERSE Modern studies in physics have shown that, some 13.8 billion years ago, there was a highly dense cosmic ball comprising all the particles of the universe in space. An explosion occurred in this ball, called the Big Bang. It is said to have been the beginning of the universe. It is also said that soon after this explosion, another event occurred, with the particles in the ball spreading in outward motion in the vast expanse at great speed. After this, in stages, the present universe came into being. The entire cosmos evolved from the original, highly compressed, scorching gas, taking the form of galaxies of stars, cosmic dust, meteorites, and asteroids. The present outward motion of the galaxies is a result of this explosion. The fact that the particles in the ‘cosmic ball’ rapidly spread
