OTHER PLANETS

While there are drop-bubbles or forms evolving all the time, one might say that there are also wave-bubbles or forms evolving. These are chains or ranges of earths, or gross worlds. Some of them have only stones upon them. Some have stones and wind. Some have stones, wind and metals. Some have stones, wind, metals and water. Others have stones, wind, metals, water and vegetation. Some have stones, wind, metals, water, vegetation and animals, and the main chain, which is closest to the Creation point of God, contains all the above plus human beings.

Our own earth is billions of years old and will last billions of years more. However, one day it will become a moon like our present moon (a cooled-down earth) is. Another earth will take its place when it slips aside.

Our earth, according to Meher Baba, is linked with two other planets like a tree with two branches. The people on one of these planets have 100% intelligence and no love. They are far more intelligent than we are. On the other planet the people have a ratio of 75% intellect and 25% love. Eventually they reincarnate on our earth, because only on our earth is true love in all its forms and relationships really learned.

And, if we are to achieve the goal of our long journey, we will have to learn to love divinely, for God IS love and God IS divine. He can never be reached or understood through the intellect.

So, after innumerable lifetimes, people from those planets must incarnate here to learn the biggest lesson of all — love: love for home, kindred and country, marital love, parental love, love for animals, etc., etc., and eventually, love for God.
