A letter from Albert Einstein to his daughter: on The Universal Force of Love
I
deeply regret not having been able to express what is in my heart,
which has quietly beaten for you all my life. Maybe it's too late to
apologize, but as time is relative, I need to tell you that I love you
and thanks to you I have reached the ultimate answer! "
In the
late 1980s, Lieserl, the daughter of the famous genius, donated 1,400
letters, written by Einstein, to the Hebrew University, with orders not
to publish their contents until two decades after his death. This is one
of them, for Lieserl Einstein.
I ask you to guard the letters as
long as necessary, years, decades, until society is advanced enough to
accept what I will explain below.
"When I proposed the theory of
relativity, very few understood me, and what I will reveal now to
transmit to mankind will also collide with the misunderstanding and
prejudice in the world.
There is an extremely powerful force that, so
far, science has not found a formal explanation to. It is a force that
includes and governs all others, and is even behind any phenomenon
operating in the universe and has not yet been identified by us. This
universal force is LOVE.
When scientists looked for a unified
theory of the universe they forgot the most powerful unseen force. Love
is Light, that enlightens those who give and receive it. Love is
gravity, because it makes some people feel attracted to others. Love is
power, because it multiplies the best we have, and allows humanity not
to be extinguished in their blind selfishness. Love unfolds and reveals.
For love we live and die. Love is God and God is Love.
This
force explains everything and gives meaning to life. This is the
variable that we have ignored for too long, maybe because we are afraid
of love because it is the only energy in the universe that man has not
learned to drive at will.
To give visibility to love, I made a
simple substitution in my most famous equation. If instead of E = mc2,
we accept that the energy to heal the world can be obtained through love
multiplied by the speed of light squared, we arrive at the conclusion
that love is the most powerful force there is, because it has no limits.
After
the failure of humanity in the use and control of the other forces of
the universe that have turned against us, it is urgent that we nourish
ourselves with another kind of energy…
If we want our species to
survive, if we are to find meaning in life, if we want to save the world
and every sentient being that inhabits it, love is the one and only
answer.
Perhaps we are not yet ready to make a bomb of love, a
device powerful enough to entirely destroy the hate, selfishness and
greed that devastate the planet.
However, each individual carries within them a small but powerful generator of love whose energy is waiting to be released.
When
we learn to give and receive this universal energy, dear Lieserl, we
will have affirmed that love conquers all, is able to transcend
everything and anything, because love is the quintessence of life.
I
deeply regret not having been able to express what is in my heart,
which has quietly beaten for you all my life. Maybe it's too late to
apologize, but as time is relative, I need to tell you that I love you
and thanks to you I have reached the ultimate answer! ".
