GRAVITATION

In the physical sense, gravitation is a natural phenomenon by which all physical bodies attract each other.  It is most commonly experienced as the agent that gives weight to objects with mass, and causes them to fall to the ground when dropped.

But there is also spiritual gravitation.  This is likewise a natural phenomenon and is how we are attracted to God and God to us.

Vedanta speaks of this in terms of the Atman and its source the Brahman.  The Atman and the Brahman are drawn to each other naturally, and when, through spiritual disciplines, the Atman awakens into Brahman, there is a completion, and a return of equilibrium, like after a rock falls to the ground.
