• All the forces that we see in nature, such as gravitation, attraction, and repulsion, or as thought, feeling, and nervous motion - all these various forces resolve into that Prana, and the vibration of the Prana ceases. In that state it remains until the beginning of the next cycle. Prana then begins to vibrate, and that vibration acts upon the Akasha, and all these forms are thrown out in regular succession.

• It seems safe to look forward to the time when the conception of attractive and repulsive forces, having served its purpose as a useful piece of scientific scaffolding, will be replaced by the deduction of the phenomena known as attraction and repulsion, from the general laws of motion.

• Love has been taken away from the poets, and has been brought within the domain of true science. It may prove to be one of the great cosmic elementary forces. When the atom of hydrogen draws the atom of chlorine towards it to form the perfected molecule of hydrochloric acid, the force which it exerts may be intrinsically similar to that which draws me to you. Attraction and repulsion appear to be the primary forces. This is attraction.

• The more one studies the harmony of music, and then studies human nature, how people agree and how they disagree, how there is attraction and repulsion, the more one will see that it is all music.

• Lo que pone en movimiento los mundos es la interacción de las diferencias, sus atracciones y repulsiones. La vida es pluralidad, la muerte es uniformidad. Al suprimir las diferencias y peculiaridades, al eliminar las diferentes civilizaciones y culturas, el progreso debilita la vida y favorece la muerte. El ideal de una civilización única para todos, implícito en el culto al progreso y a la técnica, nos empobrece y mutila. Cada visión del mundo que se extingue, cada cultura que desaparece, disminuye una posibilidad de vida

  Octavio Paz

• Aunque se caigan las flores, no te arrepientas. Aunque crezcan malas hierbas, no las odies. No despiertes las pasiones de atracción y repulsión, odio y amor. Si tan sólo no despertamos las pasiones, la caída de las flores y el crecimiento de las malas hierbas tal como son es la realidad absoluta manifiesta.

  Hakuun Yasutani

• Las mentes varían en sensibilidad y en poder propio, como los cuerpos en susceptibilidad de atracción y repulsión. ¿Cuándo, cuándo aprenderemos que están gobernadas por leyes tan inexorables como las leyes físicas, y que un hombre puede negarse tan fácilmente a obedecer lo que tiene poder sobre él como un átomo de acero puede resistirse al imán?

• In the West, there's a myth that freedom means free expression-that to follow all desires wherever they take one is true freedom. In fact, as one serves the mind, one sees that following desires, attractions, and repulsions is not at all freedom, but is a kind of bondage. A mind filled with desires and grasping inevitably entails great suffering. Freedom is not to be gained through the ability to perform certain external actions. True freedom is an inward state of being. Once it is attained, no situation in the world can bind one or limit one's freedom.

  Jack Kornfield
