OLD HERMIT'S ALMANAC
Birthday of Albert Einstein, 1879 The famous father of
E=MC2, when asked for his telephone number on one
occasion, went and looked it up in a telephone book. The
surprised questioner asked, "A man as brilliant as you
does not know his own telephone number?" To which
Einstein replied, "I have far more important things to keep
in mind than something I can look up in a book!
His response can be a wake-up call for us concerning the
sort of things with which we fill our minds. Today,
examine the kind of things that fill up your mind. In 1930
in What I Believe, Einstein said, "The most beautiful thing
we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all
true art and science."
The mysterious is also the source if all great religions. Do
not be ashamed if your beliefs are beyond scientific or
rational explanations but are truly mysterious. For true
science, as Einstein and other great scientists have
shown, is a cooperation with the Divine Creator in
bringing understanding to what was once not
understood. At the same time, Einstein understood the
profound truth that some things are beyond scientific
explanations: such realities as God, prayer, grace, love,
faith, and hope.
As we celebrate the birthday of one of the greatest giants
of the 20th century, reverence the mysterious in your life.
