I am unable to understand this said by The Mother. Please explain to me: “You must use everything for the purpose for which it is given, otherwise you commit a crime. I am not speaking merely of physical things. All the inner things that I am giving you all the time, all the strength, light, energy and life that are being poured into you all the time, are meant for the service of the Divine, for the sake of transforming you.

In the 1920s, Edwin Hubble discovered that Galaxies are moving away from us, and the farther they are, the faster they move. This means the universe is expanding. If it’s expanding, we can “rewind the clock” and see that all matter must have been closer together in the past, leading to the Big Bang. So by measuring the rate of expansion, scientists can calculate how long the universe has been expanding. Does that make sense? 👨🏼‍🔬🛰️🌌🪐
