The Same Song Beneath All Things
When Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose studied metals and plants, he discovered something profound. Plants responded to touch, light, and sound as though they had nerves of their own. Metals showed fatigue and recovery as if they were alive. To Bose, the line between life and lifelessness blurred. All matter — living or inanimate — seemed bound by the same laws, carrying the same pulse.
Modern science echoes this vision. In string theory, physicists propose that the entire universe — atoms, stars, living beings — is made of tiny vibrating strings. The same fabric, the same vibrations, create everything we see and everything we cannot.
Bose’s experiments and string theory’s mathematics whisper the same truth the Bible has declared all along: that God is the Creator of all things, and all creation bears His imprint.
“In Him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible… all things have been created through Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.” — Colossians 1:16–17
“The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.” — Psalm 24:1
“For from Him and through Him and for Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever! Amen.” — Romans 11:36
“Lord, You preserve both man and beast. How precious is Your steadfast love, O God!” — Psalm 36:6–7
Reflection
How often do we divide creation — into living and non-living, sacred and ordinary, human and nature? Yet Scripture, science, and spirituality remind us: all things flow from one Source.
Bose showed that plants and metals respond under stress as if they were kin.
String Theory suggests that all matter is music, vibrations of one great string.
Paramahansa Yogananda taught that all paths of truth, no matter the religion, lead back to the One.
The Bible has always proclaimed that in Christ “all things hold together” (Col. 1:17).
This is no accident. It is design. It is God.
God is not simply the Creator of humanity. He is the Creator of matter itself, of the rhythms beneath perception, of the galaxies unseen, of life in every hidden corner. What we call “different” — a stone, a tree, a star, a soul — is only a difference of form, not of origin.
When we truly see this, it changes everything. Suddenly the boundaries fade:
A tree is not just wood, but the breath of God made visible.
A stone is not just dead matter, but part of His eternal song.
The stranger across from me is not “other,” but one who shares the same divine imprint.
We are all, in the deepest sense, creatures of God — not only humanity, but the whole universe.
Closing Prayer
Creator of Heaven and Earth,
You are the Source of all things, seen and unseen, known and unknown. The stars, the soil, the breath in my lungs, the rhythm of life in plants and people — all are held together by Your Word. Teach me to live with reverence for every form, to see Your design in every vibration, to honor You in every creature and creation. Let me remember that all rivers of truth, whether through science, faith, or philosophy, lead back to You — the one eternal Source.
Amen.
