GOD GAVE YOU GRAVITY SO YOU COULD LEARN TO RISE
GOD GAVE YOU GRAVITY SO YOU COULD LEARN TO RISE The
Earth Pulls You Down Every Second, Yet You Were Made to Stand, Climb
and Fly—Because the Best Mentor Does Not Remove Resistance; He Trains
You to Rise Above It Gravity has been pulling you downward from the day
you were born. Yet you learned to stand. Then walk. Then run. Human beings
eventually learned even to fly. Gravity never disappeared. We became capable
of rising despite it. What if this simple truth contains a profound lesson about
life? ⸻ In God Gave You Gravity So You Could Learn to Rise, Dr. Abhishek
Gilara explores resistance, fear, failure, mentorship, responsibility, karma and
surrender through two deeply personal observations. A conversation with his
wife, Deepa, makes him question why some people use fear to keep others
dependent—and why true mentorship should create courage rather than
captivity.
Then, inside a chair factory in China, he watches chairs being subjected to weights, pressure and repeated jerks in a quality-
control department. For a moment, the chairs become human beings in his imagination. The machines become life. And one
thought changes everything: THE QUALITY-CONTROL MACHINE WAS NOT THE ENEMY OF THE CHAIR. IT WAS
REVEALING WHETHER THE CHAIR WAS READY. What if some of life’s resistance can be used in the same way? Not
to glorify suffering. Not to tolerate injustice. Not to call every adversity a divine test. But to ask a better question: “WHAT IS
THIS REVEALING IN ME—AND WHAT CAN I STRENGTHEN?” Through business, parenting, physical training, spirituality,
leadership, family legacy and the wisdom of karma, this book asks us to stop seeing every difficulty merely as something
standing in our way. Sometimes the weight is showing us where the muscle needs to grow. Sometimes failure is sending us
back to the manufacturing floor. Sometimes a closed door is asking us to find another route. Sometimes the mentor who refuses
to carry us is the mentor preparing us to walk without him. And sometimes the prayer does not need to be: “God, remove
the weight.” Perhaps it can also become: “GOD, MAKE ME CAPABLE OF CARRYING IT.” This is a book about standing
without becoming arrogant. Struggling without becoming hopeless. Receiving help without becoming permanently dependent.
Becoming strong without suppressing others. Doing your karma without imagining you control everything. And finally
surrendering without using surrender as an excuse for inaction. Because— SURRENDER IS NOT LYING ON THE
GROUND AND BLAMING GRAVITY. SURRENDER IS RISING WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH AND THEN ACCEPTING
WHAT REMAINS BEYOND YOUR CONTROL. You were never promised a world without gravity. Perhaps you were
given something greater: the capacity to rise.
