In this essay, I wish to share a novel perspective which envisions universalization as a guide from the classical world to relativistic and quantum world. It is the incorporation of zero mass particle in mechanics which leads to special relativity while its interaction with a universal field shared by all particles leads to general relativity. We also give a very simple classical argument to show that why the universal force has to be attractive. We try to envisage what sort of directions does this principle of universality point to for the world beyond general relativity?
