The geometrical nature of Einstein's theory of gravitation is pointed out, and it is shown that the concepts of gravitational forces and potentials are redundant. It is pointed out that gravitation manifests itself as a deviation of geodesic world-lines of particles, and not as a deviation of the world-line of a body from the geodesic as postulated by Voracek (1987). The standard interpretation of Einstein's theory is thus shown to be the simplest, and to pose no problems with the absence of forces for freely falling objects.
