SCIENCE OF SPIRITUALITY – 21

SCIENCE – A PART OF SPIRITUALITY

VethathiriDasan - Prof. Dr. Madhavan Ph.D.,
1. INTRODUCTION

Science is based on two. One the datum base line on which the second one the
knowledge is made or proved. It is like knowledge is built on non - knowledge
(ignorance). Without ignorance, intelligent cannot arise. The creation of nature offers a
series of endless wonders. Science takes away the wonder by revealing the secrets of
nature; further utilizing those secrets for the betterment of mankind in their living.

Science is expressed by comparison and contrasts, and therefore it is highly relative.

There are no absolute terms in science. Even if there are some they are just
mathematical abstracts or used as a reference to explain some concepts

Science is an endless search for the ultimate truth. Spirituality starts from the ultimate
truth whether it is assumed or imagined, it is the very life that we live. A truth cannot be
two but one. Therefore the twosome relative science dissolves into Onesome spirituality
the absolute truth.

2. SCIENCE IS DIVIDED / SPIRITUALITY IS HOLISTIC

Divide & rule is not only a political mantra but is also a valid philosophy for the
development of science. Whether the nature of the universe is holistic or divided is a
redundant question for those who keep on dividing it to get a better understanding of it.
For them the meaning of holistic is out of syllabus. The Physicists keep on smashing the
sub atomic particles (Hadron Collider) to get a clear picture or proof for the quarks. If this
is true then the universe is just filled with quarks though they appear as filled with bigger
movable and immovable products. Then is it not right to say that science keeps on
studying those appear differently to each other and not the one that is holistically real.

Nature as holistic is spirituality. The same nature when seen as different and divided is
science. Science survives on delta the differential. It can be relative to each other or even
relative to the one that is the single source or space or the unified force of all.

The problem with science is that the Scientist (subject) observes the Nature (object)
which he thinks is different but it is a part of the subject itself. Therefore the quest for
science is endless until they take a different perspective to observe the very self it self.

3. EMERGING NEW SCIENCE – SPIRITUAL UNIFIED SCIENCE

Quantum physics is breaking the path of particle physics as well as the belief in cause &
effect. What happens here is non local and uncertain. When Newtonian God, the
mechanical ruler of the machine like Universe, moving like a clock work, failed to satisfy
the New Physicists, as many of them became interested in the deeper philosophical
implications of Quantum Physics.
 When Heisenberg experimentally proved that things may happen without any cause,
causality is broken. Quantum physics established non causality as a Truth. Max Planck
wrote “though the order of nature is admitted as inevitably predetermined by the supreme
cause, yet the causal chain in the world itself may at any time be interrupted by the
intervention of a supernatural power”. This is so in Biology, as its rules have always been
of a statistical character.

Scientists always have to face irrationality at some point of time. This is where Faith
becomes a beginning to lead them to mystic revelations of nature to scientific
formulations of understanding. New discoveries are a greater enlargement of
Indeterminacy and a refinement of it.

Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of nature. That is because in the last analysis
we ourselves are part of the nature and therefore we ourselves become the part of the
mystery we are trying to solve. Spirituality uses therefore terms like Self Realization.
Psychology uses terms like Self Actualisation. All this indicate that seeing nature outside
oneself is self defeating and seeing nature within oneself is rewarding towards the
development of science to the Spiritual Unified Science.

4. SCIENCE A PART OF SPIRITUALITY

Scientist is an ordinary person with a searching mind, evaluating mathematician and an

experimenting technician. The beginning of Science is in the minds of people. Therefore
Science is incomplete without mind. There is a tremendous need to understand the
source of mind, the functions of mind and the working of mind – the entire gamut of mind.
Mind in totality is Spiritual and in fraction is you & me.

You & me gives the split and no unison. Hence there is lack of unity among people.
That’s why all spiritual leaders emphasized the need to treat others as their own self.
Branches of a tree may give fruits from their respective branches, but they all come from
the same tree. Particles, forces, waves, character, behavior, energy, molecules, cells
etc., may be different fruits but all of them have evolved from the same tree the unified
spirituality.

Particle is a force, energy, mass for general science. But what is surrounding the particle
is a question for the general scientists. Like wise a particle may suddenly appear or
disappear without any reason or rhyme for quantum science. From where and to whereto
the particles emerge or end is a question for the quantum scientists.

Vethathirian philosophy comes handy and provides some clues to ponder. God, Almighty,
Brahmam, Unified force, Supernatural power etc., may be the words that refer and mean
one and the same thing. In fact the so called science is only a grand child of Holy
Scriptures and Spirituality. Most of the Scientists by themselves are more spiritual than
their materialistic molecules. Spirituality is the substratum for all that exits.
 God as such do not exist but Godliness. Personal Gods or personified Gods are just a
methodology for understanding, like mathematics used for science. Mathematics can
never replace the secrets of nature. According to Vethathirian Science, the entire
Universe is a self transformation of Absolute space – the Almighty, the Gravity. The
absolute space by itself is the Omni potent, Omni force / energy, Omni consciousness
and Omni time. These in relative differences evolve into the Universe and its endless
objects and functions. The search of Stephen Hawkins for the edge of the Universe ends
here with the Absolute space. Being Spiritual makes great Scientists for the future. Let all
Scientists prepare for the future!
