Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of the universe.+

Max Planck ~Father of quantum physics says: ~ Science has no answer to it. Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of nature. And that is because, in the last analysis, we are part of the mystery that we are trying to solve.

The truth of the universe cannot be got under the microscope. When all their invention fails to yield the truth they have to use their reason to reach the ultimate core of their existence.

Mundaka Upanishad 1.3:~ Complete knowledge includes knowledge of the phenomenal world, the spirit behind it, and the source of both of them. When the cause of all causes becomes known, then everything knowable becomes known, and nothing remains unknown is Gnana.”

Both modern science and religion offer hypotheses and theories, but there is one vital difference--science begins with facts which it collects; religion begins with fancies. Science evolves its hypotheses from such facts, religion from fancies.

Science declares that oxygen combines with hydrogen to give water. And it also declares oxygen is protons or electrons. But in pursuit of truth, the whole physical existence (universe or mind) is considered as an illusion, and science and its inventions, which are based on physical existence are limited to physical existence. The truth is within, but it is beyond physical existence. Science demands physical proof. But the physical proof is part of the illusion. Hence, science cannot go beyond physicality because the truth cannot be traced in laboratory conditions. Deeper self-search is required if one wants to push its quest deeply enough.

Mundaka Upanishad:~ The study of the Vedas, linguistics, Rituals, astronomy, and all the arts Can be called lower knowledge. The higher Is that which leads to Self-realization. The eye cannot see it; the mind cannot grasp it. The deathless Self has neither caste nor race, Neither the eyes nor ears nor hands nor feet. Sages say this Self is infinite in the great And in the small, everlasting and changeless, The source of life.

Dualists Gurus believed in a plurality of minds or selves and also in Prakriti matter. The Dualist Gurus thought ultimately existed in the form of particles similar to our atomic theory. But recent science has killed the atomic theory and matter has vanished with it. Hence modern dualists fear science and try to avoid it.

The scientists say they do not know the mysteries beyond. In the future, they may discover something new.” The mystics say: That mystery unknown to science is known to them. the Mystic truth is the individual truth, not universal.

How do the mystics know they have experienced the whole? There is no proof they have seen it because the truth of the whole is beyond any experience. The experience implies duality. The duality is not a reality.

When mystics say: “I know from experience” they merely mean I think so.” If mystics experience joy, they cannot be egoless, for who is having the joy? And if they are egocentric they cannot know the Universal truth or Brahman, the whole.

Mystics may say that the Spirit is the source of all good, but the question of questions is how do they know that it is the source? That is mere scholastic dogma until an attempt to show, analyze, and prove that it is the source, is made when it becomes spirituality.

When one does not know the truth, he can only guess, imagine, hence doubts and questions and urge to realize the ultimate truth arises.

Disappointments in religion or mysticism or yoga or even science imply error or ignorance. And it creates doubts and confusion. The seeker is unsure whether he is treading on the right path? There is no certainty that he is proceeding on the right path. The doubts arise and the inquiring spirit comes and impels us to search elsewhere for the truth.

The seeker searches for the path, where it will not be possible even to have any doubts and confusion. The test is therefore in realization. And only in the non-dualistic perspective, where there are no two to argue about views or to have the difference of opinion can such doubtlessness be possible. Belief depends on the ego, which is unreal and impermanent, whereas certainty depends on the Soul, the ‘Self’, which is real and eternal.

People must indulge in deeper ‘Self’-search, everybody will not be able to grasp the Advaitic truth. The Advaitic truth cannot be assumed, it has to be realized. “What the majority believes as truth cannot be accepted as truth without deeper verification." People stop with their imaginations about God, Reality, Truth, and do not go to the bitter end.

One cannot get rid of ignorance. It is only by deeper self-search, he knows what is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

The seeker has to get rid of all his doubts. The seeker should not simply go on believing everything he is been told or heard or read. The seeker of the truth the doubt is to be got rid of "by the sword of ‘Self’- knowledge or Brahma Gnana. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
