Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of the universe. Sage Sankara unfolded the mystery of the universe and also the mystery of God.+

All scientific inventions are based on the dualistic perspective whereas the ultimate truth of existence is based on the nondualistic perspective. 

Scientific inventions are limited to the domain of form, time, and space whereas the truth is formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

When the scientists and the world in which they exist and their inventions are created out of single stuff. And that single stuff is the consciousness. Knowledge of the single stuff is Advaita. 

Advaita is the rational truth, scientific truth, the ultimate truth, and universal truth cannot be contradicted. Sage  Sankara declared the Advaitic truth 1200 years ago.

One day the scientist also will confirm and declare that the universe is nothing but consciousness.

Humanity has to appreciate the high flights of Sage Sankara’s Advaitic wisdom is one of the 'most majestic structures and valuable products of the Genius of man in his search for Truth.

The scientists now concluded that you are not the brain (body). Consciousness requires the joint operation of the brain, body, and the world. "You are not your brain. The brain, rather, is part of what you are."

The Biology of Consciousness

By Alva Noë. Hill and Wang, 2009

 Alva Noe, a University of California, Berkeley, philosopher, and cognitive scientist, argues that after decades of a concerted effort on the part of neuroscientists, psychologists, and philosophers "only one proposition about how the brain makes us conscious ... has emerged unchallenged: we don't have a clue." The reason we have been unable to explain the neural basis of consciousness, he says, is that it does not take place in the brain. Consciousness is not something that happens inside us but something we achieve it is more like dancing than it is like the digestive process. To understand consciousness the fact that we think and feel and that the world shows up for us we need to look at a larger system in which the brain is only one element. Consciousness requires the joint operation of the brain, body, and the world. "You are not your brain. The brain, rather, is part of what you are."

Thus, science is going in the right direction in its invention and one day it will declare that everything is consciousness, which Sage Sri, Sankara declared 1200 years back ~ everything is Atman- because Atman is present in the form of the consciousness. 

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.”

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 ourselves are part of the mystery that we are trying to solve.

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 an illusion, and science and its inventions, which are based on physical existence are limited to physical existence. 

The truth is hidden by physical existence. The 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.

Common people and primitive minds fall into faulty thinking through their inherited conditioning, such as faulty thinking and reasoning make them accept the experience of birth, life, and death as a reality; taking what one sees through the senses as real, taking what is apparently obvious and superficial as true because it is less troublesome.

Remember:~ 

Sage  Sankara unfolded the mystery of the universe and also the mystery of God.

Sage Sankara is the father of the Advaitic wisdom. Advaitic wisdom is nothing to do with orthodox Advaita, which is dualistic. Orthodox Advaita is a sect, which blindly accepts and follows dogmas and superstitions.

Without Sage Sankara, there is no Advaita (non-duality). Since it was mixed up with orthodoxy there is a lot of confusion. Sage Sankara’s quotes (selected verified) are quoted in my blogs and postings to show what Sage Sankara meant and ‘what is blocking the seekers from realizing the ultimate truth or Brahman.

The Advaitic orthodoxy is not the means to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. Advaitic orthodoxy is meant for the ignorant populace that is unfit to grasp the highest truth.

The Advaitic orthodoxy has nothing to do with the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth. Advaitic wisdom is rational and scientific without dogmas.

Sage Sankara’s wisdom has nothing to do with the religious orthodox sect.

Swami Vivekananda aptly described Sage Sankara’s Advaita as the fairest flower of philosophy that any country in any age has produced.

The Advaitic wisdom is a rational or scientific propagated by  Sage Sankara centuries back, but unfortunately, the original essence of the rational Advaita is lost mainly, because of orthodox adulteration and add-ons, which are based on the ego (waking entity), which is the false self within the false experience (waking).

Sage Sankara declared the Advaitic truth 1200 years ago but it was hidden and a chosen few will be able to find the hidden treasure.

Even scientists declare in the future the world will be nothing but consciousness Sage  Sankara alone is qualified for the Nobel Prize, not the scientists because Sage  Sankara declared it 1200 years ago.

Sage Sankara’s Advaitic wisdom has been lost: people misinterpret and falsify. Advaita is not a theory but Advaita is the rational truth, the scientific truth, and the ultimate truth. But nobody knows it. The teachers of philosophy and the Gurus or religion do not want to inquire into truth and have no time for it.

Sage Sankara’s Advaitic wisdom has nothing to do with religion. Thus, all his religious teaching which are meant for the ignorant populace has to be bifurcated from his wisdom. 

There are so many non-dualistic masters of the East and also from the West who expound on Advaitic or non-dualistic knowledge, but none of them help reach the ultimate end. 

Remember:~  

Sage  Sankara was the first scientist who discovered the mystery of the universe many centuries ago.

Sage Sankara did not have a Ph.D. from Harvard or Oxford universities in the world. 

Sage  Sankara was the first scientist who discovered the mystery of the universe many centuries back without educational qualifications. 

If rightly interpreted Sage Sankara’s Advaitic wisdom is spiritual food for humanity. Advaitic wisdom is the universal wisdom par excellence. Advaitic wisdom is not just a not a philosophy, but not a science, but the Science of Truth. 

Sage Sankara’s Advaita as the fairest flower of philosophy that any country in any age has produced. 

The Advaitic truth is rational or scientific Sage Sankara centuries back, but unfortunately, the original essence of the rational Advaita is lost mainly, because of orthodox adulteration.  

To realize the mystery of the universe you need not have a Ph.D. from Harvard or Oxford or any other universities of the world. 

Science is the highest teaching in the world of duality. Spirituality has its roots in the same world but ultimately leads to non-dualistic awareness. 

Science cuts itself from the witness (Soul or Spirit) and remains aloof from the witnessed (universe or matter).= 

The scientist not only stands aside, outside the field of the witness. It is because the scientist is unaware of the witness, which is apart from the witnessed, and he and his invention are part of the witnessed. 

Science cannot cross the threshold of physical existence (universe or waking). Thus, its invention is limited to the domain of form, time, and space whereas Self-knowledge is the knowledge of the beyond form, time, and space. 

Science is based on objects; its invention is based on an object as the subject. Thus, modern science can get the truth of the objectified subject. Elimination of the object mentally and realizing the subject, then judging the worldview on the base of the pure subject leads to the discovery of the ultimate truth. 

The feelings impressions and notions are based on the physical Self (ego or the waking entity). Scientific inventions are based on the physical Self (ego or you). 

Deeper self-search reveals the fact that the waking entity (ego) is the false self within the false experience (waking). 

Remember:~  

RAMANUJA believed in a plurality of minds or selves and also in Prakriti matter. The latter he 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 Ramanujists fear science and try to avoid it. 

Remember: ~  

Science has begun to admit that the world of the spirit and the world of matter are not two antipodes...  A leading British astronomer, Sir James Jeans, confessed that the scientific conception of the universe in the past was mistaken and that the borderline between the objective world, as it is manifested in nature, and the subjective one, as it expresses itself through the mind, hardly exists. 

In (a 1934 address at Cornell University), he said: “The Nature we study does not consist so much of something we perceive as of our perceptions, it is not the object ... but the relation itself.  There is, in fact, no clear-cut division between the subject and object.”  Twenty years earlier, such a statement would have been sheer heresy.  Likewise, a search for the Ultimate Reality that we usually call "God," a search along both intellectual and unorthodox lines, need not be regarded as either heresy or sacrilege. 

Remember:~  

The knowledge of both Matter and Spirit is True knowledge. The true knowledge is the Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara.  

Consciousness is the cause of the universe and it, itself is uncaused.  The universe is nothing but consciousness.  

Modern science has yet to discover that consciousness is the cause of the universe, which was discovered and declared by Sage Sankara 1200 years ago.  

Atman or consciousness you can never see. So do not inquire Ataman. Inquire into the world around you, which you can see. Science tells you it is passing away every second. 

Everything is dying repeatedly. Where is it going? Thus you follow up your inquiry into what you can lay hands on. How can you inquire into Atman which you cannot see? So first we deal with the known and seen, this inquiry leads up to the unknown in the end. 

Advaita encompasses everything. Since Advaita requires heavy-duty intellectualism, it had to be progressively simplified.

Sage Sankara says: ~ “Atman is Brahman. The Atman alone is real is not religious truth. 

Sage Sankara declared, many centuries back the Advaitic truth, is the ultimate truth to the whole world. Advaitic truth is the rational truth, scientific truth, and ultimate truth.

India is the fountainhead of Advaitic wisdom. Advaitic wisdom unfolds the mystery of the universe, which contains the whole of humanity.

Spirituality is nothing but Self-knowledge or Brahm Gnana or Atma Gnana. Self-knowledge or Brahm Gnana or Atma Gnana is nothing but the science of the Spirit.

Advaita is Vedic science. Advaita is scientific spirituality. Advaita has nothing to do with religion and its beliefs and dogmas.

Advaita is the truth hidden by the matter.

Advaita is the Spirit.

Advaita is the nature of true existence hidden by the matter.

Advaita is existence itself

Advaita is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

Sage Sankara proved the existence of God, the Spirit (Atman) through Advaitic wisdom

The difference between science and spirituality is that modern science deals with the matter and spirituality is based on the Spirit, the cause of the matter.

Modern science deals with the objects whereas spirituality deals with the subject.

Scientists are trying to understand the truth of the objective world in which we exist objectively whereas spirituality unfolds the truth of the objective world in which we exist subjectively.

The scientists hold the object as the object and investigate whereas the spirituality holds the subject as the subject and declares the object is nothing but an illusion created out of the subject and subject and object are one in essence.

Modern science exposed the truth of the objective world objectively part by part whereas spirituality exposed the cause hidden by the whole objective world in which we exist.

The approaches of both are scientific but the objects of their investigation are different. 

Modern science deals with the objective world, which belongs to the matter whereas spirituality deals with the Spirit, which is the cause of the matter.

Modern science deals within the framework of form, time, and space whereas as spirituality is based on the formless, timeless, and spaceless existence, which is hidden by the form, time and space and which is the cause of the form, time, and space and which itself is uncaused.

Since spirituality is been mixed up with religion and mysticism in the past it has become hotchpotch and it is difficult to accept spirituality as scientific.

If you limit the Self to 'you' alone Self-realization is an impossibility, because, the Self pervades the whole universe. 

Erwin Schrödinger, physicist: ~ Consciousness is never experienced in the plural, only in the singular. Not only has none of us ever experienced more than one consciousness, but there is also no trace of circumstantial evidence of this ever happening anywhere in the world. If I say that there cannot be more than one consciousness in the same mind, this seems a blunt tautology — we are quite unable to imagine the contrary... 

The ‘WHO AM ‘I’?’ inquiry is good at the starting point of the pursuit of truth but in later stages it created lots of confusion. 

When the Self is genderless then it is not He/She. Therefore, using the word ‘I AM’ for the Self is erroneous. 

Deeper self-search reveals that the Self is not the ‘I’, therefore ‘WHO AM I? will not help to unfold the truth beyond form, time, and space.  

Remember:~ 

Spirituality has to be bifurcated from religion and mysticism to get the scientific essence of spirituality. The Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara is scientific spirituality.

Sage Sankara alone is a Sage scientist humanity has to bow with gratitude to the great Sage.

Sage Sankara was criticized for his views on Maya (illusion) without understanding him.

Sage  Sankara said: ~

(1) Brahman (Atman) is real

(2) The universe is unreal, 

 (3) Brahman is the universe.

He did not stop at the second because the third explains the other two. It signifies that the universe is real if perceived as the ‘Self’ and unreal if perceived as apart from the Self. Hence, Maya or illusion and reality are one and the same.

The realists criticize the concept of illusion without understanding it. 

Sage   Sankara said:~

(1) Consciousness (Atman) is real

(2) The universe or mind is unreal

(3) Consciousness is the universe because the universe is an illusion created out of consciousness.

One need not stop at the second because the third explains the other two. It signifies that the universe is real if perceived as the Self (Atman or consciousness) and unreal if perceived as apart from the Self (consciousness). Hence, illusion and reality are one and the same because both are one in essence. Realizing the essence, which is consciousness as the innermost Self, is Self-Realization or Truth-Realization of God-realization. 

Thus, Sage  Sankara‘s declaration is the rational truth, scientific truth and also ultimate truth.:~Santthosh Kumaar
