Remember:~
Science declares that oxygen combines with hydrogen to give water. And it also declares oxygen is protons or electrons.
Advaitic Sages consider the whole physical existence (universe or mind) as an illusion and science and their inventions, which are based on the physical existence is limited to physical existence, which is an illusion. The truth is hidden within the physical existence or illusion.
Until the scientist realizes the whole universe is created out of single stuff and that single stuff is the Soul or consciousness. Thus, consciousness is the ultimate truth.
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. A Deeper Self -search is required if one wants to push its quest deeply enough.
A deeper self –search reveals the fact that the matter and the Spirit are one in essence. Thus, the matter is Spirit. When the matter is created out of the Spirit then the matter has no value because there is no second thing that exists, other than the Spirit.
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. Therefore, science cannot cross the threshold of physical existence (form, time, and space). Thus, its inventions are limited to form, time, and space.
Science is based on objects; its invention is based on an object as a subject. Thus modern science can get the truth of the objectified subject. Elimination of object mentally and realizing the subject then judging the worldview on the base of the pure subject leads to the discovery of ultimate truth.
The feelings and impressions and notions are based on the physical Self (ego or the waking entity). The scientific inventions are based on the physical Self. A deeper self -search reveals the fact that the waking entity (ego) is false Self within the false experience (waking).
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.
The sun, the moon, the stars, planets shine because of the Soul or the Spirit. The Soul shines and all things else shine as a result. Everything in the universe reflects but that light of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Merely knowing the truth is not enough to escape from the tangle of illusion. One must realize the truth with firm conviction.
The 'I' is the mind. The mind is present in the form of the universe.
From the standpoint of the Soul, the Self the universe is merely an illusion. The illusion arises from ignorance. Enlightenment comes with detachment from the illusion by realizing the experience of the form, time and space are one in essence.
The conclusion of any scientist has to be: ~
Everything is Spirit (Soul or the consciousness), which Sage scientist Sage Sankara declared 1200 years back –everything is Atman(Soul) because Atman present is in the form of consciousness or Spirit. Science wholly accepts the material world as it presents itself. Non-dualistic or Advaitic wisdom makes one realize that things are not what they seem.
The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness (Spirit), is the root element of the universe.
From consciousness, the universe comes into existence. In consciousness, the universe resides. And into consciousness, the universe is dissolved. Consciousness is the parent of all that is there is. Consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman. Brahman is GOD.
