Namaste: Here are eight more contrasts between the Science of the

Scientist and the Vedanta of the Vedantin:

 

1.While the Scientist attempts to establish that out of randomness

all this order of the universe has arisen, the Vedantin recognizes a

purpose in everything.

2.Science is an intellectual response of the finite to the

infinite. Vedanta brings a complementary response.

3.Science informs but Vedanta transforms.

4.Science has made major contributions to just the minor needs of

Man. Vedanta makes only minor demands for his major needs.

5. Vedanta attempts to reveal the `that' and `why' while Science

pursues the `what' and `how'.

6.Science constantly pursues a reconciliation between infinitesimal

smallness and infinite immensity. Vedanta declares an identity

between the two.

7.The reductionist approach of Science chases only a receding

horizon. The holisitic explanation of Vedanta brings a macro-

perception.

8.Vedanta starts fom the axiom of an ever-present immutable reality,

which is both transcendent and immanent. Science can pursue only

what is sensed by the senses.

 

PraNAms to all Scientist-Vedantins.

Thank you Profvk:

 

Only cautionary statement I would like to add is to be aware of the

meaning of the phrase "vedaaNti", because thre is always a danger of

getting lost in the academic discussions of "brahman" and making the

famous saying true !!
