Is Einstein's E=MC2 is similar to Advaita Philosophy

[Guest guest]

Dear Divine Souls,

 

I humbly request the learned people here to make me understand

whether Einstein's Theory of Relativity is similar to Lord Shankara's

Advaita Philosophy.

 

Because according to Shri Shankar Jagam Mithya. Every vision depends

on Drishti and Drashta. For example if we see a wall at normal eye

sight it is just wall and not quite big. But at the same time if we

see the same wall at micron level wall seems almost all infinite.

Then what is the wall size? Naturally answer comes it depends on the

Drashta who sees it.

 

In this way everything is based on Theory of Relativity. It directly

means it is all our Bhranti what we are feeling that this world is

existing.

 

It takes 9 minutes for sun's rays to reach the earth (If I am wrong

pls correct). That means even if there is a major change or

catastrophe in sun, it will take 9 mts to know for us. Similarly

there are some Nakshatras from where it takes 4 and half years for

light travelling. Suppose if we assume there are Budhijeevis who can

watch earth with powerful scientific instruments then they will see

our 4 and half years past life.

 

My personal opinion is that it is Shankara's Advaita philosophy only

which can answer any kind of scientific challenge about the existence

of Parabrahman which is spread all over universe. Even scientists

are saying the same theory which is told by Adi Shankar centuries

back that "Energy and Material cannot be created and cannot be

destroyed."

 

I am not fit to write anything in this group, but out of my anxiety I

am writing this.

Namaste Vasuji.

 

Your thoughts are exactly the ones that propel scientists to Sankara.

But, let me say something about your equating E=MC2 to Advaita.

 

When Newton propounded the *Lord's* Laws of Gravitation, everyone

thought that was the last word.

 

Then came in Einstein who overhauled our concepts.

 

Although, Einstein has not yet been effectively refuted, we have to

see both him and Newton as only milestones in our exploration of the

universe. It is an unending journey which has only just begun.

Those who know that it is unending would naturally turn back to

themselves.

 

This is where Sankara has triumphed. He knew that the Truth lay very

much in the explorer (drashtA) and not in the explored (drisyA).

 

E=MC2 belongs to the latter and, therefore, is in the danger of being

upturned any time. We can already see the birth-pangs of future

theories that may possibly question Einstein.

 

Advaita covers the former - the one that doesn't change and is the

constant substratum for all that changes. There, therefore, is no

danger of it being upturned. And that is a big difference.

 

In conclusion, therefore, the knowledge E=MC2 is, because VASUJI IS.

 

PraNAms.

My profound Namaskarams to Madathil Nair ji,

 

Thanks for clarifying me on the above theory.

 

"Thowse who know that exploration of universe is unending would

naturally turn back to themselves". I am very much satisfied with

this statement. This difference we can see in Indian history and

other countries' history and epics etc.

 

Personaly I feel nobody can point out Advaita Theory which is the

Ultimate truth.

dear mr vasuji,

 

during his research work on relativity he must have come across

things beyond his reasoning and one might be enlightenment. This can

be because,

"Although Einstein was not associated with any orthodox religion, his

nature was deeply religious. Merely to come into his presence was

always a profoundly Spiritual Experience. Although he felt that

belief in a parallel God was too specific a concept to be applicable

to the being at work in this universe, he never believed that

universe was one of chance or chaos. The universe to him was one of

absolute law and order".

The dictionary meaning of infinite is " absolute, bottomless,

boundless. Fathomless, immeasurable, stupendous, untold, vast and

vide".

I think when we say about god, we assume him to be beyond our

scientific estimations. That is why no definite figure has been or

can be given to infinity in our mathematical calculations. Since it

can't be given a definite number it is given a figure closer to that

of infinity. Like absolute zero as per scientific terms is -273

degree cel.since no one has gone beyond that we accepted it as the

correct and final figure.

 

When it comes to realization of God, he can be realized absolutely

with out any doubt, if we are sincere and our sadhana is pure. We

should consider him as the figure we should realize then we will be

clear of all other terms like infinite etc.

Namaste Vasuji,

 

For a good primer into that try reading 'Advaita Vedanta and Modern

Science' by John Dobson.

respeted advaitins,

it is high time we understood that

our rishies were/are scientists incomaparable.

it is "science after newton" we and

our children have been studying in schools.

" science before newton" is being

buried under "secular" politics, and we must try to

see beyond that.

gravitation was known to aryabhatta

and bhaskara raya centuries before newton. so also

every other aspect of science.

nobody in aryavarta ever said the

earth was flat or that the universe was limited to any

particular constellation.

we can go on in this manner in

every discipline of science.

respectfully yours,

a.v.krshnan.
