Quantum Physics and Vedanta

[Guest guest]

Namaste, All

 

One of my colleagues, Sri R. Krishnan, had written more or less a similar

article, some time ago, which I am reproducing below for the perusal of our

learned members and their views thereon:

QUANTUM BRAHMAN

 

The word Brahman must be familiar to students of Vedanta. Brahman is described

in the Upanishads as the Ultimate Reality and also as the reality of all of us.

Its inherent nature is said to be Satyam, Jnanam, Anantam which translated into

English roughly can be stated as Existence, Knowledge, Bliss or Infinitude. It

is also said to be Consciousness or rather the consciousness principle because

of which we are all conscious. The Upanishads also claim that this Consciousness

is only One or rather Singular and this one underlying principle runs through

all of us; the moving and the non-moving. They further say that the feeling of

individuality is due to wrong notion.

 

Light was initially thought to be a continuous wave but later on it was

explained to also consist of packets of photon called a quanta. Thus light was

said to have a dual property of wave and particles. So could it be said

similarly of Consciousness. The consciousness within our body acts separately

like the quanta of energy and the consciousness outside as a continuous

principle like the waves. All of us feel ourselves to be an individual. If

nature has made it so, then it cannot be wrong. Individuality must be a natural

phenomenon. At the same time there must be a common continuous principle running

behind all the individuality. So could it be that Consciousness also behaves in

a dual manner. Thus “I” as Quantumised Brahman make use of the body mind complex

and perform actions and after death of the body merge with the main Brahman. The

theory of incarnation could be due to the subtle body carrying the impressions

with the mind thus causing the multifarious and

multitude creations.
