Einstein v Bohr
Its not that they were that far apart in real terms.
“Religion without science is blind and science without religion is lame.”
Says Einstein .
The key to understanding Einstein’s statement is to consider dualism, Einstein was not an ardent follower of scientific materialism per se .
Bohr accepted both classical and quantum physics.
As does the Vedas , the word for atom is within the Vedas..
But the vedas speaks of the ethereal subtle energies, akin to the mind and intelligence that are the causes of atoms , along with the electromagnetic energies that are devolved from the Bramajyoti , a high grade light originated from the spiritual realms . The multidimensional material and spiritual planes are discussed in the Srimad Bhagavatam.
The world we live in is real, of course, but temporary. The followers of Sankaracarya consider this world unreal , and in one sense, that’s true but in another not .
The consciousness and the universe are linked together by the interests and desires of the individual consciousness under the supervision of Divinity and His unlimited consciousness, and limited consciousness is eternally linked to the unlimited consciousness.
When the conscious being understands that he or she is something different than a material body and also different from the universal energies, being freed from scientific materialism and clearly understanding dualism , then the real consciousness journey begins . One should question why the living beings have become subjected to the laws of the universe . By such enquiries, the universal order reciprocates in helping gradually acquire knowledge and detachment from all universal connections, and that is the beginning of liberation . Gradually, by understanding dualism and by searching the inner meaning to life, one is connected to devotional activities . The cause of all causes is understood by purified and detached persons. One can eventually enter a plane where consciousness and the energy surrounding it are of the same nature .
Once Edward Teller had tea with Neils Bohr, and he said to Bohr, ” You have changed everything in the way we view the world, and in the future, everyone will see the world much differently..”
After a long pause, Bohr said, ” Are you saying this world is not real but like a dream?”
