Einstein and God
Many have misunderstandings of Albert Einstein and his thoughts on God .
Einstein actually believed in and witnessed an order in the universe . Within the Vedas, there are three aspects of how to contemplate and progressively develop realisations of Divinity and His all expanding existence, which is both personal and can be considered impersonal . The scientific community is very much aware of the perfect math symmetry and the obvious high levels of what can be objectively seen as precision, in all things , including the laws of physics. It’s these aspects that Einstein intelligently thought of a ” God,” like Sir Fred Hoyle said “That someone has monkeyed with the universe “ Einstein intelligently concluded in similar ways , what Sir Fred had stated to be true and also self evident. The vedas say God has no form, and the purpose of that statement means he has no material form. i.e., He has no legs, no hands etc etc .This refers to God not having a material body like ours that is subjected to laws of nature as a result of Karma that is made of atoms , elements, and compounds. Gods spiritual form can only be understood by proper learning and sacrifice, and ultimately, He is known by those who confidentially approach him in love , respect , and who want to please Him and develop a relationship . If not , He remains unknown to all sense and purposes. Do you open yourself to an unfriendly stranger ? Krishna, via his “impersonal but personal, ” energies, has created the laws of nature and has expanded His universal form , the Virat Svarupa , to facilitate a responsive universe to fulfil the desires of independent beings . Within this form, free will and determinism are administered and facilitated , karmic synchronicities are played out .
Divinity and His “sat cit ananda “, means , eternal , blissful form , full of all knowledge . Spiritual form is a trancendental existence, there are no machine like material bodies but bodies of another substance . Spiritual existence plays out eternally in the higher, super subjective, subtle spiritual realms that are full of varigatedness .
His forms are simultaneously everywhere, but nowhere , He is inside and simultaneously outside, He is near but far .
Einstein’s God is this brahman impersonal aspect , manifested from the supreme Brahman who has form , personality, and trancendental pastimes. The highly ordered universal laws are a mere spark of His splendour , like a photon is of the sun . In this way, Einstein’s understanding of God progressed . Einstein had not furthered his knowledge of localised forms of God as the Holy ghost , or paramatma . He had not applied himself or associated with scholars of the Vedas , if he had, they could have clearly explained scientifically the teachings of dualism and consciousness within space time entrapped in matter . The Vedas call the ultimate realisations of God” Bhagavan realisations.” This means realisations of His form and expansions comprised of eternity knowledge and bliss , Krishna is the original Supreme Personality of Godhead, and He is alwsys accompanied by Srimati Radharani , The supreme Goddess of Fortune. From these two millions of spiritual expansions occur .Within the Vaikuthas He is situated in formal settings, but He is the most complete in His beauty within Goloka Vrndavana . It’s here where pure loving informal exchanges take place intimately with lovers , friends, and family . Formality is conspicuous by its absence. Numerous pure intimate devotees in five primary relationships have deep relationships with Divinity or Krishna.
The Srimad Bhagavatam, which is the natural commentary of the Vedanta Sutras, explains all .And Srila AC Bhavtivedanta Swami Prabhupada has brought its full glory to the Western audiences and has explained all .
When Prof Albert Einstein says “religion without science is blind and science without religion is lame,” he knows what he is talking about , consciousness and the ordered as well as fine tuned universal affairs does not spring from random explosions in intergalactic space or a primordial sludge.
