This document discusses the spiritual perspectives of nanotechnology. It argues that nanotechnology, which deals with very small particles around 10-9 cm in size, can be linked to spiritual concepts. Just as nanotechnology requires specialized training to understand subtle particles, spirituality also requires investment of time and training to understand subtle concepts like the soul. The document discusses how science has progressed from understanding gross to more subtle levels of matter, potentially leading to understanding the ultimate truth and consciousness that underlies all creation. It argues that education systems have failed to integrate spirituality, which is the eternal search for truth and beauty, and that nanotechnology may help open new understandings of the universe by bridging matter and consciousness.
We are reaching a critical state of time cycle-2012. Only thing that can save us is Truth or knowledge of Nature, understood in simple manner. There is a necessity awaken humanity to Truth. Some one with media skills should read this and cause a revolution as Wael Ghonim, to liberate humanity and take the world to new level of thinking.

Earth and human survival on it is endangered. Drastic climatic changes, restlessness of various ecological systems speaks this. The knowledge we have acquired seems very much wanting to survive the disastrous end to which we are moving. We need to know Truth of Nature and its working in a simple manner and act quickly to survive on earth.

QUANTUM CREATIVITY
Think Quantum, be Creative!
Our societies are going through crisis. The signs are everywhere—economic meltdowns, environmental pollution and global climate change, worldview polarization of politics and frozen democracies, terrorism, loss of meaning and value in education in favor of information processing, healthcare systems whose cost cannot be contained, etc. Not coincidentally, there is an acute need for a paradigm shift in our science that is ridden with paradoxes and anomalous data. Such a paradigm shift has begun under the aegis of quantum physics and with it a change is taking place in our worldview from religious dualism and scientific materialism (the primacy of matter) to an integrative worldview based on the primacy of consciousness.
For crisis resolution and paradigm shifts, we need creativity. What is interesting is that in the time of crisis and paradigm shifts, opportunities arise galore for the fulfillment of our creative potential. The quantum approach is telling us that everyone today can be creative. The purpose of this lecture is to tell you how and to properly motivate you from information processing to creativity.
What is the vehicle that a creative rides? The answer is, the quantum, the quantum, the quantum. Creativity requires quantum thinking—the capacity to engage with a problem both in the conscious and in the unconscious. We will explain quantum unconscious processing; we will delve into quantum leaps that creativity researchers identify as the aha! insight. We will learn the secrets of creative living--do-be-do-be-do and the flow experience.
We will explore creativity in the outer arena—the arts the sciences, and businesses. We will also investigate inner creativity--how to creatively transform our emotions from negative to positive and acquire emotional intelligence. Finally, I will explicate the creative journey of spiritual enlightenment.

We think this concept is ideal because we can make use of mathematical elements to draw theories of control, and diagnosis, and therefore also therapeutic theories. We will make use of the new model of psyche proposed by us to expand on a few items. Perhaps the best use of this paper is empowering the professionals of Psychiatry, and Psychology by providing new tools for their studies, and work. The main focus is the human psyche. In order to explain the World of God, Inner Reality, and Outer Reality, which are divisions that are obtained from applying the concept of parallel worlds to the studies on the human psyche, we end up paying a light, and perhaps, an enlightening, visit to the concepts of schizophrenia, autism, Down Syndrome, and psychopathy.
Matter, mind and higher dimensions – Bernard CarrLex Pit
Prof Bernard Carr
Professor of Mathematics and Astronomy
School of Physics and Astronomy
Queen Mary, University of London
Astronomer and mathematician Bernard Carr theorizes that many of the phenomena we experience but cannot explain within the physical laws of this dimension actually occur in other dimensions.
Albert Einstein stated that there are at least four dimensions. The fourth dimension is time, or spacetime, since Einstein said space and time cannot be separated. In modern physics, theories about the existence of up to 11 dimensions and the possibility of more have gained traction.
Carr, a professor of mathematics and astronomy at Queen Mary University of London, says our consciousness interacts with another dimension. Furthermore, the multi-dimensional universe he envisions has a hierarchical structure. We are at the lowest-level dimension.
“The model resolves well-known philosophical problems concerning the relationship between matter and mind, elucidates the nature of time, and provides an ontological framework for the interpretation of phenomena such as apparitions, OBEs [out-of-body experiences], NDEs [near-death-experiences], and dreams,” he wrote in a conference abstract.
Carr reasons that our physical sensors only show us a 3-dimensional universe, though there are actually at least four dimensions. What exists in the higher dimensions are entities we cannot touch with our physical sensors. He said that such entities must still have a type of space to exist in.
“The only non-physical entities in the universe of which we have any experience are mental ones, and … the existence of paranormal phenomena suggests that mental entities have to exist in some sort of space,” Carr wrote.
The other-dimensional space we enter in dreams overlaps with the space where memory exists. Carr says telepathy signals a communal mental space and clairvoyance also contains a physical space. “Non-physical percepts have attributes of externality,” he wrote in his book “Matter, Mind, and Higher Dimensions.”
He builds on previous theories, including the Kaluza–Klein theory, which unifies the fundamental forces of gravitation and electromagnetism. The Kaluza–Klein theory also envisions a 5-dimensional space.
In “M-theory,” there are 11 dimensions. In superstring theory, there are 10. Carr understands this as a 4-dimensional “external” space—meaning these are the four dimensions in Einstein’s relativity theory—and a 6- or 7-dimensional “internal” space—meaning these dimensions relate to psychic and other “intangible” phenomena.

Physics and Indian Spiritual Tradition - Giulio Prisco.pdfGiulio Prisco
Transcript of my talk titled "Physics and the Indian Spiritual Tradition" at the Ramakrishna Mission Institute of Culture (RMIC), Kolkata, India, February 2018.
This was a lecture delivered as a guest lecture during the International Seminar on science and Spirituality organised by Bhaktivedanta Institute Indonesia in Bali Denpasar in August 2010.The function was attended by the scholars of different religions, students of universities in Bali .
This is one of the topics for the All India Students' conference on Science and Spiritual Quest to be held in February 2014.
I was supposed to submit the paper for this which i prepared but got delayed and so its not accepted . i have submitted two papers. One is this which is rejected due to delay. So here I am publishing it .
Here is the link to the theme.
http://www.aissq.org/themes.html
Now the topic I have to submit the paper on was Life - Its origin and purpose. The paper manuscript has to be within 4 pages. The abstract within 200 words. So here is the paper I wanted to submit but rejected due to delay .
There is hope for the endangered world from global climate catastrophes, earth quakes and volcanoes if humanity awakens to the truth of nature and bring about a paradigm shift in his thinking about nature and its functioning
Spiritual truths are being affirmed with rapid advancement in Scientific knowledge. Sharing my reading and thoughts, that goes to establish that at long last Science has mellowed over the years, the animosity is no longer there, and Spirituality and Science are slowly but surely converging in the quest of TRUTH.
The month of Ramadan is also known as the month of reflection and retrospection, and I have spent a few hours in this month to put up a presentation.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Spiritual perspectives of Nanotechnology
Abstract
The bigger is not always powerful. The subtler forms of the matter and energy that
form the material science are much more powerful than their gross particles. The hidden
forces that exist and operate in these subliminal particles can be recognized and
augmented through spirituality which is also a comprehensive science. Starting from the
law of conservation of energy where conversion of matter and energy are discussed, to
realizing the omnipotent powers of ‘Brahman’ the “Supreme consciousness” and its
manifestations in physical body through material perspective –all can be well established
through linking the material science of Nanotechnology with Spiritual perspective of it.
The Brahman has existed before the origin and end of every form of creation and it is
“Anaadyantha” – that which has ‘no beginning and end’. In between comes
Nanotechnology with its limitless powers through subliminal and minute particles storing
abundant energies in them. Nanotechnology as a material science talks about very small
particles of 10-9 cm size and the rare properties that they can display when small, can be
compared to the very life ie the soul which helps in inducing the correct consciousness
to identify oneself with the Ultimate.
This universe has a perfect “Rthm” and because of this perfect order in arrangement
and structure of these micro particles that there is less confusion. Once there is a disorder
or lack of “Rthm”, the entire cosmos goes for a wreck. In all these changing times what
remains constant is the knowledge of the Athman –The Brahman.

Chapter 7-The BhagavadGita
“I shall teach you knowledge (Jnana) together with realization (Vignana) in their
entirety, knowing which, thereafter nothing remains to be known”
The gross components of the physical body are visible and tangible as they are made
up of the basic elements of the earth (Material Science). The union between this gross
physical manifestation ie “Prakriti” and that of the Subtle Truth ie “Purusha” can be very
well equated to the knowledge in its entirety(Savignanam) . A complete identification
between the two types of knowledge can reveal to the world the supreme bliss that is
available with every single creation.
Unraveling the mysteries that shroud the blending of the physical manifestations of
Nature ie “Prakriti” with that of Absolute Consciousness ie “Purusha” can be the science
of the 21st
century-probably the real knowledge in its entirety.

At the outset, I accept my limitations about what I am going to speak, after hearing
the people, during the last few sessions; I do not think that I am even a speck of dust in
front of them in comparison!
A couple of days back, during some discussions, some of my colleagues were asking
me about my proficiency in Indian philosophy and understanding of Nanotechnology. For
the first part I said I know a little bit, and for the second part I said I know very little. I
also remembered a statement made by my professor who taught me few things in Indian
philosophy “The moment you say you know Brahman, It no more exists”. Perhaps a
3. 3
similar statement is made by one of the great scientists in Quantum Mechanics “You can
calculate and use Quantum Mechanics, but you cannot understand it”
Yet I took courage to venture into these deliberations based on one aspect of my
career. As a principal of a school that caters to more than 4200 students, I am concerned
not only with the day today working and academic attainment of students but also about
the attitudes, the personal growth and the vision of each individual.
In this world there have always been two extremes. On one hand the material
progress and explosion of knowledge that is taking place all around and on the other hand,
pursuit for the ineffable and unique spark that resides in every one of us. How do I, as a
principal correlate these two extremes and make them a part of the school ethos?
At one end of the pendulum is spirituality and at the other end is gross matter. At the
subtlest form of this matter are discoveries that are taking place at nano levels. The other
extreme is the “Angushta matra purusha “(Thumb like entity) residing in each one of us.
The power of the subtle
Nanotechnology is the manufacturing technology of the 21st
century encompassing
precision engineering as well as mainstream biomedical applications in areas as diverse
as gene therapy, drug delivery and novel drug discovery techniques. It basically is a tool
that is used for the betterment of human kind. The most common concepts in Nano
technology are positional assembly of atoms and self replication.
Matter is made up of millions of minute atoms. At the existential level this subtle
form of matter has great potency stored within. All activities of the universe are regulated
by the behavior and inter particle relationships of these small particles. The chemical and
physical features are due to the structure. These particles can not be seen by naked eye,
but they do exist.
4. 4
Sand contains silicon as its main atom. A specific arrangement of silicon with some
other particles produces the micro chip, the most powerful tool in the hands of man today.
What is the size of this add on impurities? Beyond the computing sense of human sense
and mind? Yet we accept them!
RBC‘s size is about twelve millionth of an inch. A tiny particle of blood sample
consists of 0.3million of such particles. Can one, then think about the % of the iron
content an RBC, which is a major actor in Mammalian blood, has with it?
The zygote is a millionth of a cubic millimeter in size. This smallest particle of life
manifests physically in human form. Human brain which is a vehicle of human mind is a
tiny part of this zygote
If we can agree to acknowledge the existence of such minute invisible particles and
can talk about harnessing the energies stored in , what is the problem in accepting the
construct of the subtle energy ie the “Angushta matra purusha” in each one of us which
can only be felt and not seen?
If “Seeing is believing” has been the only criterion, then these micro chips,
haemoglobin, zygote and thousand other wonders of Science would have to be treated as
“magic, or Maya or miracle’! But human mind has gone beyond the criteria of ‘seeing is
believing’ and mastered the capacity of dealing with subtle matter., Just as
Nanotechnology needs highly specialized training and investment in terms of time and
money to become capable of dealing with matter at this micro level, so also to know and
deal with the Angushta matra Purusha” , the Spark , we need investment of time , training
in different dimensions!
At the root of every creation, there is atom. A small loss of mass results in an atom
bomb and a minute fusion between the smallest hydrogen atoms produces the powerful
5. 5
hydrogen bomb. Fission and Fusion, thus creates and destroys energy. The scientific law
says, that energy cannot be created or destroyed, and that it can be only transformed.
Then, where does this energy come from?
Nature has answers for every query. Ideas of nano particles are, hence bound to come
from Nature i.e. biology, chemistry and quantum physics. To quote Neil’s Bohr,”The
opposite of an idea is another great idea”.
Science, Technology, Spirituality and Religion
There are 4 words that I would like to focus upon:
Science and technology
Spirituality and religion
Science and technology
Science and technology have a very strange relation with each other. ‘One is totally
an aesthetic experience’ to quote Einstein and the other is totally ‘pragmatic’. This means
that one is leading to a pure experience of joy and is an outcome of thirst for truth and
beauty. Both Truth and Beauty are direct attributes of the ‘Divine’- the “Sat Chit
Ananda”
The other i.e. Technology tries to encash and convert the thirst into practical benefit,
bringing extreme material comforts and well being in day today life. Nanotechnology is
exactly trying to do that. If Science is the mother , technology is the child!
But we must remember that in the economy of the universe, there is nothing that
comes free of cost. Technology promises Atlantis & Utopia but sometimes it also creates
hydrogen bomb and atom bombs.
6. 6
From another point of view, if we look at the trends in science, especially in the last
century, one can see that it has been from gross to subtle!. If I use, perhaps at the risk of
misquoting David Bohm, the great quantum physicist, who is highly influenced by J
Krishna murthi, ‘the whole process of this is like the gradual pealing of layer and layer of
an onion’which at the present has led to the nano level’. I really do not know where the
further pealing will lead to?
Perhaps to that entity which is described as “Yatra vacho nivarthanthe aprapiyo
manasasaha”?
As an aside once when the holy Mother of the sri Aurobindo ashram was asked “Who
would first realize the divine?” the Mother answered “The scientist”. When asked,” Who
would realize the divine last?” she replied “The politician”!
Is the Nanotechnology consciously or unconsciously leading us to that ultimate truth
of universe which existed before Time and the Big Bang? Any search thus leads to
ultimate truth and beauty. How do we avoid the disastrous end of Atlantics?
This leads to the other two words namely spirituality and religion
Spirituality and Religion
Surprisingly, I do feel, right or wrong, spirituality has the same relationship with
religion as science has with technology. For both science and spirituality, the driving
force is the thirst for the truth and beauty and both of them talk about the inherent
universal law of (Rhtm)
.
“Ishavasyamidam Sarvam Yatkincha Jagatyam Jagat
Thena Thyakthena Bunjeetha Ma Kasya Swiddhanam”
7. 7
“Everything animate or inanimate that is within the Universe is controlled and owned by
the Lord. One should therefore accept only those things necessary for himself, which are
set aside as his quota, and one should not accept other things, knowing well to whom they
belong.” (Isopanishad)
Swami Prabhu pada , when he describes this verse from Isopanishad , talks about
spiritual Communism. The sole proprietorship of this Universe is that of The Lord.
Human activities, today indulge only in sense gratification, in other words material
comforts. Swami Prabhupada calls it as a path of “Avidya” or advancement of material
knowledge. He goes on to say that the culture of “Vidya” or transcendental knowledge, as
essential for human beings.
The Vishnupurana talks of two energies “Para”( superior ) and “Apara”( inferior).
We human beings are placed in this material and inferior energy phase and only inferior
creation or material creation is possible. Yet the human beings can aspire for the
acquisition of the superior form of energy by raising his realm of activity through the
transcendental knowledge. According to the Vishnupurana, there is believed to be a
spiritual atmosphere beyond the cosmos where the superior knowledge of Brahman is
available.
Mandukya Upanishad almost confirms this view. It says “Brahman is all and Atman
is Brahman”.
Science and spirituality is in a way searching to reach this Spirit and experience the
supreme bliss!
Spirituality is inherently subjective and purely experiential in nature. Therefore it
cannot be objectively proved through the processes and instruments that are available in
Science.
One cannot use a butcher’s knife for performing a delicate surgery. You need a
different tool to experience spirituality and realize Athman ! A well groomed Mind,
probably!
8. 8
Technology and religion are perhaps utilitarian and cash counters that are used by
mankind either for their immediate comforts or incase of religion for solace and
comfortable afterlife. Let us see some quotes,
.
Renee Weber in “Search for unity” deliberates like this.” The major difference
between Science and Spirituality is that the first turns to the world outside and the latter
turns within. Science wants to master gross matter and spirituality, the Subtle! Science is
quantitative and spirituality is qualitative”
Max Planck says” Science can not solve the ultimate mystery of Nature. And that is
because we ourselves are part of Nature and therefore part of the mystery that we are
trying to resolve”. (As quoted by Renee Weber)
Ilya Prigogine, in a dialogue with Weber says “To do science, is to be open to the
world around us, including the human world”
The fundamental element of this cosmos is the space. Space is the all embracing
principle of higher unity as per Renee Weber
Unfortunately we make no distinction between the two on one hand Science and
Technology and on the other Spirituality and Science. We think all technology is science
and all religious stuff is spiritualistic. It must be noted that I am particularly referring to
those forms of religion which are dogmatic, ritualistic and fear oriented. This has led to
all the confusion. As a result of that, the search for the truth and the beautiful and the
everlastings gets converted into “How useful it is to me and my world” and the
enchantment and the vision of both science and spirituality get ‘merged’ into technology
and religion.
9. 9
How do we come out of this confusion?
Balancing the extremes
If we look at the story of human civilization, we know that spirituality had its origin
on the day on which the Homo sapiens started looking at the starry sky and wondering
what lay beyond it? Shall we say the story of spirituality is as old as the story of human
civilization?
On the other hand what we call as modern science is of very recent origin. Western
science started when Aristotelian approach was left behind and Galileo started talking
about motion and gravity. Was James Watt’s steam engine the starting point of
technology in its modern version? Compared to that how recent is Nano technology?
Then what can one say about Nano technology? It is yet a child! Walking on all its
four, crawling, going in every direction and again going back to its mother science.
Yet this child is like BalKrishna who was able to kill “Poothana” and hold the
“Govardhan” on his small finger!
And I am very certain and as nanotechnology grows in strength and stature and starts
covering multidimensional world outer as well as inner, it will really prove its worth!
I feel it has already crossed the border, shall we say artificial border, that has been
created between matter and mind?
It will have to cross the border, the artificial border that we have created between
matter and mind. Processing at nanotechnology level depends upon imparting a meaning
for the information received and taking action based on that meaning. This involves a
receptive mind. The inner powers or the hidden consciousness of the human mind
originate from that Supreme consciousness, according to the Aitereya Upanishad. Where
10. 10
there is something heard, felt, or known, seen, it becomes finite. It is mortal. Spirit or this
Consciousness is infinite and immortal and hence can not be touched, seen or felt.
As soon as we start talking in terms of information, we have unconsciously crossed
the border of material and as soon as we start we talk in terms of ‘meaning’ we have
already entered the field of “Consciousness”. This is the narrow bridge or “Isthmus” that
connects the island of nanotechnology to the continent of consciousness.
And when we enter the field of consciousness, we have already left far behind not
only matter but also mind. We have already reached ‘chith’. With “Chith” comes the
“Chith shakti” the executive power- perhaps the power that is behind the whirling
galaxies and also the power that created the soft rose petal. When ‘chit’ comes in the
picture it already brings with it the other two factors of the triune of sat chit ananda.
This is spirituality into purest senses.
Education:
I think, one of the major reasons for the perversions that took place in use of
technology and also in religion, fundamentally lie in the ego of either an individual or a
group or of a nation! One of the most important characteristics of the ego is ‘Alpam’
(Trivial). If when one can go beyond the narrow self and start thinking in terms of wider
‘Self’, the ill effects that get generated by the ego starts diminishing.
Nanotechnology is perhaps, the key of ‘Alice in wonderland’, that will open to the
garden of understanding of the universe.
In my introductory remarks, I had mentioned about our concern about the vision of our
youth. How to create an ethos that will prepare our students for this journey?
We have failed miserably in our education systems, on three counts:
In order to create the so called secular education, we have totally neglected the
eternal font of spirituality by creating white-washes of so-called moral science or
11. 11
value education. Spirituality is not simply a code of conduct; it is much much
more than that. It is a search for truth and beauty!
Secondly, in science teaching we have failed to teach in an open-ended inquiry
method, in search of patterns and hidden orders. We have converted science
teaching into closed book learning of all laws and commandments.
Thirdly, we have failed to create a link between schools and colleges with
institutions and organizations at the most enchanting frontiers of science. I have
had a personal experience of fruitfulness of such linkage during the last year,
when one of my students received two Intel awards for a research project in
biochemistry. Unfortunately, such an experience is rare commodity here.
We can make a beginning at least in the last two areas, and there you people and
your organizations can play a major role. Fascination of science as an enchanting activity
could be created if this link could be established between schools, colleges and research
institutes.
At our level, our resources in terms of knowledge are limited and our horizons are
narrow. You can help us in increasing our knowledge base and widen our horizons
through this linkage.
I have a feeling that, the barriers with the outer world and the world within, is also a
barrier that nanotechnology may wish to breakdown and re-interpret in the Upanishad
language eg- “Aham Brahmosmi (I am the universe)”
It may appear that it is an anthropomorphic approach, but as soon as we bring in
terms like creation, information, moon etc in our vocabulary, we are becoming
anthropomorphic.
Conclusion
In conclusion, I would like to quote from the Kaushidaki Upanishad
Upanishad says, “When a man is speaking, he can not be breathing. This is the sacrifice
of breath to speech. When a man is breathing he can not be speaking. This is the sacrifice
of speech to breath. (As quoted by’Juan Mascaro’)
12. 12
“When consciousness rules speech, with speech we can speak all words,
When consciousness rules breath, with in breath, we can smell all perfumes,
When consciousness rules the eyes, with the eyes we can see all forms
When consciousness rules the ear, with ear we can hear all sounds
When consciousness rules the tongue, with the tongue we can savor all tastes
When consciousness rules the mind, with the mind, we can think all thoughts”
In our students or learners, what has to be awakened is this consciousness that rules
the speech, breath, eyes, ears, tongue and mind. This knowledge of Consciousness is
the ultimate knowledge!
When man has faith, he thinks. When he thinks, he knows and when he knows he creates.
The Chandokya Upanishad says, “Where there is joy, there is creation. Where there is
creation, there is progress”.
Let the Science that talks about known, lead us to the Unknown!
Whatever level the teaching takes place, whether at school level, secondary level,
tertiary level or post tertiary level or in labs or research institutes, if joy of creation is
kept as the bottom line, then the original purpose of science i.e. search for truth and
beauty would find a proper blend with spirituality
To end, let us be anthropomorphic in real sense and pray at the same time that in not
too distant future, nanotechnology through some super strings theory of modern physics
is able to transcend our limitation and say, ““Ishavasyamidam Sarvam Yatkincha
Jagatyam Jagat Thena Thyakthena Bunjeetha Ma Kasya Swiddhanam”!
