After the Relativity theory of Einstein, science
has come nearer to advaita vedanta and the
ShAkta schools. Time and Space are relative concepts, as far as I have
understood these scientific theories. Brahman is the only absolute. Everything
else is relative, says vedanta. Anything that appears as real, does so because
it is resting on the Brahman-canvas.
This appearance as reality, is the relativity of science and the MAyA of
advaita Vedanta. Science which talks of the relativeness, does not say what is
the absolute. The only absolute is Brahman , according to our religious
scriptures as well as philosophical schools.
Though western knowledge makes a
distinction between religion and philosophy, SanAtana dharma does not make any
distinction between the two. In it the two are inseparable like Shiva and Shakti ! And that Absolute has been
experienced as Atman by our great sages. That is the soul of all souls.
