Pujya Gurudev Pt. ShriRam Sharma Acharya;s Kripa :
Deciphering Consciousness Limitations of Modern
Science & Scope of Vedic Approach
( Akhand Jyoti,
Jan-Feb.2006)
The
sequencing of human genome, gene cloning, synthesis of biomolecules - Molecular
Biotechnology - seems to be heading for creation of "life"! But is it
really possible to generate consciousness in inanimate matter by laboratory
techniques using inanimate matter alone? Whatever be the hype of modern gene
technology, it should not be forgotten that all this has been possible using
the naturally living cells only.
Moreover
the biotechnological developments and promised applications are also confined
only to the peripheries of the material world, having no reach in domains of
consciousness force. The greatest scientific brains, the founders of scientific
revolution had grasped this fact and the limitations of the material-based
approaches of modern sciences in understanding consciousness. Ervin
Schrodinger, the founder of the energy equations in quantum physics talks a
great deal of the "Physical
Aspects of a Living Cell" in his celebrity book " What is Life? ". He argues
that the space-time events in the body of a living being, which correspond to
the activity of its mind, to its self conscious, cannot be explained
deterministically, nor by statistical physics alone.
He
discusses that even at the level of bio-molecular activities the quantum
indeterminacy plays no biologically relevant role. It is simply impossible for
quantum mechanics alone to regulate the activities driven by the mental system.
Because a being is not a pure mechanism or physico-chemical process. In this
context he cites an interesting comparison, that our (modern science's) quantum
physics is like a machine made standard design whereas God's"quantum mechanics" is like a
handmade embroidery , with unlimited variety, creativity and
infinite expressions of beauty.
Thanks GOD, Thanks Sadguru,
