Scientists need to prove whether the universe can exist without consciousness. When all their invention fails to yield the truth they have to use their reason to reach the ultimate core of their existence.

MAX PLANCK -Father of quantum physics says:~ Science has no answer to it. Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of nature.

And that is because, in the last analysis, we ourselves are part of the mystery that we are trying to solve.

Sages Sankara says:~Consciousness is ever-present. Without consciousness, the world, in which you exist ceases to exist.

Consciousness is Self-evident. It is not established by extraneous proofs. It is not possible to deny consciousness, because it is the very essence of the one who denies it. The consciousness is the basis of all kinds of knowledge, presuppositions, and proofs. Consciousness is everything. Thus, consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman.

Whatever, the Scientists are able to monitor the pattern of brain activity through modern scientific equipment are based on the physical Self. The physical Self and physical activities are limited to physical existence. The physical existence is nothing to do with the ultimate truth. The universe is the physical existence.

The scientists and their inventions are based on believing the physical Self and its experience world as a reality, whereas, the truth lies beyond physical existence.

Scientists discover, with what the physical body, is able to function itself as a person, and perceives the world, the truth will not be unfolded. Therefore there is a need to know what the physical body is able to know itself because the physical body is not the knower of the physical body. Therefore, there is a need to be aware of the formless knower of the physical body to unfold the mystery of the mind.

Until and unless scientists become aware of the fact that, the Self is not physical their experiments will not yield any fruit. The experiment on the physical body and trying to find the truth is like trying to drain the ocean drop by drop.

Until scientists realize the fact that, the gross world is merged into the mental experience in the sense that when it is analyzed, it is found to exist inseparably in and as the mind alone. All "spiritual" planes are really mental: those who regard them as different or higher are taking the physical body and the world as reality.

Scientists take birth, life, and death as a reality, their scientific inventions are based on physical awareness, and they will not be able to go deeper into this subject, because they cannot cross the threshold of physicality.

Modern equipment can investigate objects within the physical existence but it is impossible to investigate the physical existence as a whole i.e. man and the world together. The whole cannot be investigated with laboratory conditions. Only through deeper thinking through inquiry, analysis, and reasoning, the whole has to be investigated.

One has to reach beyond the physical existence, mentally, and discovers, grasps the fact that, the physical existence is merely an illusion created out of single stuff; otherwise he will remain the conviction believing the duality is a reality.

The consciousness is the cause of the universe and it itself is uncaused. The universe is nothing but consciousness. Modern science has yet to discover the consciousness is the cause of the universe, which was discovered and declared by Sage Sri, Sankara 1200 years back. :~Santthosh Kumaar
