This book, comprising of two brilliant lectures, shows the intrinsic harmony between science's spirit of critical inquiry into the external nature, and Vedanta's quest for the Eternal within. The author supports his view by quoting scientists like Einstein, Eddington, Capra and others, and also from the Hindu scriptures. He successfully points out the way towards the attainment of a synthesis of thought in these two apparently divergent streams of human enquiry, so greatly needed by man today.
Jnana teaches that the world should be given up, but not on that account to be abandoned. To be in the world but not of it -- is the true test of the sannyasin.
-Swami Vivekananda
