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.
The important thing is how much less you think of the body, of yourself as matter -- as dead, dull, insentient matter; how much more you think of yourself as shining immortal being. The more you think of yourself as spirit, the more eager you will be to be absolutely free from matter, body and senses. This is the intense desire to be free.
