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.
Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and everything else shall be added unto you. This is the one great duty, this is renunciation. Live for an ideal, and leave no place in the mind for anything else.
-Swami Vivekananda
