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.
There is no help for you outside of yourself; you are the creator of the universe. Like the silkworm you have built a cocoon around yourself.... Burst your own cocoon and come out aw the beautiful butterfly, as the free soul. Then alone you will see Truth.
-Swami Vivekananda
