In not only the physical science, but in the real mental silence, the wisdom dawns. (75)

Swami Satchidananda
About This Quote

The physical sciences are often thought of as dead. They are so because they are so far removed from the real life, the real world that we live in. The real world is not the laboratory. It's not about seeing results or data or numbers or equations or graphs.

Rather, it's about quieting the mind and realizing that there is more to the world than science can ever teach us. The spiritual scientist awakens to this truth.
