Science and the Myth of Materialism: A Selection of Talks from the Wisdom-Teaching of Adi Da Samraj (Liberating Word of Avatar Adi Da Samraj) ReviewThere have been a lot of books written and things said about science and spirituality, especially in the past decade. This collection of talks by Avatar Adi Da Samraj about the limitations of scientific materialism is a most illuminating discussion of great spiritual matters that relate to how the scientific mind inherently limits spiritual understanding, experience, and realization. But rather than an argument against science itself, Adi Da Samraj argues for a right use of scientific method, but without the inherent limitation of mere materialism.
Among things discussed in these communications:
Is there even an "objective material world" as we apparently perceive "it"?
What is a right understanding the right use of science from a spiritual perspective?
What is reality, itself, as it is, not as proposed by mind, either scientific or religious?If you are a scientist, engineer, or generally feel overly influenced by a scientific perspective, yet intuit something more, something "real", profound, true, and spiritually obvious, then this CD of listening is a profoundly clarifying guide and inspiration as to a right understanding, and altogether a guide to getting deeper, saner, wiser, and more integrated as a human being in response to reality.
Many of these talks can be found in print in this book:
Transmission of DoubtScience and the Myth of Materialism: A Selection of Talks from the Wisdom-Teaching of Adi Da Samraj (Liberating Word of Avatar Adi Da Samraj) OverviewThis selection of talks from throughout the 30 years of Adi Da's teaching brings together samples from his vast divine instruction relative to the psycho-physical nature of the world, the limits of scientific materialism, and the inherent unity of existence, or love-bliss itself.
Adi Da Samraj says: "What is knowledge in our time? It is epitomized by the method and the accumulated culture of scientism. And the method of science epitomizes the tendency toward non-participation. The method of science is, at its best, a right and useful tool for acquiring certain kinds of information or data about conditional events. But as a world-view, or an ideal orientation toward existence, it is nothing other than the attitude and method of egoity. This is because it is based upon the abstraction or separation of the observer from the observed. It expresses a preference for the non-participation (or non-interference) of the observer in the observed and in the results of the observation. . . .
The disposition of scientism has, in our time, become the model or ideal attitude toward what is. Science has come out of the closet, from an esoteric discipline engaged by a few revolutionaries, to a world-view that commands what is acceptable as knowledge for all. I do not object to the factual usefulness of the scientific method as one of the possible tools of Man, but I thoroughly and vehemently object to the culturally enforced notion that it is the single, sufficient, and ideal tool of Man. . . .
Science is not love. Science is not surrender. To do science is to stand apart and inspect and analyze. To know without love and submission is to magnify power and the motive of control. Power and control are secondary needs of Man. Such knowledge is, therefore, only a secondary need of Man. Science is only a secondary tool of Man. What is our primary need and our primary tool? We need love, union, unity. Our primary tool is participation. And participation requires submission of self to what is.
Therefore, participation is love, or the act of loving or self-transcending submission. If we act as love, submission, or in the attitude or by the tool of self-transcendence, then we also come to know and experience. But the knowledge and experience that come by such means do not enhance or magnify the power of self to control what is. Rather, they enhance and magnify our freedom, our Realization of Reality, and our ultimate Happiness. . . .
Adi Da Samraj says: We cannot discover whether or not there is God, or soul, or Transcendental Spiritual Reality by analytical or non-participatory means. The ego cannot discover the Truth. . . . Our greatest need is to discover the Truth. And in order to discover the Truth, we must understand and transcend ourselves. . . . And if the Way of self-transcendence is magnified as the fullness of participatory capability, then what is will be discovered to be Divine, unbound, eternal, Transcendental Happiness."
