Bhagavad-gītā As It Is

„I go into the Upanishads to ask questions.“ "/ For a parallel to the lesson of atomic theory... [we must turn] to those kinds of epistemological problems with which already thinkers like Buddha have been confronted, when trying to harmonize our position as spectators and actors in the great drama of existence."

"One could say that Atman is more or less the meaning. So then what is indicated is Brahman. I mean the identity of consciousness and the universe. From this it follows that meaning and the indicated are actually one and the same, which is a phrase from the Vedas—Atman is Brahman."

"The Bhagavad Gita... is the most beautiful philosophical song existing in any known tongue." / "The general notions about human understanding... which are illustrated by discoveries in atomic physics are not in the nature of things wholly unfamiliar, wholly unheard of, or new. Even in our own culture they have a history, and in Buddhist and Hindu thought a more considerable and central place. What we shall find is an exemplification, an encouragement, and a refinement of old wisdom." / "The access to the Vedas is the greatest privilege this century may claim over all previous centuries."

"My study of physics led me to a spiritual path. It culminated in my accepting the non-dualism, the absolute monism of Shankara as my philosophy of life and science."
