Science Analyzes any item having Volume
O Learned and Devoted Servants of God,
The unimaginable God created this Universe, which is different from God since this is imaginable. There are two schools in philosophy regarding the process of creation.
i) One is the real modification (Parinama) and
ii) the other is the apparent modification (Vivarta).
In the first type, the cause is really modified into the effect like the modification of milk into curd. In the second type, the cause is apparently modified into effect like the modification of water into wave. Both these schools quarrel with each other regarding the modification of God into Universe. The first school says that God is really modified into Universe and the second school says that God is apparently modified into Universe. The quarrel exists between these two schools, because the creation of this Universe by God is neither real nor apparent. The truth is beyond these two schools and hence, quarrel always continues between two false arguments. If the argument is true, all the other arguments will surely vanish. The false argument can never exist before the true argument for a long time. The reason, to say that these two schools are not applicable to God and Universe, is that these two schools speak about the concepts existing between the imaginable cause and imaginable effect. The milk and curd and water and wave are imaginable items. In our topic, God is unimaginable and Universe is imaginable. There is no unimaginable item in the Universe in view of the developed powerful scientific analysis. The only unimaginable item is God and therefore, science fails in the analysis of God.
We accept science as the top most instrument of analysis as far as the entire creation is concerned. Science succeeds everywhere, but, fails only in one place i.e., the unimaginable God. Science analyzes any item, which has volume i.e., the item having spatial dimensions, which are length, width and height. God is the creator of space and hence, is beyond space. Therefore, God is beyond all the imaginations of even the most powerful intelligence. Therefore, science fails in the case of God. Science is far better than our ancient logic. The reason is that our ancient logic was purely based on imaginations and logical analysis without experimental proof. Due to this defect, sometimes, the conclusions may go wrong. For example, the ancient Indian logic says that the quality of space is volume as well as sound. Volume is correct but sound is wrong. Sound cannot propagate without the medium. This wonderful success of science makes scientists egoistic, who think that there is nothing beyond scientific analysis. Some of such egoistic scientists became atheists, who say that God does not exist because He is not analyzed by science. Therefore, all scientists are not atheists. Scientists are egoistic and atheists are over egoistic. Science keeps silent about God because it cannot deal with the unimaginable item. Atheism says that God does not exist since there is no unimaginable item that cannot be dealt by science. Therefore, science need not be criticized at all, which keeps silent about God.
Both Real and Apparent Modification Requires another Substance
The real modification is between milk and curd. Milk itself is not a single substance. It constitutes several chemicals. Another chemical like butter milk is needed for the modification of milk into curd.
Even in the case of apparent modification, the water is associated with a different item called kinetic energy, which makes the water to become the wave.
Therefore, in both these schools, the existence of a different item is required for the process of modification of one item into other item. In the case of God, there was no second item before the creation of this Universe. Without the presence of a different item, God cannot modify into Universe through any school. Therefore, both these schools are not applicable to God since God is unimaginable item and every school deals with imaginable items only. There is no example in this Universe, where the unimaginable item is modified into imaginable item except the case of unimaginable God. Hence, the logic that deals with imaginable items only, is not applicable to the unimaginable God. Not only unimaginable God, even the process of creation by the unimaginable God is beyond such application of logic. Therefore, the unimaginable God and all the actions of the unimaginable God are totally unimaginable. Therefore, not only God, but also, the process of creation of this Universe by God is unimaginable.
Similarly, God thought to create this Universe. The thinking process of God does not make God to be awareness. The thinking process of God is also unimaginable since all the actions of God are unimaginable. If any imaginable item thinks, you can conclude that such imaginable item is awareness since the logic dealing with imaginable items establishes that any imaginable item that thinks must be awareness. Hence, the Bramhasutra (Eekshaternaashabdam) that was interpreted in one way must be interpreted in the different way. The existing interpretation is that God is awareness due to the process of thinking, who cannot be the inert nature. The different interpretation for this sutra should be like this: Eekshateh = Because of the process of thinking, Na = God need not be awareness, Ashabdam = since God is unimaginable, who cannot be indicated by any word because every word indicates some imaginable item only.
