The Scientist and the Vedantin

Here are eight contrasts between the Science of the
Scientist and the Vedanta of the Vedantin:

1.While the Scientist attempts to establish that out of randomness
all this order of the universe has arisen, the Vedantin recognizes a
purpose in everything.
2.Science is an intellectual response of the finite to the
infinite. Vedanta brings a complementary response.
3.Science informs but Vedanta transforms.
4.Science has made major contributions to just the minor needs of
Man. Vedanta makes only minor demands for his major needs.
5. Vedanta attempts to reveal the `that' and `why' while Science
pursues the `what' and `how'.
6.Science constantly pursues a reconciliation between infinitesimal
smallness and infinite immensity. Vedanta declares an identity
between the two.
7.The reductionist approach of Science chases only a receding
horizon. The holisitic explanation of Vedanta brings a macro-
perception.
8.Vedanta starts fom the axiom of an ever-present immutable reality,
which is both transcendent and immanent. Science can pursue only
what is sensed by the senses.
