“I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter

as derivative from consciousness. We cannot get behind

consciousness. Everything that we talk about, everything

that we regard as existing, postulating consciousness.” --!" #$!%& '%obel pri(e in )*)+

 Time immemorial when consciousness began on this

planet it remained a curious mystery to know, “what this

universe is?” From every time a curious stimulus touched

the revealed wonder of this universe. Every soul tried to

realie its own nature and origin! and for that sake this

conscious living entity tried to fathom every aspect of thisuniverse whether it is material or spiritual. "f we look in

di#erent wisdom of ancient development in this path of

self realiation then we get a common thing i.e., $to know

one%s own self%.

&induism is said to be the oldest wisdom of self

realiation and it preaches every human being should

know himself in order to know this universe. 'ame thing

we get in other religion and wisdom also.

"slam says, “(ne who knows himself, he knows me

)almighty*.”) &adith e +udsi*

ut this philosophy contradicts with the concept of reality

.-hysicist understand this universe with its material

nature. For them reality is something which can be seenby eyes, which can be detected by devices, which can be

measured or inspected through senses or in one word

which can be $understood%. This understanding of reality

remained prevailed for thousand years. ut now this

concept of reality has changed. atest emergence in the

/eld of science tells us that things which we used to

understand earlier have something di#erent in reality. "f

we go through the 0uantum aspect of material then wecome to know that things which we are seeing or

observing through our senses behave di#erently in their

micro level. ouble slit experiment  tells that when we

emit one electron in double slit at a time then it behaves

di#erently as e1pected in its material macro nature.

E1periment shows that single electron is observed at two

positions at the same time. "t seems impossible in macro

material world but same material behaves di#erently in

micro level. This e1periment 0uestions our understanding

of material world and its reality.

Further eisenberg wave front theory  says that there is

nothing called reality in this world. 2hole material energy

in the universe is in the form of wave front and we

observe a thing at a position because there is ma1imumprobability of that thing at that position. This theory was

further checked by cat /chrodinger experiment . 'ir

'chrodinger changed whole perception of reality by

giving this parado1ical e1periment to this world. &e put a

cat in bo1 and attached it with two wires at both ends and

sends a single electron in it. 3ow the 0uestion is whether

the cat would die or would be alive. 3ow one can%t tellwhether the cat is alive or dead? "f we do not observes it

then it would remain a mystery for all but when we

observe it either we get cat dead or alive but after

observation. efore it, it remains a mystery so reality

always depends upon observations which give

acknowledgement to &eisenberg theory of wave front.

Further, 0irtual particle in an atom behave against our

perception of reality. -articles disappear for a nanosecond in the nucleus and then appear at another place.

 This behavior of material particle in micro level totally

changes our perception of so called reality because a

material thing can not be in two di#erent position in a

given space and time. 'cience is still heading towards

this development of reality and its understanding but it

has cleared that reality we understand is illusion and ita4rms our ignorance of understanding it with material

aspects of things. 2hole universe lies in you but every

soul need to dwell in the eternity of spiritual aspect of it.

'o if you want to know this universe then know yourself,

go deep in the spiritual part of everything then only you

will see him in every internal and e1ternal material thing.

 Thus " bind by these words from awakened soul, “5y real

personality is not a thing! it is an act. 5y e1perience is

only a series of acts, mutually referring to one another,

and held together by the unity of a directive purpose. 5y

whole reality lies in my directive attitude. 6ou cannot

perceive me like a thing in space, or a set of e1periences

in temporal order! you must interpret, understand, and

appreciate me in my 7udgements, in my will8attitudes,aims, and aspirations.”
