MIND, MATTER AND GOD : JIVA, JADA AND ISVARA<br />

M.M.NINAN<br />

“The idea of a universal mind or Logos would be, I think, a fairly plausible inference from<br />

the present state of scientific theory.” ["Logos" is defined as "the word of God, or<br />

principle of divine reason and creative order."]<br />

The knighted mathematician, physicist and astronomer Sir James Jeans says (in his<br />

book The Mysterious Universe)…<br />

“There is a wide measure of agreement which, on the physical side of science<br />

approaches almost unanimity, that the stream of knowledge is heading towards a nonmechanical<br />

reality; the universe begins to look more like a great thought than a great<br />

machine. Mind no longer appears as an accidental intruder into the realm of matter.<br />

We are beginning to suspect that we ought rather to hail mind as the creator and<br />

governor of the realm of matter.”<br />
