Law of Love & The Mathematics of Spirituality
Raju Sitaram Chidambaram, Ph.D.
What you get on marrying the eternal wisdom of Vedantic philosophy with
the precision of mathematics is a new powerful way to discuss and understand
human spirituality. This thought provoking book is equally relevant to the
work of scientists, students of spirituality, philosophers, and social scientists
including economists.
Teachers and students of spirituality will no longer have to depend solely on
words for exchanging ideas; they will find in this book ways to communicate
spiritual concepts such as detachment, bondage, suffering, and liberation,
through graphs and equations.
Scientists will find in this book a confirmation of the observation of Schrodinger,
Bohm, and other physicists regarding the similarities of modern science with
eastern philosophies. God, it would appear, has used similar mathematics in
designing both the spiritual and material realms. Thus, a fundamental law of
spirituality, namely the Law of Love expressing the inverse relationship between
universal, unconditional love and suffering, is shown to be a mathematical twin
of the equally fundamental relationship between space and time in Relativity
Physics.
Altruistic love is the means and end of spiritual perfection for an individual. It is
also the antidote to the various stress and strife inflicted on society by political,
commercial and religious conflicts. Social scientists and economists, this book
concludes, will not succeed in their effort to design a just and prosperous
world without promoting spiritual education that alone can engender love and
cooperation.
