Myths regarding energy and consciousness

Following is an excerpt from a samvaad (dialogue) session with Acharya Prashant.

Questioner 1: This material world, even though it works according to the scientific laws which are discovered, is still not in conflict with the fact that it is a thought by nature and not material. Is that so?

Acharya Prashant: Come again, please.

Q1: This material world, it obviously works according to the scientific laws which are discovered

AP: Yes, science is the language of physical nature

Q1: Yes, but that is not in conflict with the fact that there’s no such thing as matter but that it’s all thought.

AP: Then you can say that laws of physics are the laws of thought.

Q1: So are you agreeing with my statement?

AP: Obviously! It’s just a restatement of the established statement. There is nothing new in it.

You are just emphasizing on the mind matter equation, so you may as well call laws of matter as laws of the mind and that is alright.

Q1: And the thought?

AP: That is mind.

Q1: It is my mind?

AP: Not your mind, you are in the mind. You don’t own the mind.
