ANCIENT YET MODERN

The Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita are two most important source books of Vedanta. It is a remarkable achievement of intellectual imagination—it would not be
incorrect to call it inspiration—that the rule of law in science was anticipated in the ancient Hindu scriptures. The God of Vedanta is not an anthropomorphic creation with human capriciousness and desire for power-a conception against which the veriest tyro in modern science can launch a successful attack.

Divine sovereignty is explained in the Bhagavad Gita in language, which anticipates and meets the difficulties that modern science raises against religious cosmology.

According to the Bhagavad Gita, the sovereignty of God is exercised in and through the unchangeable law of cause and effect, that is, through what we call thelaws of nature. All this world is pervaded by Me in form unmanifest; all beings abide in Me, but I stand apart from them.
