INTRODUCTION

I am not in a position to say, in certain terms, ‘Yes, God does exist.’” Taking the help of terminology used in Quantum Physics, one could say that Einstein’s position is synonymous with the acknowledgement of God because following the discovery of subatomic particles and probability waves, in Quantum Physics, probability has acquired the status close to certainty, and now it is accepted that while probability is less than certainty, it is more than ‘perhaps.’ The search for Reality is a natural quest. Every person who comes into this world has an innate desire to know what and who he is, how and why he came into existence, what his significance in this world is, how this world came into being, and what will happen to him after he dies. Such questions underpin man’s quest for understanding Reality. This quest has always been a common search for all humans who have taken birth on Earth. However, perhaps not everyone is bereft of the urge to find the answers to these existential questions. Some people have given this quest the status of a spiritual search, while others have thought of it as a mystical journey. Some have tried discovering what they were looking for through meditation, while others have taken to other spiritual practices for the same purpose. As far as I understand, this search acquired a new form with the Italian scientist Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) when he observed space through a telescope in 1609. The invention of the telescope (and later the microscope) that observes quantitative matter has added a new era to this search. After a deep study over hundreds of years, the INTRODUCTION
