Dr. E.C.G. Sudarshan, Particle Physicist
University of Texas, Austin

Abstract: Scientific and spiritual disciplines have many common features although there are some differences as well. The present article discusses some of the common features and differences in the two disciplines. The article points out the phobia of the practitioner of one discipline against the other and suggests that the only way to overcome this phobia is to directly experience both, or at least keep company with persons adept in both.
