________________ Jain Religion and Modern Science/272 scientific approach would be, to investigate this power dispassionately and not to deny it stubbornly. The soul has several merits as the matter possesses several properties as discussed earlier through QuantumMechanics. Acharya Mahapragya has said that, "Soul is knower, it is formless, as well as with form. It has life also, and yet it is weightless. It is substance which is conscious as well as conscience. It is knower and also knows the knower.” Some such thoughts were also uttered by Einstein that, "he knew about materialis of matter, but would if given next birth, like to know the knower". We noticed many similarities between Jainism and Modern Science. It is also true that in the evolutionaryscale, man has made giant strides; although it is only through development of mind and intellect. Jainism however stresses that it is our worldly soul's actions, earning merits and demerits , that we make or mar, our future. Through ignorance, blind-faith, violence, noncooperation, indulgences, absolute views, fanaticism, fundamentalism, terrorism, etc we act against our conscience ;which has potentiality to rid ourselves of above vices and find ourselves in conformity with the laws of science and nature - 'Anekānt' i.e. non-absolutism and the principle enunciated by Quantum-Mechanics i.e. Principle of uncertainty, complementarity, entanglement of entire universe etc. lead to non-violence, conservation, coexistence etc.
