Schrodinger wrote, "Without being aware of it and without being rigorously systematic about it, we exclude the Subject of Cognizance from the domain of nature that we endeavour to understand." This led to a rupture between man and nature. Ilya Prigogine, Nobel Laureate, 1977, wrote that "the dialogue with nature isolated man from nature instead of bringing him closer to it. A triumph of human reason turned into a sad truth. It seemed that science debased everything it touched."20 Man has now realised his grim error, which is splitting the mind in two fragments and then the interface interactions between them. Prigogine wrote, "It is physics that presupposes an observer situated within the observed world. Our dialogue with nature will be successful only if carried on from within nature." When the observer is within the observed world, then the observer and the observed are not two separate entities but are inseparable. This results in ending dualism. If we are to perceive the Reality in its fulness and wholeness, then we have to relinquish the symbolicdualistic mode of knowing the trends the fabric of Reality in the very attempt to grasp it and to imbibe the non-dual mode of knowing which is insight intuition. Mankind has to prepare itself to perceive intuition and live in the light of that intuition.
