About the Book
Observation of nature reveals that it has been following a well defined path of evolving consciousness to ever increasing higher levels since eternity. Some of the principles nature employs in this pursuit are the same as enunciated by Jainism. The main aim of Jainism is also to develop consciousness to higher levels and it specifies certain procedures for achieving this goal. These procedures or the path for achieving enlightenment is universal in the sense that it can be adopted by any one seeking enlightenment. The book describes some of these lessons we can learn by studying nature using scientific methods and compares them with the Jain scriptures related to physics, cosmology, chemistry and biology.
