Quantum Principle.

 Years ago,  precisely in the year 1984, I came across "उळ्ळदु नार्पदु" (Forty verses on Reality),

Sanskrit rendering of an original Tamizh text, authored by Sri Ramana Maharshi.

This was given the title :

"सद्दर्शनम्"

Being a student of Physics and Mathematics, I  went through it with a view to studying the same without any prejudice or opinion.

The "Forty verses on Reality" has in all 40 stanzas apparently independent of one-another yet all together help in understanding well the aspects of Reality in a different way.  Moreover, they are also loosely inter-connected in a beautiful way at the same time.

In those very years I was studying "Vedanta" as well.

The word "चिदाभास" is a keyword that is the centre of all this discussion. 

Though modern, advanced studies and research keep on tracking what could be a plausible explanation behind the mystery / secret of existence,  which our Scientist believes to be constricted within "Time-Space" conundrum, or "Time-Space-Continuum", the 40 stanzas candidly suggest :

"यत्पञ्चकोषात्मकमस्ति देहं

तदन्तरा किं भुवनं चकास्ति। 

देहं विना पञ्चविधं तदेतत् 

पश्यन्ति के वा भुवनं भणन्तु।।"

The same has been translated by 

Sri Kapali Bharadvaja Sastri,

In English as :

"Fivefold is the bodily sheath. 

Apart from it, the world appears not. 

Can it? 

Without the five-fold body, 

Where are they that cognize the world?"

This takes me to another equivalent statement of yet another Spiritual Giant 

Sri  J. Krishnamurti, 

When He noted:

"Observer is the Observed"

In Vedantika parlance, (though he didn't know),

He was pointing out to the same fact, namely the  "चिदाभास".

Quantum Physics has though approached the "observer-observed" notion, yet hasn't so far resolved the same.

Still there is hope.

--

World-experience depends on senses,  senses on the mind,  mind on the intellect,  intellect on the intelligence and intelligence on the  consciousness / awareness only. 

A parallel could be found in :

Technique depends upon science,  science upon mathematics,  mathematics upon logic,  logic upon wisdom and wisdom upon the consciousness / awareness only.
