Maharaja with Fritjof D. Capra, physicist and systems theorist, a founding director of the Center For Ecoliteracy, Berkeley.
“I began as a physicist drawing parallels between physics and the Eastern tradition. I now believe that physics cannot be placed in the center of the world view. The most appropriate center is the theory of living systems. You put life in the center, and you study life in its multiple manifestations, and you make statements about what life is, what mind is, and what consciousness is in this context. Physics would be defined as the science of nonliving systems…”
