尼古拉·特斯拉
辨喜和特斯拉谈论的应该这样的内容。
The subject of the chat was the equivalence of matter and energy, which was not established fact in science at that time. He wrote: "Mr Tesla
thinks he can demonstrate that mathematically that force and matter are reducible to potential energy."
Swami Vivekananda was hopeful that Tesla would be able to show that
what we call matter is simply potential energy because that would
reconcile the teachings of the Vedas with modern science.
辨喜希望特斯拉能阐释我们叫做物质的事物根本就是潜在的能量,因为这将使现代科学和古代《吠陀经》的教授内容相吻合。
辨喜造访特斯拉应该是事实,但时间应该在1893-1897年之间,似乎在爱因斯坦理论上建立质能等效的科学事实之前10年左右,特斯拉已经认为质能等效了。这个资料其实比辩喜如何评价特斯拉,更能说明特斯拉的神奇。
据资料显示,Tesla的确没有成功用数学证明质能等效,但这似乎不能影响tesla的神奇,辨喜在回印度后的演讲中,还对Tesla的发明创造和心智持肯定意见。
About a year after their meeting, Vivekananda was undoubtedly referring to Tesla when he told an audience in India:
"I have myself been told by some of the best scientific minds of the day how wonderfully rational the conclusions of Vedanta are. I know one of them personally, who scarcely has time to eat his meal or go out of his laboratory, but who yet would stand by the hour to attend my lectures on the Vedanta; for, as he expresses it, they are so scientific, they so exactly harmonize with the aspirations of the age and with the conclusions to which modern science is coming at the present time."
在二人的见面后一年,辨喜在印度一次跟人谈话中毫无疑问提到特斯拉:
”今天最杰出的科学家告诉我,《吠檀多》(吠陀经的最后一部)里所讲到的意识有多么正确。我跟他有私交,此人几乎没时间吃饭,也没时间走出实验室,但却在我的《吠檀多》经的讲座中听了几个小时。据他说,《吠檀多》如此具有科学性,它们跟时代如此地吻合,它们正是今天的现代科学所要得出的结论。”
而且辨喜也似乎从Tesla得到灵感来诠释瑜伽哲学。
and inspired with work of Nikola Tesla , Swami Vivekananda wrote about electricity in his book "Raja Yoga" :
在他的书“王者瑜珈”中,辩喜从尼古拉 特斯拉的研究中得到灵感,他这样来写到电力:
"To give another example; we can transmit electric energy to any part of the world, but we have to send it through wires. The nature, however, can send enormous quantities of electricity without any wire. Why wouldn't we be able to do the same? We can send mental electricity anywhere."
"再举一个例子,我们可以将电力传输到世界的各处,但我们得使用电线。而自然,可以不用任何电线传送巨大的电力。为什么我们不可以做到同样的事情呢?我们可以将思维的电力传送到任何地方。“
"Yes, I sleep only two hours a day,
but when I sleep,
I sleep well, artistically,
because sleeping is an art,
“是的,我一天只睡两小时,
但我睡的时候
我睡得很好,有艺术地
因为睡眠是一种艺术。
just like deep breathing
which must be learned.
就像深度呼吸
这必须得学
That is one of the secrets of the East
which, for me is not a secret.
这是东方的秘密之一
而对我不是
After the sleep, however short,
I have to do some mind exercise
in the order to balance
the newly received life energy. "
不论时间多短,这样的睡眠之后
我得做一些思维练习
目的是为了平衡
那些新接收到的生命能量
Swami Vivekananda, late in the year l895 wrote in a letter to an English friend, "Mr. Tesla thinks he can demonstrate mathematically that force and matter are reducible to potential energy. I am to go and see him next week to get this new mathematical demonstration. In that case the Vedantic cosmoloqy will be placed on the surest of foundations. I am working a good deal now upon the cosmology and eschatology of the Vedanta. I clearly see their perfect union with modern science, and the elucidation of the one will be followed by that of the other." (Complete Works, Vol. V, Fifth Edition, 1347, p. 77). |
