He dedicates a whole chapter on the above subject.
He traces the origin of the word, 'Man' to மனு. Man gets the capability to accomplish what he thinks, aims at. நினைக்கிற காரியத்தைச் செய்கிற அங்கம்தான் மனம். Hence the name மநு.
Cites Blavatsky, co-founder of Theosophical Society and the scientist Oliver Lodge. They laid more emphasis on studying the world of spirits and Deities, தேவதாலோக விஷயங்கள் than on science in their later years.
Refers to Oliver Lodge that.... இவை - spirits, தேவதைகள் - நிச்சயமாக இருக்கின்றன; இவைகளைக் கொண்டு மனிதன் அநுகூலங்களை அடையலாம். '
If questioned, after referring to ஜ்யோதிஷம் sastras on one hand stressing on science like astronomy, it on the hand refers to spiritualism too, He answers according to a scientist, there is no contradiction between both.
It boils down to the ubiquitous Karma theory.
So simple.
Do good.
And
Live well.
