So, scientists say that metal energy is conserved, it is never destroyed, whereas Bhagavad Gita says that metal things don’t endure. There is a difference over here. See, the Bhagavad Gita also says matter is eternal.
The forms of matter are eternal. And what causes us frustration is, you know, we are not attracted to matter policy, we are attracted to forms. Americans, they are proud of the twin tower.
The material that the twin tower was made of, actually existed after the twin tower fell down, but they had no attraction to that. So, our frustration happens because we are attracted to material forms. Material forms are eternal, but matter itself is endless.
It changes from one form to another. So, the conservation of energy is a scientific, is a principle in physics. It’s perfectly compatible with the Vedic understanding that matter itself endures, but material things, material forms, material objects, they are eternal.
