Quote

The multiplicity is only apparent. This is the doctrine of the Upanishads. And not of the Upanishads only. The mystical experience of the union with God regularly leads to this view, unless strong prejudices stand in the way.

The total number of minds in the universe is one.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
The organism feeds on negative entropy.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
Multiplicity is only apparent, in truth, there is only one mind.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
Science cannot tell us a word about why music delights us, of why and how an old song can move us to tears.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
If a man never contradicts himself, the reason must be that he virtually never says anything at all.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
We must not wait for things to come, believing that they are decided by irrescindable destiny. If we want it, we must do something about it.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
I don't like it, and I'm sorry I ever had anything to do with it.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
If you cannot - in the long run - tell everyone what you have been doing, your doing has been worthless.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
The scientist only imposes two things, namely truth and sincerity, imposes them upon himself and upon other scientists.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
The world is given to me only once, not one existing and one perceived. Subject and object are only one.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
If we are going t stick to this damned quantum-jumping, then I regret that I ever had anything to do with quantum theory.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
The task is not to see what has never been seen before, but to think what has never been thought before about what you see everyday.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
The verbal interpretation, on the other hand, i.e. the metaphysics of quantum physics, is on far less solid ground. In fact, in more than forty years physicists have not been able to provide a clear metaphysical model.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
Matter and energy seem granular in structure, and so does “life”, but not so mind.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
[A living organism] ... feeds upon negative entropy ... Thus the device by which an organism maintains itself stationary at a fairly high level of orderliness (= fairly low level of entropy) really consists in continually sucking orderliness from its environment.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
For a solitary animal egoism is a virtue that tends to preserve and improve the species: in any kind of community it becomes a destructive vice.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
No self is of itself alone. It has a long chain of intellectual ancestors. The I is chained to ancestry by many factors ... This is not mere allegory, but an eternal memory.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
The world is given to me only once, not one existing and one perceived. Subject and object are only one. The barrier between them cannot be said to have broken down as a result of recent experience in the physical sciences, for this barrier does not exist.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
An animal that embarks on forming states without greatly restricting egoism will perish.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
The sensation of colour cannot be accounted for by the physicist's objective picture of light-waves.
