Speculative "scientists" change their minds on everything every few years, demonstrating that the way of ascending knowledge is imperfect. Indeed, some say there is no end to the paradigms, one can go on approximating truth eternally and never reach a final conclusive vision.
The "science" of bhakti is different ; we accept the words of God, accepting that the Divine Supercomputor not only has full knowledge, but is in fact the original energy of all knowing. Vedas say ; isvarah parama Krsna, anadir adir govinda, sarva karana karanam, Krsna is the supreme controller, first being, cause of all causes.
So, when we accept this descending knowledge, we supposedly get perfect knowledge, provided we are perfectly receptive and compare notes with other saintly and advanced persons and corroborating scriptures ; they should say the same things if they are truly from the Perfect Source.
@1234gone We are forever seeing new paradigms, scientific and other, because the Mind of Man is actually creating (or accessing) Universal states of "Reality"
@JackSailFish Beautifully put, yes. Thank you for your reply !
- We Gaudiya Vasinavas go by this general paradigm ; acinty bheda abheda tattva, that all things are One, but at the very same time, they have infinite diverse distinct identities. The example is of the Sun, and the Sunshine. they are One, one exists because of the other, but there is a source of energy, and a result is sunshine, which has a distinct identity from the sun. So in short, simultaneously one and different.
In Krsna consciousness there is also this progressive ever-fresh ever expanding bliss/knowledge awareness of loving eternal service, but it tends to be dependent upon the orchestration of all the unique voluntary souls there into a great symphony, written by the Composer, as opposed to the infinite other possibilites written by the counltess lesser divine souls. As it turns out, Lord God Sri Krsna et al have the highest satisfying enjoyment, best choreographers and writers and musicians and cooks, so His parties are the best ! So everyone says. Bliss! Hare Krsna
