I am reading a book - Living with Himalayan Saints by Swami Rama. An OK book. In the book he has described his experiences about living with so many Himalayan Saints. In fact, I also wanted to meet few Himalayan saints. But never got a chance :( Just wanted to understand their life-style. There are many tales of Himalayan Yogis who can really defy most of the laws of physics say gravitation. Many saints can levitate few foots easily. I do not take the authority if its true, I am just writing what I read in the books. I never witnessed them. These might be hoax also. However, by contemplating on it, it doesn't seem to be impossible.
Swami Rama met many saints in the Himalayas. And each saint he met was famous for some particular kind of power. However he did stressed that enlightenment has nothing to do with these supernatural powers. Out of ignorance, at times, he was rating saints on the basis of power they possessed. Later he realized it was foolishness. His master's master was amazing. He had power of getting vanished. He was really very advanced. Actually, they do not break laws of physics, but they do have access to higher level consciousness by which they can bend the laws of physics in anyway they want. Not Sure. I was thinking more on this. How does a force get transmitted in a bar. Science still doesn't know the answer of this question in its completeness. Say there is a bar of mass M and length L. I apply force to an end. In effect whole rod move ahead although the force was applied at one point. I analyzed this behaviour. The force you apply is transmitted to each and every atom of the bar. That's why the atom of the bar also move. But what is the phenomena which caused these atoms to move although the force applied was entirely mechanical.? And only way electrons can be moved is the electric field. So does it mean that the mechanical force generated electrical field? The business doesn't stop at electron level. Electron is not the fundamental particle. Electrons are also sub-divisible. Then how does that sub-particle move? After getting 581 rank in JEE I still don't know what makes F = mA works? F=mA is the equation of observation. It doesn't tell you why does a force move an object. It's just a quantitative observation. It's not a causal observation. Science has no answer for causal phenomenon. These Himalayan saints has access to that causal. By which they are able to bend the laws of physics. Isn't it?

That was one example. You take any example and analyze in it's completeness. Ultimately you will find science will give up. Science can answer only that which has a reason. And a reason has another reason. Where science lands, spirituality takes off...
