Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

Science means simply theoretical knowledge is not sufficient. Observation and experiment is necessary.

Lecture on BG 1.23 -- London, July 19, 1973: Practical examination. Those who are science students, in BAC, they have to give, pass theoretical knowledge and practical knowledge also. Simply theoretical knowledge, "So much hydrogen, oxygen, makes water," that is theoretical. But when you mix up hydrogen, oxygen gas, and actually prepare water, that is called practical. So that is science. Science means simply theoretical knowledge is not sufficient. Observation and experiment. Experimental knowledge. That is called vijñānam. So by practical knowledge you should be well-acquainted with God. That is brāhmaṇa's business.
