Here’s a comparison table: Vedānta Proofs vs Scientific Proofs

Aspect	Vedānta Proofs	Scientific Proofs
Basis of Validation	Experiential realization, scriptural authority, logical reasoning	Observation, experimentation, measurement, repeatability
Nature of Evidence	Subjective but verifiable through personal experience and consensus of realized teachers	Objective, empirical, measurable, publicly verifiable
Method	Meditation, self-inquiry, reflection on scriptures (śruti)	Experiments, data collection, statistical analysis
Examples	- Realizing “I am Brahman” in Advaita practice- “Tat Tvam Asi” from Upanishads- Transformation in behavior and detachment	- Newton’s laws of motion- Germ theory of disease- Chemical reactions observed in lab
Scope of Inquiry	Ultimate reality (Ātman/Brahman), consciousness, liberation	Physical universe, measurable phenomena, natural laws
Reliability	Depends on depth of practice, guidance from Guru, and internal consistency	Depends on reproducibility, peer review, and experimental control
Limitation	Cannot be externally measured or universally demonstrated	Cannot address metaphysical or experiential truths (like consciousness or bliss)

Key Insight:

• Vedānta focuses on internal, experiential truth and spiritual realization.

• Science focuses on external, empirical truth and natural laws.

• Both are rigorous in their own domains, but their methods and validation criteria differ.

If you want, I can make a visual infographic of this table showing Vedānta vs Science proofs side by side, which makes it very easy to study and remember.
