Dr. David Bohm was a significant American physicist in the 20th century.

He had dialogues with Eastern philosophers and religious figures.  Especially through it with Jiddu Krishnamurti, a prominent Indian wise man, he became aware of the similarity between quantum physics and Indian religious philosophy and propounded his original world-view.  Here are some of his comments in "Wholeness and the Implicate Order", one of his famous books.  

How can we find genuine freedom in this systematically controlled society full of difficulties and suffering?  Jiddu Krishnamurti, an Indian philosopher, had been sincerely teaching the universal and deep theme in his 92-year life.  His words has inspired many famous figures in different fields such as Dr. David Bohm, the Dalai Lama, Bruce Lee and so on.

In our stressful contemporary societies, we are taking more interest in medical care.  Mr. Satish Kumar, a prominent Indian thinker, says that a true medial care is a prevention medicine to recover “wholeness.”  In other words, through the direct experience of nature, we should integrate mind and body as the “microcosmos” and become aware of the essential connection among all sentient beings.
