Science, Materialism and Spirituality


YES!+ Vadodara is done with the 5th day of the workshop.The day passed with participants cracking jokes, having fun and then leaving in heavy rains for their houses.
So today, let's talk something about a topic which people find difficult to understand - Science and Spirituality.
Often one may find people either completely spiritual or completely materialistic.The people who are fully materialistic and take no intrest in Spritual well-being are frusterated and stressed out in the long run.They do not accept spirituality and then throw half-heard scientific facts here and there, leaving everyone including themselves confused.
So let us all understand what is Science and Spirituality.

Actually there is no division between Matter and Spirit !
the finest aspect of matter is spirit and and the grossiest  aspect of spirit is matter.
Science and Spirituality are 2 ways of looking at the entire Creation.

Science needs proof and explanation first and then faith follows.Spirituality is having faith first and then explnation comes up.

People also have this perception that scientists do not believe in spirituality, which is totally wrong.
First of all we all must be aware that the Ancient Rishis of India were Scientists.The explanations given by them for each and everything is so effortless to understand.Also not even a single scientist was prosecuted in ancient India.All of us know Einstein !!! He was such a great scientist and he said that he has never heard anythign like the teachings of Bhagvad Geeta ; he was inspired by it.If we listen to a quantum physicist then it feels as if some person who is well-versed and leared in ancient scriptures is speaking something.

Science is the systematic understanding of "What This Is" and spirituality is understanding "Who Am I".
Today people who are too much materialistic - like politicians , need to broaden their vision and become more spiritual. This will help put an end to the deadly diseases like "Corruption".
Today Scientists are discovering many new things which the Ancient Rishis of india were already aware about.. In ancient times the Rishis could tell the distance between Earth and Jupiter jsut by sitting at a place and meditating for a little while. The Rishis told that everyone is having DNA of all animals in them which scientists are coming up with now. Their living habits were also cultured.They always had a balance between their spiritual nature and materialistic nature. Thus they lived their life happily and gave such simple yet powerful knowledge to the society.

We should also understand that we need both Science and Spirituality to bring contenment to our Soul.
