Science cuts itself from the witness and
remains aloof from the witnessed. The scientist not only stands aside,
outside the field of witness. It is because the scientist is unaware of the
witness, which is apart from the witnessed, and he and his invention are part
of the witnessed. Therefore science cannot cross the threshold of the physical
existence. Thus its invention is limited to physicality.
Science is based on objects; its invention is
based on object as subject. Thus the modern science can get the truth of
objectified subject. Elimination of object mentally and realizing the subject
then judging the worldview on the base of pure subject leads to discovery of
ultimate truth.
The feelings and impressions and notions are
based on the physical self. The scientific inventions are based on the physical
self. Deeper inquiry, analysis and reasoning revels the fact that the physical
self is false self within the false experience.
Modern science is the very opposite of the
Gnani’s standpoint of view. Gnani says that a thing exists on the
standpoint of the form as self and form ceases to exist without the formless
self.
Therefore, it is necessary to know the fact
that, the true self is not physical but the formless spirit, which we call it
soul or self.
There is a need for sufficient distinction or
discrimination has to be made between the witness and the witnessed. The
witness is mixed and identified with what it witnessed and the
result is doubts and confusion still prevailed without identifying the witness.
Personal feelings, ideas, judgments
entered into the presentation of facts by the so called gurus and
the whole mass passed as truth, the process often being given the
high-sounding name of Intuition, Vision or Revelation which are mere fancy
based on the physical self.
The religious idea of rewarding the virtuous
and punishing the sinner in graded degrees are popular among the mass. These
are some of the very well-known instances of pathetic fallacy, that is to say,
introducing the element of personal sentiment in our appreciation of events and
objects. Even today literate mass follow or observe these religious
dogmas superstition and tradition.
