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 the
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. A deeper self - search reveals the fact that, the
physical self (waking entity or ego) is false self within the false experience (waking).
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 things 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's literate mass follow
or observe these religious dogmas superstitions and tradition.
Both modern science and religion
offer hypotheses and theories but there is one vital
difference--science begins with the facts which it collects; religion begins
with fancies. Science evolves its hypotheses from such facts, religion from
fancies.
Science declares that oxygen combines
with hydrogen to give water. And it also declares oxygen is protons
or electrons. But in pursuit of truth the whole physical
existence [universe or mind] is considered as illusion and science and
their inventions, which are based on the physical existence is limited to
physical existence. The truth is within but it is beyond the physical existence.
The science demands physical proof. But the physical proof is
part of the illusion. Hence science cannot go beyond physicality because
the truth cannot be traced with laboratory conditions. Deeper self-search
is required if one wants to push its quest deeply enough.
Common people and primitive minds
fall into faulty thinking through their inherited conditioning , such
faulty thinking and reasoning makes them accept the experience
of birth, life and death as reality ; taking what one sees
through the senses as real, taking what is apparent obvious and
superficial as true because it is less troublesome.
Many People adopt the attitude that
what they know is truth. And what others say id false. This
attitude makes them not to verify anything other than what
they know. One needs to be rational, not merely logical.
Logic has its value only in the physical plane.
As one advances towards the
spiritual plane he sees the logic underlying experience and
becomes more rational. His reasoning is two-fold--implicit and explicit.
There is a need for physical
proof in scientific invention, whereas in path of wisdom the proof
has to be grasped mentally and realized. Therefore, the truth is realized
only by the few who take this mental pursuit.
“Whatever facts revealed, which is un-contradictable has to be accepted as
truth.
The truth based on the formless soul,
the innermost self is worthwhile; without it, one has something else,
not truth. Most people refuse to venture into pursuit of truth;
because they do not want to go into the root of things.
The seeker of truth has to study,
inquire and reason in the beginning of the pursuit of truth, because
it is absolutely necessary in pursuit of truth.
One has to know the true self is not physical but
the formless spirit. The spirit or soul or the self is in the form
of consciousness. Consciousness gives one the awareness of the
three states.
The ignorance of the true self is the cause of experiencing the duality as reality.
The ignorance vanishes through realization of the formless soul, the
innermost self
The soul or conciousness, the innermost self
does not lie in our body or in our brain, or our ego, but
it is the essence of the dual and non-dual experiences, which comes
and goes as waking dream and deep sleep.
