SCIENCE AND SPIRITUALITY
amandeep
The Mission does not visualise any reason for contradiction between
Science and Spirituality. On the other hand, it holds the firm view
that all the achievements of science and technology shall make human
life more and more beautiful, comfortable and loveable, provided it is
blended with the sublime human values based on spiritual
enlightenment. Where as the Mission welcomes all material achievements
of man that have made life easier, faster and more comfortable, it
does not approve of the on-going mad race for building up of nuclear
arsenals and for the amassing of all other kinds of arms and
ammunition. Certainly the Mission believes that reason for armed
conflict or violence may be any, but the outcome is the same i.e. loss
of human life and destruction of property.
Further, the Mission is of the opinion that it is not the gadget that
matter most, it is the use that it is put to. And this depends on the
man's own intention. Nuclear energy, for example, can go a long way to
make life more and more comfortable, but it has the potential to
annihilate humanity too. The choice is, of course, with man himself.
The Mission here says that man must opt for making this earth more
liveable rather than cause destruction. In short, all human endeavour
should lead to the welfare and common good rather than trouble,
tension, pain and sorrow.
All wars should, therefore, be tackled within Mind rather than
outside. The Mission is of the opinion that all efforts to supress
violence, eliminate weapons and bring peace will prove in vain until
and unless the evil spirits of hatred and pride are removed from the
minds.
Naturally this can be achieved only by appealing to the conscience of
man and changing his way of thinking before expecting a change in his
behaviour. By way of means to achieve this, the Mission seeks to make
every human being spiritually awakened and adorned with Divine
Knowledge so that he manages to rise above narrow considerations of
selfishness, ego, hatred and jealousy and think in terms of human
unity and universal brotherhood.
