Science and Religion- Twin Ignorance that is leading Mankind to Doomsday

An analysis of Origin of  Terrorism and the only way out to save Mankind  

Mankind, running at ever increasing speed to conquer nature, with out understanding the oneness of nature, has ended in an unstable world, gripped with fear and insecurity. Looking at the recent developments in the world, I feel that we are now face to face with life and death. The choice lies in our hand.

Mankind has come one circle to realize that he is helpless in front of nature and its consciousness. The biggest power of our materialistic world had awakened to a new reality that, all the materialistic discoveries and weapons developed from the realm of the mind at huge cost could not protect the life of thousands at the World Trade Center and Pentagon. Another important point to note is that in spite of all the developments in science it is helpless to stop nature from quaking, flooding, burning and erupting killing millions ruthlessly. 

 

The twin mode of destruction that is about to engulf mankind is very clearly written on the horizon. On one hand, we are going see a situation where mankind is turning against mankind. On the other hand we are going to witness increasing natural catastrophes taking millions of life and causing immense misery to mankind. It is time we review and find the cause and ways to avert it. The basic cause that is destabilizing our world is ignorance.

 

The world today is living in two types of ignoranceScience and Religion. These are two distinct paths to reality. One is directed to conquer the outside world and the other is directed to conquer the inside world. Both are powerful and carry with it the spark that can ignite destruction of mankind as well as the spark that can give new life. Thus mankind is locked in the biggest uncertainty – Only light [True knowledge and the Unification Theory] can save mankind.

 

A Brief Path to Reality

Science began its quest to conquer nature by isolating mind and matter and has come to conclude that the reality of nature could not be understood in isolation of matter, mind and the consciousness [interpretation of quantum reality]. Today Science’s foundation exists broken into pieces. It is nowhere near to knowing the oneness and the interrelationship in nature. In spite of this knowledge striking mankind he has not stopped for a moment to think and review the action he takes based on the old scientific knowledge. Linear science has shown us that every action has immediate equal and opposite reaction. Yet another branch of science non-linear physics has shown that action can accumulate and with an apparently small input can burst into huge reactions. In the light of the latter developments it directly means that, we are the originators of all direct and indirect natural catastrophes.

Can the most advanced scientific country like America assure you that the pounding of Mother Earth ruthlessly in limited area like Afghanistan will not lead to some major earthquakes and sudden global climatic changes?  Much of the age-old scriptures clearly say that action and reaction is not his [God’s] product but is our own creation. [ Since this article was written, we have witnessed earth quakes in Afghanistan, un usual drastic floods, fires and other natural catastrophes in various parts of the world]

 

Religion has its growth directed to the center and knowing the central aspect that controls all things in nature. It is directed at knowing the source of misery. All of us would agree that there could be only one center to a circle. Likewise for this whole universe there is only one center. To this center there can be unlimited path. One who sets his eye to the center would never cross the path of others. Unfortunately there are hardly few who look at the real center. All of us are in the grip of pseudo centers. The fig – explains it.

   

     

The first figure is absolute non-existent presentation. Our universe is living and moving one. It exists in a contracting or expanding phase. This invariably means it could be broadly divided into three components. These three parts represents the three major religions of the world. Unfortunately in forming, organized religions and community we have isolated ourselves from the real way that leads to the center and the knowledge of the central God that controls the existence of nature.

The knowledge of the God lies not in the realm of mind but in the realm of the heart. We have forgotten that all the religions speak of Love, Peace, Harmony, Truth and Justice. All these are aspects concerned with the consciousness not the mind. A man who adopts war and terrorism to establish, Peace, Harmony, Truth and Justice are totally ignorant of the God and Love.  Both war and terrorism has to be condemned with equal contempt. No product of mind can ever bring Love, Peace, Harmony, Truth and Justice to this world. The product of the mind is “I” or the conquering power. It leads us to suffocation and death. The only path to life is to sacrifice “I”. Only a secret weapon called “Light” can save mankind today.

All intellectuals with commonsense and guts would accept that, Osama Bin Laden – the dreaded terrorist is our own creation. He is the product our mind and its conquering motive. Every leader molding this world is responsible for his creation. War is not a solution to terrorism, because terrorism has its roots in war. It is the younger brother of evil called war and conquering motive that has gripped mankind, leading him to death and destruction. Only “Light” can lead mankind out of this vortex. It is important that we conduct an introspection such that we see and experience Light. None of us can claim that we have no part in the world we live in. We are all corrupt. We work and struggle to propagate our “I”. We are unaware, that this struggle only leads us to death. In pursuing our “I” we are waging a loosing battle. We have to submit ourselves to the greater “I” that is governing the universe and follow his path. This is the only way for survival. I am sure He exists and comes to save and give judgment – question is after how much more destruction? Beyond doubt we are bound to witness great earthquakes and other natural catastrophes in the very near future unless we awake to interrelationship and the oneness of nature and stop pounding Mother Earth.

 

As a boy, a student and in the early part of my life as a researcher, I never believed in God. I viewed religion as invention of the intelligent to rule the ignorant. I always argued that, one could find more good people in a congregation at the market center than in a congregation of Church Priests. I believed in calling myself human being than being branded as Christian, Muslim or Hindu. I believed, work is worship and concentrated on my work. I did soften my stand on God as I found too many loopholes in the foundation of science and as I set out to understand nature. The path to the center [God] revealed in parallel to my enquiry into the secrets of nature. The ultimate secret, which was revealed to me, proved my basic stand. – The basic problem of the world today is that – In branding ourselves as Christian, Muslim and Hindus we have failed to understand our basic brand called Human beings. In our mad conquering motive we have gone blind not to understand the fact that it is the heart that controls the world, not the mind.
