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 ignorance – Science
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.
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.
