Religion and Science
(religion versus science - religion)

Kaivalya Jnani:
Religion primarily helps us keep a balance in life as a physical manifested being. We do not necessarily be religious in nature. We can simply follow the spiritual path. It is the field of spirituality that ultimately guides the destiny of a human being. What is right or wrong... must we given in or stand up and face the truth... how we shape our physical realm of life is all governed by spirituality. And what is spirituality?

Spirituality simply means following the path of the spirit... the soul atman within! Whenever a human being tends to go wrong... our soul atman residing within our heart always tries to prompt us on the right path.

This is only possible when we are truthful in life. Those who are all the time sinning in life do not hear the sweet small inner voice of our soul atman. Devoid of this voice... they for all practical purposes behave more like animals.

Science was meant for assisting human beings living the physical domain of 70 to 80 years at its best. It is simply not concerned either with reincarnation, the soul atman within, the path of truthfulness we may or may not follow, or anything else that does not concern the physical manifested life. Spirituality and religion start where science ends.

All the three paths are absolutely clear... there is no clash in choosing the respective paths! When I was 11 years of age... I wanted to go in search of God. Going to the temple made it clear that following the religious path would not lead me towards God! I inherently chose the spiritual path. 25 years of yoga meditation brought me to the end goal of life. I realized God at 37 years of age. This is my last manifestation as a human being.

Science did not assist me in my spiritual pursuit. Yes, in earning my bread-and-butter it certainly did help. It was primarily meant for that. Bhagavad Gita... the sacred Scripture of Hinduism... the doctrine give to mankind by Lord Krishna tells us everything how we must conduct ourselves in life. The knower of Bhagavad Gita becomes the knower of all. I simply followed the dictates of Bhagavad Gita and completed my cosmic journey.
