There may be 10001 scientific explanations about various natural phenomenon happening in the cosmos which many atheists use to justify their stand on religious matters.But still,there are 10001^10001 minute cases which still science struggles to understand and theorize concretely…why??Currently under research,pat comes the reply..Good,at least you are in pursuit of the truth,I say.

Though I am a science student and find science extremely fascinating,I find spirituality even more thought-provoking.No wonder,My philosophy of life is centralized on my spiritual experiences rather than my scientific experiments/knowledge.I’ve always inclined myself upon realizing the truth through examination & experience,rather than blindly following the scriptures,whatever may be the religion.My emphasis here is not on the scriptures but the ‘blind faith’ people base themselves upon

I’ve always been scientific in my spiritual pursuit.Though I am not yet in an authoritative stand to reveal my mind,I still would like to pen down some snippets,just for record sake…so that a few years from now,when I look back to gauge myself,I shall find this piece helpful.Getting back,my science study has taught me to seek answers through questions.Fine,to question you’ve first got to observe & concentrate on what’s available to you.As far as philosophy is concerned,I thought my religion is my best source.Thus began my quest….still continuing

Religion is an interesting categorization for mankind.Many religions thrive on people’s faith,obeisance and principles.No harm there as long as it is flowing  through pious preachers.But,unfortunately,today,there are umpteen number of  ‘god children’ existing on earth,that chaos is what is ultimately happening.Religious wars politicized,religious communities stigmatized,religious places under curfews,discrimination at work based on religion….if same religion,then caste….if same caste,then financial class…then country…then color..then creed…then gender….wow,i think i can write an interesting c++ code using the header file #include<society.h>

Why??I mean what’s happening….brutalities under the name of religion have always erupted over the stretch of time.My worry is not over the brutalities,not the victims,but the cause….the failure of mankind to grasp the essence of religion–peace & self realization(in the most abstract sense),the intellectual ignorance associated with practicing religion,you may just go on to view the problem from various angles and ultimately you’ll realize that the various stumbling blocks one encounters are firmly cemented on the primary blunder of the mind-lack of perseverance of truth..what is the truth??That is philosophy,That is Spirituality,That is Science…………THAT IS MY RELIGION.

I don’t mind listening to the vibrant Lalitha Sahasranamam or to the energy-packed Namaz.I don’t mind reading the Bible’s Chapters or the Buddha’s Preachings or reciting the Sufi Poems…I am open to all…My aim is to seek truth through my mind,through my experience,through my experiments,through my existence..so,I am welcome to embrace any source that provides me with the scope of fulfilling my intentions..i am a very selfish person,in the sense it is meant to be.

But to seek truth,there are many prerequisites…I am not very sure of myself here,as I am still a traveler on the road.. making my thoughts black & white on my diary…while relaxing under a tree after an exhausting journey under the scorching sun.So,this is purely a personal record.

Prerequisites,well first and foremost is health-both mental and physical.While mental is to be dealt on a very sensitive scale,physical can be easily understood in layman language.A healthy mind can survive only in a healthy body…though the vice versa mayn’t be necessarily true.[Now,Stephen Hawkings???What do you say,a brilliant scientist he is...Hmm,science always has exceptions doesn't it?Why??That's the law of nature,currently can't say more,knowledge insufficient]That’s why all religions have prescribed various code of conduct.Waking up before the sunrise,Having bath regularly,Vegetarianism,Non-violence,Celibacy,Fasting,Silence,Yoga,etc etc all these are brilliantly compatible with Science,no doubt there.Though many are unaware of the logic behind imposing these conditions,they blindly follow these as mere customs and traditions–good for them(whether they follow it whole-heartedly or not is of secondary importance).But then,there is a hidden threat here…as generations plunge and rise with time,if the reasoning sinks into the crust…the upcoming scientific generation may not accept these genuine rules of life.Instead they may become astray.Unless and until they’re wise enough to discover on their own,in which case they’ll be greatly helping mankind…else otherwise,there would be serious problems for the nature and mankind….an inevitable disastrous clash is predictable.Hence,if analytical pursuit is your premise,then not only would it enrich your knowledge and sharpen your brain,but improve your insight towards your religion making the experience all the more divine and cherishable.However there is a caution here.Not all rules laid down by the religion can be reasoned,because some of them are  sheer consequences of  the preacher’s bias attitude or demanding temporary situations.For this a little examining of history helps,but before handling such sensitive aspects,it is better if the premise of evaluation is restricted to explainable aspects first.

Start by doing what is necessary,then what is possible and suddenly you realize you are doing the impossible.After all,Impossible==I’m possible.Isn’t it??

    In the run for religion we have lost its meaning… looking it differentiatively we have lost its uniformity, its spontaenity. Evrey practices, religion ultimately leads us to a single goal…. this is what big masters says…. but, still so many conflicts lying. In order to proove ourselves right we superimpose ourselves in prooving others wrong.
    I strongly protest in looking things too finely as its departing us from each other. When we talk about Sahitya…. We have read number of authors. But, reading Vivekananda gives immense pleasure. A generation of current within.

    May we be not understanding it completely but we reach our spirituall peace.

    eg: when you talk to a Dr. or your friend, if he is listening you quitely, and grasping your query. Whether he is able to solve it or not but, you feel so calm that you are cured. While, a person who is not grasping anything from you, or not understanding you, or taking you ina wrong way…. you will never feel that pleasure and spiritual unity within ……

    Spirituality is the absolute science, the science which everybody shud know. Its the science of knowing self, and to get the best out of self… Even it cant be domained only to these meanings…
