In order to clarify the social aspect of all the subjects dealt with in the previous paragraphs it was thought apt that all the 5 subjects be given a form of a question. With the result research scholars will get required help to choose their topic of research. Along with this since a periphery will be demarcated no unnecessary straying will be seen. Along with a pure research based intellect these questions will be analyzed scientifically. When with the aid of logic, facts and proof these conclusions will be collected a form will emerge which will be based on the deep thinking with reference to these questions. There are 5 root subjects viz. 1) Spiritual Philosophy 2) Spirituality based on Spiritual Practices 3) Philosophy of Life 4) Material Science and 5) Medical science.
