Science and Spirutuality

SCIENCE AND SPIRITUALITY

"Nature obeys mathematical law." -Frank Wilczek (Nobel Prize Physics,2004)
It is a fallacy. Nature does not follow mathematical law. Maths follows it. Science does. This is the mathematical law. This is science.

The ability to differentiate as to "who follows whom", is mathematical genius of man. To assume that we, of limited minds, can dictate to The Unlimited is sheer arrogance of man. It just brings to fore a common trait of humankind. We assume we know more than we do. We know little.

Science is an ever changing maths.

Every day, modern science is discovering newer theories and truths. The old ones do not work. The new are not static. The old is being given up for the new. Recent scientific findings are putting the old ones in the grave. Proving the previous denizens false, newer demigods of science are claiming hegemony.

There are no more gods left.

So, who is following whom?

Nature is as it was. It shall thus remain. Always.

It is science which is discovering itself. It is finding better ways to know Nature. Succeeding too. To some extent. Yet, it cannot dictate Nature.

Hell, we cannot even predict the weather!

Nature follows Law of The Unlimited. Science obeys it. It first discovers the limited laws of nature, and, just when we think it has got it right, Nature proves us wrong.

The limited cannot know the Unlimited.

Man is no god. He may think so. Is not. Neither is science. It may think so. Is not.

Nature comes from The Unlimited.

It is sired from That Which Is: God, in common man’s lingo. We, the world and those inhabiting it, are but putty in the hands of Nature. It decides when we come 'here". And when we go. All that man can do and does do, is to live out the interval. Following, finding, fixing, floundering and free-wheeling in betwixt.

We do not, cannot dictate to Nature. We obey it. Who does not, is devoid of a scientific temperament.

Science has much to learn from spirituality.

By spirituality is meant metaphysics. Superstition, unscientific semantics of Stone Age religions or ranting of religious bigots, has no place in real spirituality. And, pray, what is the nature of this “real” thing?

Real spirituality is scientific.

Scientific in the sense that what is not factually true, proved to one’s own self at least to be thus, is either false or a fancy. The words used here to define ‘scientific’ are: “proved to one’s own self at least”. This does not mean some so-called ‘prophetic’ half-baked vision of a self-accredited, meandering ‘messiah’ of past or present, is taken to be ‘proved to one’s own self’. Certainly not.

The Law of Nature - The Unlimited Almightiness - "God" of masses and "That Which Is" of classes, must be proved to one’s OWN SELF. This ‘self’ is not some human bodily form but "life". That "thing" which is inhabiting it as its driving force. It’s The Divine Self. Some call this soul, others, spirit. The free mystics refer to it, while defining The Indefinable and The Indescribable, as Universal Life, Oneness, Life Force, Universal Soul etc. Straightforwardly and simply, THAT WHICH IS, sans sophistry, is referred to as Nature or God.

This ‘proved to one’s own self’ is called Self-Realization. It is also referred to as God-Realization. It is what The Knowing One (Buddha) self-discovers through one’s metaphysical experiences. Witnessed in and by The Self. By The LAW OF NATURE inhabiting us all, as our life and spirit. This is always One. There are no gods in "That": God. Only One is Oneness everywhere. This is the penultimate Science of Spirituality. It is The "God" of free mystics.

Were it not ‘proved to one’s own self’ - an inquisitive mind and man in the make of a free soul - this free mystic would rather remain an atheist than a believer.

“Better kafir than kufr!” Free mystics advocate.

That is, rather than telling a lie (kufr}, it is better one remains an infidel (kafir).

In a nutshell, what it means is that if the end result of this spiritual, metaphysical search is not scientifically, spiritually "self-proven" to be ONE; then, atheists and agnostics are right.

On the other hand, if seeking, and, then, not finding ‘That’ SOMETHING ‘Which Is’ as One and Oneness (God and Godliness), one might as well remain an egoistic man. Believing he is The Almighty: The Ultimate God. This would be more scientific than believing in some Anthropomorphic God.

The fable of some ferocious “old” bully sitting ‘up there" in an illusory far-away ‘zannat’-heaven, with ‘hooris’-fairy damsels pressing his legs and much more; is often sold as an obligatory fairy-tale. It is done so fancifully if not fanatically. To be blindly believed in by the so-called ‘jehadi’-"holy" warriors. Who must, then, die in the name of this rickety, raunchy fellow considered "Almighty" by the masses. And their Messiah.

Science must obey Nature.

This ONENESS OF ALL THAT IS - "God Almighty" - is a phenomenon that scientists need find. The Yogis, Sufis and Free Mystics all ages through have sought and found THIS One.

Seek and find.

If science obeys Nature, then, one fine day THE LAW OF ONE shall be finally, fully understood by the scientific community.

Mystics find IT.

Science has yet to find THAT WHICH IS.
