An Introduction To Scientific Religion Of The Future By Shriram Sharma
Man knows only that which is perceived directly by his 5 sense organs. The remaining major subtle activities of the subtle world are known to him only because of holy scriptural injunctions and experiences of great saints of the world. This subtle information has not been experienced by majority of world humanity. As a result laymen tend to wrongly label subtle divine information as the figment of the imagination of great saints. These ignorant laymen say that divine subtle principles are not ‘scientific’ enough for them to accept as truths. They have faith in modern material science because they can be proved with the help of the 5 sense organs (ear, nose, eyes, tongue and skin). On the other hand subtle divine laws are beyond the ken of the 5 sense organs and hence they cannot be ‘proved’ directly. If we truly understand the deep import of material science, religion and spirituality can be looked upon as a deeper scientific law which can certainly be experienced with a refined subtle psyche. If we succeed in purifying our psyche so as to make it subtle all so called differences with reference to modern science and spirituality/religion can be easily dissolved to naught. Our revered Gurudeva (author of this e-book) has initially very deftly dealt with modern material scientific principles and then correlated them with subtle divine principles. Thus he has shown us all that what you see in this material world is but a manifestation of divine cosmic consciousness which is otherwise called God. In this book our revered author covers the topic of modern science and its correlation to spiritual sciences.
From the spiritual standpoint what is ‘bondage’ and ‘liberation’? What is ‘Maya’? How can we know that what is perceived directly by our senses is also real? Our revered Gurudeva while answering these questions writes that if contemporary blind beliefs and dogmas in the field of religion and spirituality can be erased with scientific logic people will accept religion and spirituality whole heartedly. If science is correctly correlated to religion/spirituality and vice versa world humanity will gladly accept both and thus prosper both materially and spiritually. Thus both modern science and spiritual sciences need to march ahead in tandem. The author with the help of sound scientific principles opines that if modern material science fails to accept a spiritual basis it can create havoc and a material/spiritual downfall for the entire world. Today’s dire circumstances all over the world are proof of his deft analysis.
