Evolving Creativity: The story of our Universe
I am a seeker of Truth. I seek the truth both from the Mind and from the No-Mind.
I believe that no longer can we separate the world of the Mind and the world of the No-Mind; no longer, the division between Science and Religion is feasible. For far too long we have believed that science and religion are diametrically opposite lines of inquiries. We have always believed that science investigates the truth about the outer world and religion investigates our inner world.
However the reality is one; the outer and the inner are nothing but utilitarian divisions. In the end they describe the same reality from different perspectives.
The recent development in Science has started blurring even these different perspectives. The language that science is now using is becoming closer to that of Religion.
I can see that both Science and Religion are now on inevitably converging paths.
The life of a modern man is so much rooted in Science that the experiences of Religion alone will not satisfy his being. Unless Religious experiences are endorsed by scientific analysis, they will never be able to penetrate the being of the modern man. For religion to retain its place, it has to search for an expression which is scientific.
On the other hand, it is also a fact that Science alone is not enough to fulfill the needs of humanity. We need to be happy and peaceful and blissful. Science has provided us with conveniences on our outer periphery but without a blissful interior they remain meaningless.
What is now required is an amalgamation of Science and Religion.
Science has to use the ‘Why’ provided by Religion to investigate the ‘How’ of the Universe.
I believe the ‘Why’ will provide us with clues about the ‘How’ and the discovery of the ‘How’ will further clarify the ‘Why’. From now on both the ‘Why’ and the ‘How’ will have to move hand in hand.
To accept and aid this reality, humanity has to alter its perception about how it views Science and Religion. Time has come for us to nurture people who have the hearts of a Mystic and the Minds of the Scientist; these are the people who can reveal the entire mystery of this Universe to us.
These are the people I would like to call as the spiritual scientists.
Although I am an engineer by profession, I can see that being a scientist is not about the study of the ‘Subject of Science’ but it is about having a scientific attitude. This attitude is about looking at Existence with awareness; it is about trying to find the cause and affects that work behind this mysterious world; it is about trying to experiment with life itself, in an effort to unveil its secrets.
Therefore there is no intrinsic relation between being a student of the ‘Subject of Science’ and having a scientific attitude; we all live life and it is about experimenting and learning from life.
This quest for experimenting and learning gives one a scientific attitude.
On the other hand, everyone is born with a spirit; so naturally we are all spiritualists. Normally we are so much engaged in the activities of the Mind that we forget all about the spirit; but nobody can forget himself for very long. A little shift of focus away from the world of the Mind and towards the inner voice that beckons us is all that is required.
So the dawn of the spiritual scientists is not a utopian dream but a viable and necessary reality that is required if we are to be grow as a humanity and understand our role in the Grand Design of Existence.
The book is a small attempt to create an environment where both, Science and Religion can co-exist in the same person.
Swethketu(the main protagonist in the book) is a spiritual scientist, who not only endeavors to know himself but he also
endeavors to know how this Universe functions. In the end he finds out that both his quests leads him to a common reality. The entire Universe is an organic whole; it is a living entity and we are the very soul of this living Universe.
