The Science of Self Realization

The Science of Self Realization

Personally, I don’t like organized religion. Thus I’ve made a conscious and informed decision to follow science, the science of the soul. So how does it work? Let me show you. During the space race of the 1960s, NASA spent millions of dollars, energy, and resources developing a pen that would function in a weightless environment. After the Cold War, their astronautical engineers inquired from Russian cosmonauts as to their solution to this anti-gravity conundrum.  The Russians used a pencil. Alas, the genius of material science is squandered on temporal and deluding hypotheses.

A deficiency of worldly science is the manner in which individuals engage with energy. Scientists rely on an array of mental concoction thus they are indentured to the ramblings of the mind. Society may have shed bows and arrows for bowties but they have maintained the mentality of Neanderthals. Copious amounts of energy have been spent on microwave technology yet this endeavour does not lend itself to the soothing of the soul. It’s simply designed for the satiation of the stomach whilst the soul starves due to neglect.

On the other hand, spiritual knowledge is an internal process whereby one acquires information and dynamically alters cognition via an introspective and reflective mood.   When the mind and consciousness are imbued with spiritual stimuli the practitioner’s behaviour and personality alter for the better. It’s a lived dynamic experience not simply a theoretical exchange between pen and paper. The process is thus alive and enlivening. “Science brings men nearer to God. Little science takes you away from God but more of it takes you to Him” (Louis Pasteur, the founder of microbiology and immunology). Billions of years ago Vedic science elaborately foretold of conservation of energy, the dynamics of subatomic particles, intelligent life on other planets, time-space continuums and evolution based on the transmigration of the soul relative to consciousness. Thoughtful analysis of the material energy will lead one to the conclusion that its source is a supreme conscious being. “The more I study nature, the more I stand amazed at the work of the Creator” Louis Pasteur.

A fundamental difference between material and spiritual science lies in realization. A spiritualist imbibes and infuses that which he or she learns from the revealed scriptures and via an introspective process applies this knowledge to their relationships, lifestyles and the world.

Spiritual wisdom emancipates one from the labyrinth of terrestrial entrapment. Relying only on material information is like making important decisions based on guesswork. This is out of sync with the frequency of God. Enlightenment derived from the Vedas is free of speculation and beyond the range of the senses. God is the supreme scientist, as such, we follow the supreme authority and adjust our lifestyle according to timeless wisdom. Supreme insight grants access to the characteristics of the living force in eternity, our reason for being, and the intrinsic nature of both material and spiritual energy. This is the science of self-realisation. When sincerely practised it becomes evident, no chasm exists between spiritual and material science as will be illustrated, both are mutually exclusive. “The more I study science, the more I believe in God” (Einstein).

This article serves not as an assault on material science, I appreciate all that they have done to uplift and inspire society from advances in medical research to the selfie stick. Thou I’m a little less impressed with the selfie stick. The Vedic social system is one of balance, which advocates material impetus yoked to spiritual upliftment. In so doing we will come to acknowledge and appreciate God’s hand in every atom of creation. Furthermore, we will come to marvel at His grand design by becoming aware of His unlimited intelligence as the architect of innumerable universes. A synthesis of both results in humble admiration of an illimitable conscious being who reveals himself through the slightest details of life and the grandest of miracles.“The first gulp from the glass of natural sciences will turn you into an atheist, but at the bottom of the glass God is waiting for you.” Werner Heisenberg, who was awarded the 1932 Nobel Prize in Physics for the creation of quantum mechanics.
