The Blind Chase of Modern Science

 has Given Rise to Plethora of Problems We Face Today

(Akhand Jyoti,Nov.Dec.2010)

Scientific search and its progress

We have completed the first decade of 21st century. We are gradually moving towards the final stage of scientific progress. Many inventions that were assumed to be either impossible or mere day-dreams have become reality today. Science is not only unraveling many biological secrets, but also about the dark corners of the gigantic universe which were hitherto unknown and have kept us wonderstruck. Our mind wants to know what black holes are. How was this universe created and who created it? Is there life in those planets and stars that are far beyond our own planet? Are the beings of those planets also be interested in knowing about us? Are riddhis and siddhis hidden behind the unknown layers of creative consciousness? Many such questions keep cropping up in our ever curious mind. Science is in a position to answer many of these questions. It appears as though by 2030, science will reach the peak of its development and its benefits will be available to the mass of humanity.

Science in our daily life

Science and its progress have influenced our daily life in a big way. We can see how science has affected our way of living, eating, life style etc. Now we use less of our brain and more of science and its gadgets in our day-to-day activities. Even a small mathematical calculation, which our brain can easily do, is being done using a calculator by the shop-keeper. A person at the mall or multiplex will solve this same thing using a computer. This can be observed today in any town or city. A person in the village will do the same calculation using pen and paper. This is a small example of how fast science is entering our daily life. To move from one place to another even over short distances, we use scooters, motorbikes and cars whereas developed countries like Japan and Germany have started using bicycles to minimize air pollution. Each and every person wants to own an automotive vehicle whether he needs it or not or whether he can afford it or not. 

Science is the ‘Lamp of Alladdin’

“Smart Home” is not a dream or utopia any more. Today, people can turn on their electronic appliances through remote control even before they enter their house. If you want your house to be warm, you can program it like that; and if you want it to be cool, you can do so too. You can make your kitchen function the way you want it to when you get back home.

Thanks GOD, Thanks Sadguru,
