LOGIC OF SPIRITUALITY
This wonderful and glorious world of plurality had been at all times a mystery, a temptation a, a conundrum. From the caveman to the modern scientist sitting amongst electronic equipment in the modern laboratories – ‗Where did it all come from?‘, ‗What is the source of this universe?‘, ‗What is happening all around?‘ – this kind of a question has been from time immemorial. Friends, from Adam and Eve onwards till today, we are still investigating. Sometimes our enquiry went into mysticism and religion, sometimes to superstition and sometimes to facts. But nowhere there is total satisfaction. Man wants to understand the world. This problem is not among the animals. Therefore philosophy and religion has never troubled the animal kingdom. It is only when you become the intelligent human being – then he starts this investigation – this enquiry – this curiosity to understand their world outside and a hundred questions arise in the bosom of every individual whether you are religious or not, whether you are scientific or not. If you are a human being, these questions cannot be avoided. This questioning ability in the human intellect that has brought about the entire - from the caveman to the modern man, all the progress that we have made are all that contribution of this human intellect investigative anxiety, to know - understand the world outside. All the objective scientists of the modern times are glorious people. But limited their approach to this problem. None of them are able to really find out - what is fundamental – it is not their fault. They were trying to understand it with their intellect, because that is the only toy that has been provided by the nature to the human beings. And we were fascinated by that toy and just as a child - when he gets a teddy bear first - he can‘t even sleep without a teddy bear. For few days nothing but the teddy bear day and night. So too we were so fascinated by the achievements and abilities and capacities
