A Hindu Perspective: Science vs. Spirituality

[Krishna Jaganath]

Hi,

I never claimed to understand either reality. I've only presented a view point that spirituality and science are two different realities, and you have to have qualifications to understand either one. Neither spirituality can be understood be science or science understood by spirituality without the proper qualifications. 

Thanks

To claim anything about something you need to have knowledge about it. You are stating spirituality cannot be understood by science because they exist in separate realities. Which implies you have knowledge of this other reality while you yourself exist within our reality, yet you state a scientist who also exists within the same reality cannot understand it.

Also regarding "proper qualifications" please define specifically what qualifications you mean.

Hi,

I don't need to have knowledge about it if I can reference someone that i view has having the proper qualifications to explain something. For example people talk about science, without having first hand knowledge about how it actually works or being a scientist because they reference someone they believe who has the proper qualifications. The same way I am referencing the saints and their works who talk about this reality. 

Also to define specifically what the qualifications are would be a whole other essay. As i said before the reason for this essay is to establish certain points at a very highlevel. I would be happy to post another essay in a few days about the essence of these qualifications. 
 
Thanks

Hi,

You do bring up a good point when you ask what is spirituality. I was planning to write another essay on the essence of spirituality in a few days. I wanted to first establish the argument that science and spirituality should not be considered as something that can co-exist, they are very different things. Once this point is established I can then talk about what is spirituality. Hopefully you will read it. Would love to hear your comments about it. 

Thanks.

Please don't bother! Writing essays is meaningless in this context, especially when what you are stating can be easily summarized within a few sentences, if not words, retaining the same depth as your entire essay.

If you feel that way then I won't. Sorry for taking up your time.
