WATER IS FLAT : EARTH IS FLAT
thing in common-We HATE all liars, pretenders, all Humbug. We desire to "hear the truth” and to tell the truth". What a pity, what a commentary of the "world", that when someone just using plain common sense, also called "sanity", disproves the Liars and Humbugs and tells the truth...then the "Party" and all "party liners", also the Religion of the Land...goes berserk and filled with anger and hatred at ANYONE who Dares...to tell the simple Truth, Earth is Flat.

Science and Philosophy
The real form of things can be known only when our thoughts and emotions concentrate on the fense of sight; but even this perception is not subtle. The right sort of perception takes place when our thoughts as well as emotions become pure and holy and reach a certein stage of spiritual progress. The sort of perception made at this level is philosophy-tatvagnyan or the knowledge of the essence. The representation of certain portions of that philosophy with the help of certain practical experiments can be named 'Science'. Thus science is a part and parcel of 'Philosophy'.
Science, without the help of philosophy, shows imaginative or unreal or fanciful forms of things. This line of demarcation between philosophy and science has been effaced during the last hundred years. Not only this but science has crossed its legitimate boundary lines and defamed philosophy. Infact, this is a very sad state of things. Philosophy is a vision or an insight. Science is hands and feet, If there is no control of insight over the activities of hands and feet, there arises some calamity. It is, therefore, said that:
WITHOUT SCIENCE, PHILOSOPHY IS LAME.
WITHOUT PHILOSOPY, SCIENCE IS BLIND. In the present age we see much progress of education, knowledge and intellect; and yet the standard of life of the people.. is! going down in all respects. The root cause of this state, as shown impartially by wise thinkers is that we human beings have been fascinated by science. People have no faith in spiritual philosophy. Intellegent and educated persons to-day have no lofty ideals of life before them. We should therefore, start pondering scient ifically and impartially over things around us wiih the help of great: 1 philosophers.
