in man's hand but does not teach him the sense of discretion or caution that would ensure its correct use. This wisdom of discrimination and sense of judgement is offered to man by spirituality. In words of Vinobaji :
"Science is the life-energy of human existence and spirituality its master mind. Life energy tends to flow along the guidelines provided by mind, hence science too should accept spiritual guidance ... without spirituality, science will not be able to proceed in the right direction ... Spiritual enlightenment is the 'eyes' and science is the 'feet. Without such guidance from spiritual 'vision', man will be blind and would run into who knows what ... science is a double-edged weapon with constructive as well as destructive potential. It can serve as well as play havoc. The discovery of fire by man led to its use in the kitchen to cook food, but the same flame can burn the house down; Science does not tell us which of the above alternatives to opt for. This discriminatory sense can come only from spirituallity. Like a bird flying on its two wings, man can also progress on the strength of dual forces of spirituality and science towards lasting peace and prosperity." 49
Spirituality drives out all ignoble sentiments from the heart of man. After such spiritual ablution, whatever power abides in man will bring peace and happiness in life; man may perhaps, attain power and prosperity in life with the help of science, but true bliss and sustained serenity will elude him for ever.
External circumstances and temporal factors are transient and short-lived. They cannot be depended upon to provide lasting peace and joy for ever. Perennial peace and eternal • bliss are attainable from within To those who fail to imbibe
