right if science and spirituality go together. Scientists will have a peace of mind through meditation. Only a peaceful mind can use its knowledge for peaceful purposes. It has now to be realized that a thorough ethical overhaul of our political, economic, administrative and social system can redeem the situation. Therefore, the main and the initial solution of the global problems has to be the actualization of values through spiritual awakening. For this work among other things, what is required is a spiritual University. A spiriiual U. N. O. is the most urgent need of our times. The military and police forces should also be trained about the nonviolence through the spiritual approach.
It is felt that science lacks the proper direction. Also the science has not given any answer to the problems of death and life beyond death whereas spiritual science does that. Martin Luther king has rightly said "science has completely finished our spiritual power. The scientists are not allowed to take ethical choices, hence we cannot blame scientists or science because it is the controlling political power which are responsible for the misuse of scientific knowledge".
TULSI-PRAJNA
According to Whithead-"The future of civilization depends on the degree to which we can balance the forces of science, religion and spirituality". The power balance has also concentrated in the hands of few politicians where one or two nations decide the fate of the world. Let us, therefore, join together scientists and spiritualists and all of us to humbly renew and reaffirm our dedication to that supremely important and inspiring task of striking a balance between science and spirituality and other forces for the creation of a better world to live in.
