TULSI-PRAJNA
environment. He is a psychosomatic entity surrounded by an extra somatic atmosphere. His inventive, gepius skill and efforts have given protection to him against some natural calamaties on one hand and developed egoist attitude on the other hand. Human has fashioned the natural environment so as to suit his own purpose and satisfaction with the help of scientific tools and techniques. We have created an environment in the name of cultural evolution, defying the forces of natural selection. The devastation of land is carried out in a systematic fashion in the name of resource exploitation, rehabilation of landless and lastly national interest with respect to balance of trade. This process has affected all the livings of the planet including human beings.
It has been observed that in nature, harmony is the normal rule and conflict an exception. Members of the same species never kill one another. Man due to his greedy behaviour become an exception to this natural law, How, the future of civilization depends on the degree in which we can balance the forces of science and religion. The essence of education is religious, which inclucates duty and reverence. Einstein (1929) stated that "science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind”, which has to be understood very clearly in the present day of science and technology. Gandhi (1924) also mentioned that science withour humanity' and “education without charactor" are the social sins. Now it has to be understood that “science is a finite clause of local and limited things, local truth". It is a small part of god. perceived by machine and experimentation Science carry out only animal function like eating, sleeping, developing things for physical luxurious living only. Let me tell you all, that the present science is a western ocean of confusion, created problems like pollution, ecological imbalance etc. and now making another mistake by searching the solutions with the help of science. It must be very clear that education can not be acquired from pride, anger, passion,
