Vol. XXII, No.-1
life of modern society. Science & Technology is the most challenging field of knowledge today. It has greatly improved our quality of life in the External World. On the other hand its application for the destructive purposes not only involve innumerable cost and effort but also put the human survival at stake. Scientists in the light of true objective scientific pursuit often land up inventing dangerous technologies which can distrub the social, political and economical stability of the globe. Modern science has actually destroyed our environment, traditional cultures and indigenous technologies. Therefore, it is necessary that science, if it is to bi a living force, must derive its strength from moral and spiritual values. Today because of the external pressure created by modern living our loner World seems so perturbed, distorted, uncertain, fearful, dissatisfied and full of tension and anxiety. It is, therefore, very important and essential to pay substanitial attention & divert our efforts to revitalize our Inner World. The need is to awaken the Inner vital force to balance it with the External force for the peaceful and meaningful existence of mankind. Why Spiritual Education with Science ?
Man alone has the capability and potential to unveil the mysteries of Nature. The curiosity, human experience, feelings, power of logical thinking have inspired man for scientific & artistic pursuits. These qualities of human being which can only be experienced and perceived are divine, spiritual and cosmic feelings and can be brought out and developed through systematic study in Spiritual Education. Einstein has rightly said “The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science. Whoever does not know it and can no longer wonder, no longer marvel, is as good as dead, and his eyes are dimmed.” The Project
