Seeing the Truth in its Spirituous-scientific context and experiencing peace and solace
This volume contains some of the
articles written by the author from time to time on various sub-titles relating
to Science and Spirituality. These articles are not like chapters of a book
or monograph, having no composite
scheme, but are, to a large extent, independent of each other and are
self-sufficient. But yet the sequence or order in which they have been placed
in this volume is such that the reader would feel that there is some subtle or
visible connection of one with the other. Even though the serial order of these
could be changed without seriously affecting the continuity or the building up
of the theme yet the author preferred the present serial order. Moreover, he felt that the
first two articles should occupy the place they do now because of their nature
and content.
The idea behind this book is not to give a very comprehensive spiritual or scientific world view but to arouse the interest of the readers to know further on the subject. However, the book is intended to play the role not of a mere appetizer but also to provide some spiritual food and nutrition to persons with scientific bent of mind.
It is also hoped that while some articles will remove some doubts about, and create some faith in, Spirituality and some others would stimulate new thinking because the concepts give therein are different from the concepts widely accepted today in some fields of science.
The author hopes that the new material provided in some of the articles would receive the impartial and unbiased consideration of the scientists and spiritualists rather than be pushed aside because of its new approach or new spiritual or scientific ideas.
The author does not claim any extraordinary knowledge either of Science and Spirituality. However, he has genuine interest in knowing and understanding the Truth in a spirituous-scientific perspective and he has made a humble attempt to give an expression to his understanding of Truth so that it may be of some service to others if it can be.
Initially, he intended this book to have articles having a bearing in Natural and Biological Sciences only but, later, he thought of including a few articles that relate to Social Sciences also. So, the reader will find that some articles relate to Psychology, Economics etc. also.
The author hopes that the book will create or promote interest in readers in regard to leading a life of higher consciousness and in practicing Meditation__ that art of relaxation that enables a person to be free from tension__ and to experience peace and to ‘see’ the Truth when they are in that level of consciousness or state of being.
