SYNTHESIS OF SCIENCE & SPIRITUALITY

Scientist are reductionists...in a way......they come to conclusions by reducing a hypothesis....to its logical end....they believe in things ...if they stand to experimental scrutiny.....

Spiritualists are holists....in a way....they look at the larger picture....and conclude intuitively....!

Then how can these two quests be harmonised !!!

But if we remove the 'layer' of surface reasoning....both are identical twins under the skin...

Both scientists and spiritualists....have the same quest :

To find out the answers to the unknown !!!

Then why should they not join hands !!!

As ...in the ultimate analysis....whatever that is....it is the unravelling of the mysteries of life...that is important.....not any 'methodologies' or any 'partisan' labels !

LET US PULL UP OUR SOQs...2

FEW SIMPLE "RE DEFINITIONS":

1. GENIUS is a faculty of becoming directly aware of inner relationships between ideas,facts,things,concepts....etc.

2. MEDITATION is a process that aims at establishing the GENIUS in a human !

3. PERFECT REST : Movement in its ultimate extreme is same as perfect rest !

4. SIMULTANEOUS-NESS : In meditation our sequential logic is converted into simultaneity !

5. INTUITION : It is GOD's whisper in our invisible ears !

LETS PULL UP OUR SOQs

SPIRITUALITY &
OTHER QUOTIENTS


What are our spirituality and other quotients........

There is IQ : The Intelligence Quotient....

There is EQ : The Emotional Quotient....

...and There is SQ : The Spiritual Quotient......

( ....in a few years....the 'pundits' might add a few more ....!!!)


IQ was all about 'analytical' intelligence.....and people who scored high on this index were generally 'considered' bright....although....they simply had a greater proficiency in the LEFT hemisphere of their brain.....

EQ became the modern 'buzz word'....(once the intelligent among us realised that a person can be 'intelligent' ....but still may be failing to become successful )....... so it was realised that EQ....or a person's sensitivity/adaptability to emotional factors...was more significant than mere LEFT brain intelligence..... So a premium,for the first time....was placed....(maybe !) on RIGHT brain orientation !

But still the riddle of life was far from being solved......

Then came the MOTHER of ALL....The SQ ...or the spiritual Quotient....

What SQ means....to the best of my knowledge....is a persons 'ultimate' capability to remain happy.....

These are brave words....and an all-embracing definition !

Whatever may be the exact definition..........in this space....we shall try and explore some creative ways to increase our Spiritual Quotient !

We wont worry about defining it....we shall simply pull up our SQ.....

....and I believe that once we are creatively spiritual......we shall ....definitely pull up our SOQs !
