Spirituality begins where science ends

LET us talk science today. We have this notion that science and spirituality are two different, independent, parallel phenomena. We think that they are opposite poles. We’re sure that they can never meet. We are completely wrong.

Spirituality begins where science ends. Spirituality explains what scientists have no ways of measuring or explaining. When science can’t explain a phenomenon it’s labelled as an anomaly. Others call it a miracle. Let me clarify. There’s no such thing as a miracle. What we perceive as a miracle here is normal in another plane of existence. What we think as miracle is usually teleportation, bringing or moving a substance from one place to another.

We are limited by our knowledge. The universe has no limitation. The spiritual knowledge has no limitation. Like in the spiritual world, every possible combination exists in this universe. The universe is too large to be confined to the smallness of human discoveries, or to be comprehended by the human mind. The universe is filled with boundless energy. Today, scientists are slowly coming to the same conclusion. When they find the universe is endless and vast, they realise that nothing can exist in vacuum. There is something common in the entire universe. What could it be? It’s this energy that ancient sages have always been talking about.

Astrophysicists are now talking about possibilities they would never have considered a decade ago. They now talk of the parallel universe. They have discovered that each time a star system dies and disappears into a black hole, another is born in a big bang creation somewhere else in this vast universe. Every action, initiated by humans or by celestial objects, produces a reaction. Until recently scientists were sure that action and reaction were equal and opposite. Not any more.

Scientists have developed the chaos theory. They’re now certain that action and reaction need not be proportionate. There is no linearity in nature. A butterfly fluttering its wings in China can cause a tornado in Mexico! This is their way of confirming what sages have said thousands of years ago.

The wise sages proclaimed that every one of us is a part of a giant puzzle. We’re all a part of the Collective Consciousness. Everything we do or think will influence those around us. Our world is deeply interconnected at many levels. We share the same energy with many different creatures and objects in the universe. We are all part of the same Collective Consciousness, by whatever name we may address it.
