Why is it important to learn scriptures as well as science?
Our life is made up of many dimensions such as physical, mental, astral, and spiritual. Science studies the ‘what’, ‘why’, and ‘how’ of the physical world, religion studies the spiritual dimensions of our life. Scriptures are important because they are the written record of esoteric knowledge about the spiritual dimension of life.
Science has unraveled many mysteries of the physical dimension of life. Science has enabled man to go far into the deep space and learn the secrets of the universe. With each new passing day man is learning more secrets of the universe in many new spheres. With the help of science man is planning to set up colonies on Mars and Moon. He has made his life quite easy and comfortable.
However, his quest for many unsolvable enigmas remains unanswered. This quest for the unsolvable mysteries is the focus of religion and scriptures. Scriptures teach us Faith, Right Attitude, and the Way to the Primal Omnipotent, Omniscient, and Omnipresent Power that is behind the creation of this awe-inspiring universe. Science and scriptures both have two different approaches towards this Power.
Hence, it is very important to learn scriptures as well as science.
