The Future Lies in Spirituality…
Because Science is Too Slow.
Science has discovered so many things that were yet to be discovered in the past… and, our universe is so vast that we cannot possibly physically travel through this universe in our lifetime.
Just imagine, if you travel at the speed of light, you will get to the Milky Way galaxies in 200,000 years, and beyond that…you would reach it in 46 million years. [That is] if you travel at the speed of light.
You can’t even go to the Milky Ways with the help of science yet.
When they send probes to Mars, it takes approximately 8–9 months for them to arrive there, and Mars is just around the corner, it’s not far from here. Now and then, we can see Mars, from here, with our naked eye, when it comes closer to our Planet Earth. And there are so many planets in this universe [which we haven’t even explored yet]… but exploring God? That’s not something science is capable of doing.
I still doubt if we humans will ever be able to produce a means of travel, a vehicle, which can travel at the speed of light. Not possible yet.
We were so happy that we put together Concorde, a supersonic aeroplane, but after some time they discontinued it because there were so many problems coming up [with it]. Now, they are trying to make something that can go as fast as 1.3/1.4 machs. Speed of sound is nothing. Speed of light, that’s what you need.
So, I think the future lies in Spirituality, not in science.
Why Spirituality?
Because science is too slow.
Why?
Because it is not assisted by God.
It [science] is our efforts and our supposition, and then discoveries. We make discoveries based on our suppositions and our suppositions are not 100% correct so the discoveries we make are not 100% correct. After some time, when we learn more about things, we dismiss the first theory and adopt a new one that is closer to reality. So, there is a constant evolution in science but nothing is for sure.
The difference between divine intelligence and human intelligence:
Here in the west, you go for a test [at the doctor’s] for everything. [For example], someone has pain in their chest — they will have at least ten different tests; go into this or that machine and even then they are not sure [of the source of the pain]. And after 10 days, the man dies…right? But in the olden days, the traditional doctors, called ‘Hakeem’, were so intelligent that they would just check your pulse and tell you what was wrong with you.
Now, how did they find out about dysfunction in many different organs in the body just by feeling your pulse? What science is this?
Spiritual science.
