Answer 1

Respected Principal, teachers and my dear friends,

Today I am going to talk about science and spirituality go hand in hand. The outset lets us contemplate on science and spirituality which are not antithesis but they are two wheels of the same cart or they are two faces of the same coin. Science deals with physic and spirituality deal with the spirit. One deals with the material and the other with the spirit. One deals with the visible and the other with invisible. In the same way, one deals with the outer and the other deals with the inner. One is knowledge and the other is wisdom. One supports the other. They are complementary. Gandhiji, being, a man of peace believed in the right co-ordination or combination of the two. Science is lame without spirituality. Real progress or success or peace or Moksha or development or civilization or reformation is possible when science and spirituality go hand in hand or see eye to eye. The conducive co-ordination creates heaven on this earth. Gandhiji knew that the earth has enough to satisfy everybody's need but not greed. He implored for the replacement of greed by love. The world has been facing crucial financial; problems due to the imbalance of science and spirituality or imbalance of knowledge and wisdom. The imbalance is due to a lack of self-introspection.  One is expected to weight the pros and cons without selfish motive and one should look for the welfare of all. One must also keep in mind that whatever glitters is not gold. So the acid test is essential to make use of science which supports spirituality. The goal of the two is to attain Moksha or salvation or to lead a perfect life in which one is expected to see God face to face.
