From one of my FB Discussion:
What has happened here is I have said something contentful and unusual. But seems like, You have read it once, found opportunity to respond and responded, a rejectionist attitude rather than a deciphering-it attitude. Not good. Had you attempted to understand it you would have attempted reading it twice or more. Why will I say clearly contradictory things? Am I trying to fool everyone with jargons and words? Certainly not. I voluntary made 5 comments on topic in a row only because I had something contentful to say. I do have a better than common understanding of Spirituality though it is still stub. The good thing is your reply will help me understand the first impression one may have of How I explain it. Where do I have to orient other person to get the flavour of needed thinking to understand the complexity.
1. You missed a very significant word 'current'. I said, "Current science can't understand it". Currently science is far from perfect. Understand that what we term as Science is not the Science in real. It is our understanding of Science. That is why it changes though Science itself is constant since Universe. When humans weren't there to understand it, it was still there. There are many working Science which are yet to be understood. Otherwise CERN and NASA will run out of much of their Bussines.
Yes, correct. There is fully documented and practised way to start understanding things which are not straight to our senses and beyond it 'Normally'. Its a human way and that is why Sprituality exists amid humans. The 'methods' are listening, reading, contemplation, understanding, following and Sadhana (practicing) and then realizing it as it becomes your Personal Experiance. Normal methods to acquire any knowledge. Its the 'Theory' which changes in Sprituality from Western Science. We are making two mistakes:
a) We are rejecting one feild of Knowledge on the basis of other! It's like rejecting Physics on the basis that what West had given us till 2012 is Botany (assume)!! It's a blunder.
b) More than that, we are rejecting a historically proven and constant field of knowledge, out of recent and changing field of Knowledge!!
Actually, why we make this mistake is :
p.1) we have closed ourselves to Western Science (Narrow Mindedness). Since childhood we see only one thing which is convincing too (Botany in analogy) as it suits our normal way of acceptance. So it gets all our 'Faith' and 'Thought Process'. We will find it really tough to think in any 'Different' way initially even if it is correct or more correct or entirely different topic (Physics in analogy). And naturally we will make that mistake of attempting to 'Reject' it with what we already know though they are different fields.
p.2) The other hurdle is Theory of Spirituality will not get our confidence easily. It is radically different. Obviously, not everything in Universe will have to be suitable to our approach and way of thinking and accepting. Every thing is more or less similar to Western Science except 'Observation' part, as it is pretty complex.
Actually, We are limited in our ability to make needed Observation to prove or disprove the Theory by Mother Nature in normal scenario :( .So the Life Cycle in this Field is different and uncomfortable to our normal way of accepting anything as opposed to Western Science. You need to 'Believe' ie. have 'Faith' first and 'Persevere'. Then you start realizing and start Observing which is not possible by normal senses due to inherent limitations. Claims of many awesome humans that it all becomes a personal experience, several documented mysterious events and proper documentation of Vedas is probably only things which point towards real reality.
Addendum:
The ever perfecting western science is nothing in comparison to perfect spirituality. Western science can be misused and is big failure from many perspective. Refer 'Man the Unknown' by Dr. Alexis Carrel. Spiritual science leads to perfect society concept. The innerself which is the base of all outer experiences (mere a default initial level of consciousness) and itself is hidden, develops and a Human Transcends to higher level of consciousness (she understands what our external senses don't get easily or don't get at all) and ultimately to the Highest!!!!
As everything in nature is quite balanced and have a reason, so is true about the phenomenon of low state of our default senses and with Sadhana transmigration to higher state of consciousness.
As the educated, contemplating and intellectuals, the onus is on us to not make The obvious Mistake. And, If we don't want utilise our ability to have Faith and form Belief, we have no ground to judge Sprituality and conclude it a falsity.
