its really interesting and difficult to relate the 2 parallel distributed pathways of knowledge and power...i m talkin abt the 2 mindsets-Scientific and religious...a typical scientific will not except the religion..and a typical religious won't talk science....but the matter of our importance is that what we discover now...its been already done as such much before...& thats where our question arise...is our approach correct..??
the answer is both the approaches are correct in their own field of work...what we require now is an intermediate mindset ... thats not on either side..and relate both the facts with logical & patient brain...
rather above we mentioned religion..actually religion is a life style...m not talkin abt a particular religion hindu/muslim ...its a general Indian life style...what is our traditional approach towards nature and life...??
and what was the reasoning behind our considerations,assumptions....lets for example...water is being treated as a DEVA...why..??
science rules out every consideration as a basic approach tht what we can proof is correct...what we see by our own eyes is dependable...
now think..can a normal man..with a 80(on avg)yrs life..observe and see everythng by self and conclude its correctnes..??
no.,,definitly...not..a scientist also believes the words of her mother tht its her child....!! no proofs are demanded...!!!
you even thn believe words...!!! and more over..we don't try to find out the correctness of everythn by performin ourself..d we..???
an engineer has got nothin to do with how DNA strainds are detcted or wht ws the basic whn tim horford concluded basic economy facts..!!!
we beleive their words...!!
bt whn it comes to our own culture..we become logical..reasoning is our demand...
..lets begin the journey of interrelated pathways...& correctness & reasonin based facts of indian mythology ,culture and traditional values....by relatin it with some definite facts of current world also.................................................................................................
It really amazes me how the people become so narrow minded in their thinking. Sticking to your roots knowing your real base is good thing but becoming so shallow thinker in accepting the new thing even though they are supported by their indicators shouting their throat out.
ReplyDeleteWe (you and I) and every Indian culture follower have very good belief in them but although it’s hard to find (and I seriously don’t want to compare 2 culture) that at some point we in culture evolution we were left little behind in development path. And the biggest example of this myth buster is the computer itself that you see right now wasn’t it not the product of some very nice out of the box thinking of some people who rubbed their ass off in order to make some development for mankind. They also would have their chains holding them at their grounds but they didn’t let it they let them self free and simply decide what good and bad.
And as reference to your mother child and DNA broth one point – Dr. James D Watson didn’t ever ran that DNA test to check whether his mother is the same lady who gave him the birth there are vast other things like cloning, genetic screening .genetic engineering, paleontology etc. etc. (list of streams is beyond the scope of this discussion) which are run or to be correct were open by his work.
In end I don’t remember the name of the writer but I liked his thought its sarcastically amazing but I read him in my hindi book in either 10th or 9th class he said and I quote
“HAR PURANI CHEEZ ACHI NAHI HOTI AUR HAR NAYI CHEEZ BURI NAHI HOTI” .
There is always a balanced approach that include both (religious stability and cultural dynamicity) in right amount working coherently in order to achieve some worthy thing.
well as far as the developmental aspect is concerned i should remind u dat people in most of d so called developed nations have now started taking the path yoga and meditation which our religion has carved out... dis certainly shows dat dis science is much more developed than theirs.... the presence of those people in meditation camps and indian temples purely shows their starvation for mental peace which is a result of their so called modern development... and i too am a science student whos beliefs are dependent on reasons.. and i find ample reasons in supporting what i said just the same way i believe what my science shows me... and as the quote says "need is the mother of all inventions", computer came into existence when man lost the capability to think the way we did earlier.. and this is only when we consider only its good aspects.. every1 knows its so called bad effects on d society which i dont need to elaborate.. well i purely agree wid d line u quoted which itself suggests that most of the old things were good and vice versa is the case wid modern things... we just need to figure out these unworthy elements...
ReplyDelete& as a matter of mine being narrow minded..!!! i am also pursuing b.tech & being a science student i am open to new ideas....
ReplyDeletei am not talking that science is wrong..!!!
i just wanna mention that the pattern it follows to view,observe and judge something is not correct always...
what we see correct 2day..is wrong sm other day...
most of the things are based on the assumptions even there...lets say the ideal cases...
you know when we see our image in the mirror its also certain nano seconds old...!!!
we normally don't apply the reasonin approach in our day to day life..do we..??
before reading any law did we ask why its been mentioned like this...how it was derived...do we perform everything ourself before believing anythin or makin us of it..????
