Spiritual life and experience eludes ordinary understanding or so it seems. Senses fail to fathom spiritual truths. Science seems to be at loggerheads with spirituality is there any meeting ground? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCan spiritual truths be investigated by a scientific mind using scientific techniques? Why do people take to spiritual life? Is there any scientific truth behind supra-normal experiences? These and other questions have been explored in this book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBusy readers would naturally ask – why of all the subjects should  we be discussing religious beliefs and practices in this age of advanced technology when we have already mastered the intricacies of our body and mind and the details of Nature and its works. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat relevance could religion have in the modern world when half its people do not care about religion or God, when one nation after the other vouchsafes secularism as its official policy? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen so-called religious beliefs and practices have mostly been a matter of controversy, a controversy that is on the increase? The answer to these questions lies in the fact that, a large section of the human race follows some kind of religion even if it is considered a private matter for the individual.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCOMMENTS:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e‘If I cannot think of God, He does not exist [for me].’\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e‘To advance we must have faith in ourselves first and then in God.’\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e‘If you Have faith in all the three hundred and thirty millions of your mythological gods, and still have no faith in yourselves, there is no salvation for you.’\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e‘Each soul is potentially divine.\u003cbr\u003eThe goal is to manifest this Divinity within by controlling nature, external and internal.\u003cbr\u003eDo this either by work, or worship, or psychic control, or philosophy, -by one, or more, or all of these-and be free.\u003cbr\u003eThis is the whole of religion. Doctrines, or dogmas, or rituals, or books, or temples, or forms, are but secondary details.’\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e‘Religion is realization; not talk, nor doctrine, nor theories, however beautiful they may be. It is being becoming, not hearing or acknowledging; it is the soul becoming changed into what it believes. That is religion.’\u003cbr\u003e = Swami Vivekananda\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e‘Are you and growing spiritually? Can you love others? Can you feel oneness with others? Have you peace within yourself and do you radiate it around you?
