most hindu youngsters feel that their religion is the weakest thing in their background
in their inheritance they have many you know some are saying no way but many feel that religion is
somehow their religion is so weird with all these elephant-head gods and so many gods and with weird
arms and legs and cracking coconuts and i said oh it's a weird enterprise and when they want
to discuss religion or philosophy in the school in the college in the university or at the place
of work hopefully later on you'll find work all of you in the present financial trouble we don't know
but you see you feel that maybe religion is the weakness in your background i'm telling
you i'll come across so many students who struggle they don't discuss philosophy
they run away from it it's no you know mostly gujarati they want to know how do we make money
just forget rest forget it this is the religion of gujarat i know our mind is on that spirit can wait
where do we get so you see we are struggling but in this particular state if suddenly what appears
as a weakness in your background suddenly becomes the most strongest thing you possess a real
inheritance dramatic inheritance that makes you relate to the sign you know why it's so important
at the moment one of the biggest problems the world faces is how do you relate a religious
world view with your god and all that creating the world and the science-oriented rational worldview
because they sit aside they don't you are not allowed to they are not allowed to interact
they ship different universes schizophrenic world and we are allowed to sit like that do you know
why because one of them one of them one of the most popular philosophers victon stein has left
his legacy this is a self-contained worldview which is called the science value this another
self-contained worldview with his own truth claims called the religious world we let them be they say
no how can you let them be schizophrenic so when you go to your your churches or your temples you
switch off science and say oh lord where are you where are you and you crack coconuts and when
you come out of the church you come out of the church you don't crack coconuts you have problems
when you come out of the temple you go into your science laboratory says religion just
focus on rationality we go from one hypothesis to another hypothesis this is science we love it
so you forget about all this good thing you live in a schizophrenic world
and this need to reconcile a religious worldview with a science-oriented value is very necessary
in this century it will happen you know how it will happen either science is going to win and
snuff out religions say you are you are not the solution of mankind you are the problem you create
terrorism we snuff you out this is a really real challenge so either that will happen or
this newer deeper understanding which brings these two major enterprises that have helped
mankind for thousands of years come together in a dramatic manner getting revived and refreshed
about religion from the findings of modern science at one talk i said this was at eaton college
i told them if you thought that it is really the prophets of the past that will revive your
love and interest for religion my friends you are mistaken is not the prophets of the past but the
science of today that will make you feel charged about religion and spirituality in a much more
wider much more broader much more deeper manner than ever before lots of people will be drawn to
spirituality not using the prophets of the past but the science of today and they uploaded very
warmly and this is what modern youth is looking for they are they're trying to make sense of
spirituality in a non-religious guy they're fed up with god now it comes with too much baggage
you know goat comes with baggage if there's goat then why there is suffering and all these problems
and he says oh no it's like that he's not like what something is wrong with this this particular
approach in spirituality a theistic approach is under under attack and this non-theistic approach
looking at the nature of reality digging deeper and discovering something known
material at the heart of reality it charges up everybody when i tell somebody
do you believe in god listen no i tell him do you believe in yourself and they go yeah i said
caught you that's where spiritually sits it is your innermost nature discover who you truly are
the thing that is looking out through your eyes this consciousness just focus on that that is
where your god sets that is your essential nature this is the modern way for spirituality to evolve
it is not the god of the past but the god that sits in us and becomes visible through our eyes
we need to refocus on that discover spirituality that close to us as our essential being
and this is where the modern youth find find the ideas of hinduism very thrilling
nobody has told them stuff like that before that you know when you like music or science you are
no less spiritual than a person who takes his name against religion you are equally spiritual you are
trying to rediscover spirituality in a mode that fits your own your own makeup you like science you
like this go for it my friend you will invite you will invoke spiritual in your life through
this focused discipline we go for it i think i should finish with that thank you very much you
