Science and spirituality have been two pillars of the human race
right from the very beginning. The man who invented agriculture and fire was no
less a scientist than the Nobel laureates of modern times. And the joy of being
able to feed the whole tribe through agriculture must have been no less
spiritual an experience. Science and spirituality have a lot in common, but it
is also important to respect their differences since both have their own unique
features. Science and spirituality are like two sisters who may have very similar genes but have very different personalities. Science may have largely captured the human imagination over the last
few decades, but there are aspects of the human condition outside of the
purview of science and these aspects are no less important than science itself.
Spirituality is one such aspect. Let us try to understand the similarities and differences
between science and spirituality.
