00:00For a scientific student, how should they approach spirituality?

00:04Science means I know this world more meticulously now.

00:09Which means I can use these resources towards the appeasement of my desire in a more intense

00:15way.

00:16It's like a monkey now having access to the nuke button.

00:21I remain that same primordial thing within, but externally I have gained a lot of power.

00:26So as science progresses, it becomes all the more important, rather mandatory, that spirituality

00:35should progress in equal proportion.

00:38Science without spirituality is disastrous.

00:41And that's what is happening on this planet today.

00:43What else is this entire specter of climate change?

00:46All science will become not only useless, but actively harmful if there is absence of

00:53self-knowledge.
