00:00I'm just curious Achariji, do you have any comment about the correlation between science and religion?
00:06Look at the number of chapels you have here and this points to something very interesting.
00:13Religion as something that is searching for truth and then science and the various arts as again something that's searching
00:25for truth.
00:26Just that the direction of search is different.
00:30However, the intention is the same and that's why you find religion and science and arts who are existing in
00:41an almost ancient campus.
00:44Newton himself, if you read about him, was deeply religious and in the contemporary sense of the word.
00:53Today you would call him religious but not spiritual.
00:56So in fact he was busy a significant portion of his life working on alchemy and his philosophy was overlapping
01:04a lot with religion.
01:07For much of human history, science, philosophy and religion were not separate worlds.
01:12The same people often explored all three.
01:15But after the Renaissance and the scientific revolution, knowledge became increasingly specialized.
01:21Universities created separate disciplines.
01:24Scientists focused on measurable facts.
01:27Religious institutions focused on faith and doctrine.
01:29Over time, two great traditions that once walked together began moving in different directions.
01:36It's only in the post-Renaissance world that there is a watertight separation between religion and science and what you
01:47call as the academic sphere.
01:50So it's only then that there is separation that separation has not been healthy.
01:54That separation has not done any good to mankind.
01:58Who am I is what you can call as spirituality.
02:02Who are you is science.
02:03So when spirituality declines, so does science.
02:06I'm a champion builds in a very different intelligence and biocular sense to her Coecuzzo has traveled around with stΓ€rker.
02:09Instead of worldulating what you exclusively need to have, there are so many different things that you would not lose
02:09when it comes to immaculate.
02:09Bye.
