Is science superior to spirituality? This is the question that has been arising in me since time unknown.And ,to find it's answer I met many people starting from scientists to saints.But, they didn't give me a satisfactory answer, they all gave different theories and opinions on the subject.
Then, one day all of a sudden I planned a tour to Puri, in Odisha .I don't remember how and why I planned that tour but that gave me an immense pleasure and peace of mind. After darshanam ,when I was coming out of the holy place ,an idea of visiting a 'Math' , a place where saints live struck me.It was the Math of Adi Guru Sankaracharya.I without wasting a second moved towards the same which was not far away from the temple .
The day was Guru Purnima and Sankaracharya disciples were present in the hall surrounding Him.Like others, I also sat on the floor to hear His speech relating to God.
When His speech ended I stepped towards another saint who was also present in the hall. He was old enough and held a holy book .To him , I asked the same question .The soft hearted saint after a short pause ,gently answered the question whose answer I had been looking for a long time.He said ", Dear child, science and spirituality never meet each other ."He again added ", See my son, the point at which science ends is the beginning of spirituality.Science calls the undefined point , infinity and spirituality defines the infinity. So, spirituality hold a high rank than science." With folded hand I thanked him and left the place.
