Death Is A Failure Of Science

Dear Hari Sir,

Science is an infant teething and learning how to walk in a universe that is so vast learning one thing at a time. This Universe is an unsolved mystery and science is still looking at the evidences trying to figure out how it happened. Even existence of life required so many conditions to remain with zero tolerance for life to be created and sustained. Everything we think, see, speak, feel, touch, and act are all temporary and perishable and so is the casings of life. We give so much importance to the gift wrapper more than the gift itself. We fail to see the love behind this gift.

I am a big fan of science and not against science but it has a long way to go. Albert Einstein and Neils Bohr tried to derive a mathmatical equation to determine how the universe was created and functioning but realized it is beyond human comprehension. Milky way galaxy and Andromeda galaxy are likely to merge in 4 billion years and this is just a prediction based on how these galaxies are moving more than determination with mathematical accuracy. That might be extinction of lives as it exists today and creation of new lives with different mass and until then life will journey through many bodies from time to time.

 

Dear Hariji! I think as long as we have the science 'eye' we can't avoid death. It deals with matter always and matter is such, we all know, that it is subject to change and destruction.

I often visit an old age home nearby where most of the inmates are beyond 80 with frail health. The first question they ask is when will death release them from their sufferings. And less said about the suicide prone the better.[/QUOTE]

It is sad that they feel that way wherein life itself has become a burden. Our vedic scriptures speak of 'no birth and death' too. Now Though science is necessary, even vital for our practical existence it doesn't answer something beyond our ordinary perception. At present science is to researching about consciousness after the origin of the universe, still, yet to come to any conclusion. Unlike the scriptures , pronouncing propagating , upholding. the one and the same truth till now, that is, I am the one truth and I dont have birth and death. It has a twist but the same scriptures provide the means also understand and assimilate it. Till we stumble upon that we have suffering.

 

My connection with science is as distant as the light years in the galaxy.. but I have been curious to read about the experiments & research that goes into the origin of universe and the consciousness theory etc of science. Waiting still to find, since the subsequent theories improve upon or negate the previous ones. Is there any conclusion ?

 

There is no point in prolonging life by artificial means and in the process suffer a poor quality of life. Most of the seniors including yours faithfully are not scared of death but the question haunting them is how. Recently my Doctor told me that 4 seniors who are 80+ are bed ridden for the last three years. Mr,Giri,living in our block who is senior to me by three months is wheel chair bound for 3 years ,suffers from Parkinson and Dementia.He has to be fed and he could not recognise me. Is this life worth living?. People are scared of fixing marriages as they have to call them off at great cost in case something happens to him. To be blunt they are waiting for his peaceful exit .God is guilty of procrastrination. It looks as if the issue is under discussion before the Joint Parlimentary Commitee on entry and exit.
