A beautiful take on this debate, my dear Shruthi.
Especially the part in bold. Which is why I wrote earlier on this thread:
The problem with Daadi is that she does not understand that nothing can be retained unchanged, for change is the one certainty in life. And there is no such thing as doing nothing (to change things), for inaction itself is a form of action, as it has definite consequences.
So, when she thinks that by avoiding all investigation of the Kund, and not provoking the Sri Santh Panth, all will be well, she could not be more wrong. Hatred and the savage desire to dominate cannot be foiled by the tactics of an ostrich.

Today your post is really remarkable Arshics especially the part you mentioned rithambhara pragya. Also sp108 has added nice addition to it. In a nutshell Mai understands people, she can hear the sound of silence, make sense out of noise. Well again according to me all qualities required for project management. Also the way she tells all the six Sanskrit words for water. That shows Mai is a learned person, she is def not what she seems to be.
Now coming to Yog and Prayog. Yes you need knowledge to take correct action. Knowledge is yog and action is prayog. BG also tells concentrate on action. But how will you take the correct action if you close the path to knowledge.Well you need not disturb nature. But unless you understand why the nature is behaving the way it is, how will you even understand whether you are disturbing it or not.Real problem between Aastha and Vigyan I have found is that. Aastha or religion wants things to be stagnant. And we all know stagnant water carries disease, if anything is stagnant it decays. Everything in nature moves. Sun rises and sets. Wind blows from one region to another, water flows, even it is proved that earth rotates, fire burns. So keeping things the way they are is not nature's way which people like dadi believe.Now coming to Vigyan. Most scientists have a habit of not respecting aastha. Many abhor rituals. Even now we see people making fun of Indian mythology. Nobody asks from where did the imagination of a rishi came more than 5000 years ago Raavan can have a pushpak vimaan. How did somebody think of building a bridge over ocean. How did a man who lived 5000 years ago told " Concentrate on action not on result" and today books like " The Secret " and " Power" are widely read while BG is given a religious colour.Our rishis told about the results of Karma. What is Karma action only. And when Newton told " Every action has an equal and opposite reaction" it is celebrated.Vedic culture, sanathana dharma knew to balance yog and prayog, they knew the importance of gyaan and vigyaan. They practiced it. If the so called scientists can respect those traditions and then drill yes the true knowledge will emerge.And because of that I am with Dr Rao as he is for balancing out both. Because science without faith obviously result in exploitation as we see from many instances now, also religion without knowledge is also exploitation. They both exploit one way or the other. One by claiming superiority and other by instilling fear.I would really love to see if the script can balance it out. MK is a show that should be watched for various reasons. Especially by youngsters I would say.
