Place where there is a plane is far away from nature -Sita

Because that line made me thinking, thinking in such a way I never thought. And understood what she said is so true. Yes our technology has enabled us to fly. We have circumvent the laws of physics for beating time and space. And we continue to find new methods, new devices which can beat time and space in the physical realm. And our days become faster, night doesnt seem to exist and years pass away as if it is a second. And we gloat in this advancement, this feat of beating the nature. We the modern man looks with utter lack of disrespect anything old, anything ancient. Our treatment towards our epics Ramayana and Mahabharatha is a testimony to this gloating of knowledge which is actually limited to physical science. 

And in this eagerness to beat time and space are we realizing we are now far away from nature. We simply dont understand ourselves. Our real wants. It takes us seconds to dial a mobile number and speak to someone who is across seas. What about listening to our inner voice. Do we even realize such a voice exists. Our conscience which whispers, which directs. Do we have the time to listen to it. 

We reach places across the seas in matter of hours. How much time does it take us to meet our next door neighbour. Do we even know the name of our neighbour. TV brings us news from across the world. Do we know what is happening in the next street or for that matter what our kids are upto. Do we understand them. 

And to this man who gloat in the advancement of physical science nature occasionally shows what human race actually is. The recent Chennai floods being the classic example. The so called technology came to no use when mobile phones refused to work, when people had money but ATMs were not working. There was no power. Aerodrome and railway stations remained closed for about a week and the so called metro city came to a virtual standstill when nature decided to have its way. Man stood humbled. 

So is technology bad. No because of technology we are able to communicate like this. But the fact is we should not be slaves to technology, make technology our slave. Give order to technology, dont take order from technology. Use physical science inline with the inner science or spiritual laws to make it more meaningful. 

Instead of flaunting the next gen mobile phone or the latest branded watch to stand apart, do actions from the heart that reaches the hearts of the masses and become truly different. 

We need both science and religion. Without expanding the inner space if only outer space is expanded we become handicapped. 

Without rationalizing the reason behind rituals and actions we become fanatics

Incorrect appplication of science gives Hiroshima and Nagasakhi. Incorrect application of religion I dont have to tell what it is capable of. We have enough examples in India for that.And science in the hands of such fanatics becomes even more destructive. 

@Suganya Chennai flood I can also connect to. Because being a Keralite I have quite a number of friends there. Also it is a city I have visited multiple times. So to see the destruction of that city in such a massive scale becomes quite personal.

@Meena if we give our inner space a chance it can work wonders and give us more peace. Only if we are willing. 

@Mano: Thank u. Which one u liked Einstein or our Chennai floods?😉
