SCIENCE TODAY IS FOR SPIRITUALITY OF TOMORROW

We have listened to the famous quote called “The science of today is the technology of tomorrow.” told by Edward Teller. Now the time has come to think twice about this statement.

- Prof. N. S. Kottearachchi

Science, for sure, is a good thing; we do need to learn science as much as possible. Even Gautama Buddha knew science probably, 100% of the science of nature. We don’t know even a decimal point percentage as that of the Buddha and ignorance of science is the reason for all troubles that we created in our livelihood. But what about the technology? We indeed use science to develop the technology. Why do we develop or use technology? If we analyze all the reasons why we use technology, we might see that we use them, because we have desires to live comfortably, or get long life, or earn money or get high yield or get delicious tastes, etc or if not if we have hatred feeling, we use the technology for destructions or creating negative things.

We use technology mostly for passionate or repulsive feelings. That is the point that problems create. So, though science is good, we have to think scientifically very well when accepting technology, because technology has pluses and minuses. As we don’t know the science behind either becoming too passionate or becoming too much repulsive, we continuously produce mutated energy by producing lustful and hatred feelings where there may a reverse impact on us and nature.
