Age of the Universe - Can you guess? Even Science seems to go way off mark

(Part I... Inspired by Sea Gypsy) Just as God in Christianity is the Supreme Being, the be-all and end-all of all things manifest or unmanifest, so is Hindu God conceived to be three plenary expansions of the same Energy of the Supreme Being, only the roles each assume are different.

It is easier to make a good man wise than to make a bad man good

Fielding's Tom Jones is the story of a foundling whom Nature has endowed with physical beauty and happy vitality. But the young Tom did not always act rightly, so that he seems to be something like an unheroic hero. He acts on impulse, sometimes well, sometimes ill, and he lacks a settled kind of...

Belief is not Truth and Truth is Never a Belief

Logic is always bound by discursive thought, and therefore people of logic or syllogism can never believe that there exists the illogical. Not that it is illogical, only you don't have logic yet, to prove or to disprove. The priests, the mahatmas, the maulanas, the rabbis, and the so-called saints... Sign in to see full entry.

Time, Looking through the Looking Glass

It is the austere language of a diffident man, Hardy, marked with stoical fortitude, patient and uncomplaining, that his poem, “I Look into My Glass”, has an indelibly immediate appeal on the readers’ mind, in his teaching man to face up to Time unflinchingly. Time, with its power, brings... Sign in to see full entry.

The Prominence of Christian Elements in Beckett’s ‘Waiting for Godot’.

Religion appears to be the motive force behind Beckett’s Waiting for Godot. Indeed, much of its dialogue, spectacle and images reflect traditional Christian values. The play repeatedly tells us that the two characters, Estragon and Vladimir are made in God’s image, and they have the effrontery to... Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog

Embarking on a journey in spiritual quest is fraught with the dangers of doubt, tension and anxiety, disbeliefs, misgivings, and a whole lot of uncertainties. Still, it is that one most integral aspect of life that humankind can rarely ignore or do without. Scientific minds are at loggerheads with what constitute religious truths; likewise, there are close-minded believers that give no credence to scientific facts. What I intend and invite you to discuss here is an intelligent amalgamation of the two seemingly diabolically opposite understandings: whether there exists an interrelationship that can help man to evolve and bloom like the perennial lily?
