Science Vs Spirituality Poem by Tushar Ray

(Subjective Vs Objective Truths)

Almighty God, creator of this universe
Made us, the humans in His true reflection
And things that we see all around us
Bear the testimony to this precise information
As assessed by our acute feeling and valued intellect;
The mightiest instruments given to us by our Creator

We know from close encounter with our universe
That the fundamentals of all creative principles are
Strong desire, dedicated feeling, intellect and power
That we possess for our investigative affair
For realizing any truth that we earnestly desire
But with ill motif however we can create a monster

An intellect guided by honesty and pure feeling
Indeed is the best guide that we can imagine
Either in a subjective or objective investigation
The end truth in both is felt as blissful satisfaction
Thus assuring us of reaching the correct destination
With clearest affirmation without any confusion

Though truth is around us both without and within
The light of self-realization is seen within
And the specific method used is called Meditation
Where the progress is gauged by reduced inner tension
That becomes blissful following the resolution
And the truth so realized is known as Subjective truth
Compared to the intellectual kind known as Objective
Or commonly known as the scientific truth
Though the former is no less scientific than the later
And with no room for speculation either

Thus Subjective study is essential to get to the end truth
While the Objective one is good only for a partial truth
For joyful living however both must be equally pursued.
