Why
Beliefs ? What makes millions upon Flooded by the marvels of technology, why do the masses still have greater faith in the ideals of their religion and the teachings of prophets or saints than in the rational explanations of scientists and philosopher alike? Why do even distinguished scientists subscribe to faith? What then, is this paradox? Rank
atheists in youth turned religious towards the close of life. Even materialistic
political ideologies have not been able to uproot this inherent urge in
man. No psychologist has so far provided a rational explanation for this
erratic behavior of the human mind. Respect
of the esoteric doctrines of faith and the hidden truths about the Universal
Energies and Soul were talked of with bated breath. It has always been
felt instinctively that religion is a sacred subject beyond the province
of the intellect. This is not so now. The
Vedas were committed to memory and transmitted orally, generation after
generation, because there was a subconscious awareness that what they
contained was of the utmost importance for mankind. By the same intuitive
impulse theologians and scribes, preserve them from distortion for every
word and line of the gospels of all faiths. |
