What is one of the most important truth that has managed to be underground for a long time?

[Saravanan]

All my life, I have be running. Running towards what? I didn't know. But I knew what I was running away from - the chaos that we call as society.

It was overwhelming and bewildering growing up. I was slowly drowning in the ocean of contradictions that I faced each day when interacting with people around me. What is this madness all about?

I noticed two parallel existence. The earth - which holds multitude of life forms with astounding complexity and breathtaking beauty. The world - which was an overlay upon this earth by the dominance, capability and intelligence of just one species - The human being. Years of confusion and frustration culminated into a irrepressible desire to seek the very core of my existence. And this, I realized is one of the most important truth that has remained underground for a really long time.

I have managed to pen down my thoughts into a book Spirituality - A Working Scientific Hypothesis For Our Lives .

Human being is one of the most complicated life form I have ever known. It is a being which can sacrifice its own life to protect another, but also at the same time can sacrifice another life for its own pleasure. While a majority of the population struggles through every day to fulfill basic needs like food, shelter and security, we have on the contrary some who display amazing acts of creation like music, dance, scientific innovation, paradigm shifting philosophical ideas, etc. which appears as a different dimension of living. Creativity is used for inspiring, transforming and empowering fellow humans & also at the same time, to create weapons of mass destruction. No other life forms I have noticed have ever exhibited such a level of contradiction. It is so baffling, and has always made me wonder, what is all this about? Who am I? What is life? What am I doing here? Is there a purpose to my existence?

All of us have encountered these questions during some point in our lives. And yet very few of us pursue the answers. Through this book, I am going to share with you the reason why these questions became so important in my life, how did I set out to find the answers, how it has transformed my life and why it is important for you to seek answers to these questions.

Science is an expression of the basic longing that a human being has to know and explore everything. Today we use scientific methodology to explore the world around us, and this has enabled and empowered us immensely in understanding many things and effectively uses them to make our lives more comfortable and convenient. But, when it comes to understanding the nature of life and of ourselves, we fail to employ a scientific methodology. Either people simply never pay any attention to this important aspect or usually they tend to have preconceived notions inherited from our family, society and the culture around us. Faith, religion, spirituality, etc are words usually associated to these preconceived notions and hasty conclusions about life.

Because of science’s unfortunate history in the hands of religion not so long ago and the very foundations of science was to release the intellectuals from the dogmas of religion, there is still a sense of dichotomy when we hear words like science and spirituality.

When we refer to something as scientific, we imply an active involvement of intelligence, exploration and reasoning. And what prevents us from using the same to answer these questions? What if we could use the same precision and clarity of scientific methodology to understand and explore ourselves?

Combining the facts from our modern sciences about the nature of our world, and by examining the nature of human beings, this book presents Spirituality as a working scientific hypothesis which brings into light the phenomenal complexity, intelligence and beauty of the process we call as life, and enable you to see the world and to see yourself from a new perspective, realizing the true nature and the immense potential of being a human.
