Francis Bacon
who gave to modem science the method of experimentation and inductive reasoning wrote
(1612) in one of his essays:
"I had rather believe all the fables (collected in books) than that this universal
frame is without a Mind. They that deny a God destroy a man’s nobility. For certainly
man is of kin to the beasts by his body; and if he be not of kin to God by his spirit, he
is a base and ignoble creature. It destroys the incentive to the raising of human
nature."Just as Vedanta appears to have
anticipated science and prepared the ground for meeting the contradictions that were to
appear between science and religion, so also the code of conduct and the spiritual values
that were developed by Hindu seers on the basis of Vedantic philosophy seem to have fully
anticipated the socio-economic problems that civilization has had subsequently to face.
The profit-motive and the civic right of private competition were definitely askedto
stand back in favour of a rule that everyone should work for social welfare, as
clearly set out in the Bhagavad Gita. |
