CONCLUSION |
|
|
| The call of
ultimate reality heard in the recesses of noble hearts is by itself something which has
led earnest seekers into the transcendental. Those who have drunk deep of the awe and
beauty of the universe and to whom the lofty achieve- ments of science have revealed
extended horizons and as yet undiscovered realms of enchantment cannot find
satisfaction in shallow faiths and crude anthropomor- phism. The mysticism involved in
Vedanta relates the good life to truth and science. The conflict between religion and
science is replaced and healed by harmony and integrated thought. To go back to what we started with, religions that contradict the
conclusions of science cannot but degenerate into formalism and hypocrisy. And if human
happiness depends on doing away with indifference, and economic re-organization is to be
based on the stable foundation of widespread moral faith and culture and if the compulsion
of the State is to be supported by the willing cooperation of men and women, Vedanta
has contribution to make to enduring civilization. Vedanta offers a religious faith that
can have no quarrel with the scientists who work in the laboratory or with the geologists
who do research in the history of the physical world, and yet it offers’ a firm
spiritual foundation for the just polity of a new world. |
