Power of Mind and Man : Anthropological / Spiritual View
Man’s progress in socio-cultural ways of living; Science and Technology and making path to Divinity from Humanity through religion is all due to the powerful mind ways. The Super Mind state of mind is said to be the ‘blissful state’ where the soul gets merged with the Super Soul, i.e., God. The process continues till then. Thus, the mind is the medium of perception between soul (Atma) and Super Soul (Paramatma), or whatever you call it, Spirit- Super Spirit; Energy or Super Energy.
Dead End of Science and Religion
Experiencing the nature of energy transformations into matter and life and beyond life there exists only Super Energy. In the background of science we understand life as a physical form and the religion interprets the spiritual nature of life and its existence in the physical form and its journey until merging with the God, Super Energy, which is a blissful state (Sat-Chit-Anand). That is why, it is repeatedly said that we are actually spiritual beings in physical journey and not physical beings on spiritual journey.
