[This was a ‘Special Contributory Article’ for the Souvenir of the First World Parliament on Spirituality to be held between December 17-21, 2012 at Hyderabad.]
Modern people think that most of the funds must be spent on the development and applications of technical education, which supports the basic needs of materialistic life. Obviously, the Government also is in the same line of the people. These people criticize the ancient Governments, which have spent lot of funds on the useless spiritual education, which do not contribute anything to the material life. The modern people think that spiritual knowledge is just theoretical tautology without any practical application to the society unlike the practical subjects of science and technology. This type of conclusion is erroneous since the application of this theoretical spiritual knowledge has tremendous applications in the perfect control of the society, which is totally absent today, resulting in terrible chaos of the society.
With the help of science and technology, you have provided the extraordinary amenities in the life, which unfortunately result in environmental pollution that is likely to lead to the total end of the humanity on this earth. This also created ambition in the mind of humanity to achieve such dangerous and foolish amenities, which not only result in global destruction, but also affect adversely the individual health also. Therefore, the line of the progress in the modern education is totally negative. I agree that the ancient kings never concentrated on science and technology, but this is not a defect and instead, this should be treated as merit due to avoiding such above said negative effects. On the other hand, the concentration on the spiritual education, which you treat as defect, is a tremendous merit if you have the capacity of proper analysis and proper understanding.
The spiritual education established the faith in the unimaginable God that results in the fear for sin. No separate controlling systems like judiciary and police were needed to arrest the sin. The sin is eradicated at its birth itself and today corruption, which is an unimaginable sin, is the sole reason for the present chaos and it is not controlled by any powerful machinery since any machinery is infected by corrosion. I agree that the subject about the God is purely theoretical logic, but, its application is unbelievable! Since God is unimaginable due to lack of spatial dimensions, the subject of God has no trace of provision for experimental science and technology, which deal only with imaginable and spatial items. What is the harm if the nature of the subject is like that? In such case, why don’t you remove such theoretical subjects like literature, history, politics, economics etc., from the present education system? These subjects are valid due to their practical applications. Before the practical application of spiritual knowledge, the practical applications of the above mentioned arts subjects are almost nothing. The reason is that the application of spiritual knowledge brings self control on the sin and present chaos. For such overall important value of the application only, the ancient governments have given lot of stress on spiritual knowledge and we should decide whether they were foolish or we are foolish.
The spiritual education accommodates the normal growth of science and technology, which is the basic potentiality of employment. It resists only the undue over growth of science and technology that results in global destruction and the destruction of individual health. The spiritual knowledge by its very inherent nature controls the ambition for the unnecessary and dangerous amenities, which is responsible for this cancer of corruption. The unimaginable boundary of the Universe is a practical proof for the existence of unimaginable God. Once this basic concept is established, even the atheists fear for doing the sin following the benefit of doubt of the 50:50 probability by avoiding the risk to err on the safe side. Otherwise, in the absence of such spiritual knowledge, everybody will become atheist and the fear for the sin is limited to courts and police only, which are also almost ineffective due to the infection of corruption and also due to the present development of several clever techniques of escape.
