Albert Einstein said that religion without science is blind and science without religion is lame
Isaac Newton , when praised , said that he had collected a few pebbles of knowledge from the unlimited pebbles from the unlimited beaches of knowledge.
In the Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 13, Verses 8-12), Lord Krishna defines knowledge by outlining twenty essential virtues required for spiritual wisdom. He begins this list with amanitvam—humility or pridelessness—indicating that recognizing our own limitations is the necessary foundation for true learning . Understanding absolute truth entails acceptance of the good , the great , and the trancendental . Recognition and faith carry one a long way . It is an essential asset to acquire , along with applying oneself to the philosophy of science . Realised self-evident objective truth defines spiritual dualism.
The remaining qualities paired with humility in Krishna’s definition of knowledge include:
- Freedom from hypocrisy
- Non-violence and tolerance
- Simplicity and purity of mind
- Service to a spiritual master
- Self-control and absence of false ego
- Detachment from material attachments
- Constant devotion to the Supreme
By starting with humility, Krishna teaches that arrogance and false ego act as barriers to wisdom. Acknowledging that there is always more to learn opens the mind to receive higher truths.
Truth becomes self-evident to those who are genuinely seeking truth , the disingenuous can never recognise it , but when they finally become humble, they can enter into understanding of something of the unlimited absolute truth .
Krishna says that after many, many births, one is seeking truth in ways that try to circumvent Divinity and will finally surrender to him .The Supreme Personality of Godhead is the absolute truth, and all relative truths springs from Him , He is the cause of all causes, including illusions that cover truth.
