AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada,  “Religion without philosophy is sentiment and philosophy without religion is speculation. “

One thing to note is that religion with philosophy should bring one to the point after sufficient learning and understanding to express feelings for God . According to the development of the devotees, their feelings intensify and become more and more personal , so much so that they become intimately associated with Krishna’s close associates .Therefore , Krishna says one who says he or she is My devotee is not my devotee , but one who says they are a devotee of My devotee is truely My devotee.

Philosophy without religion can never explain consciousness .  The symptoms of the soul are consciousness . That every living thing has a soul,  but in temporarily situated bodies , and reincarnated is an obvious self-evident truth to a person with simple introductory spiritual knowledge

Albert Einstein said, ” that religion without science is blind and science without religion is lame.”

Here, we see that the true sciences of self realisation must be understood as well as the all pervasive universal form of Divinity . The Self-evident truth of consciousness being present everywhere and beyond  speculative scientific materialism or dreams of neurons firing as the full explanation of consciousness , is  only ever realised when one surrenders to theological sciences . Spiritual dualism explains every aspect of science, even why a particular particle of consciousness finds itself in a particular body .

The Vedas answers all questions with logic and rational explanation. Unlike scientific materialism and Darwinian hypothesis.
