Nothing can be
advocated with axiomatic certitude as the ultimate or all perfect truth. Nor
can we deny or defy the importance of anything.
But within the limited
knowledge and frames of references that human brain can process with all its
limitations, I think we must go in for more rational, scientific ( empirically
proven not statistically justified) means and at the same time
ensuring lesser harm to human beings as well as the environment.
Every realm starts
with some assumptions, premises, hypothesis, imaginations, impulse, remote
conjectures, available material etc all of which are hovering in the realm of
vague exploration -the territory of pleasant curiosity, but when through
experiments and application if something matures into proof, then, after that
one has to respect it, at least till something else or something new proves it
to be wrong or something else is found to be better ( like graduation of
magnifying glass into microscope).
We fail to acknowledge
the real merits and immense benefits of science, more importantly at least its
utility and impact, even if we fail to treat it with reverence.
For example, now the
only thing that makes human survival lively is electricity and all the
technology that operates, thanks to electricity.
Similarly, all of a
sudden there are too many messages on Gurukulam.
If Gurukulam were to
continue, what would happen to mass literacy?
Just because something
is greater in number or some place has greater crowd that does not confer any
greatness or even empower anything or anyone effectively, now cannot even stop
the spread of Corona.
We must give up
extreme pessimism, irrelevant comparisons
