SEARCH FOR THE SUPREME BEING p. 284

Dr. Jayant Vishnu Narlikar is a world-renowned astrophysicist from India. He was born in 1938. In an interview, he was asked about his views on “religious illusions” and how they compare to scientific beliefs held by other people. Dr. Narlikar responded: p. 284other source

“I find this matter extremely distasteful. Many scientists adopt a scientific perspective when working in their laboratories. However, they do not apply the scientific method when they go home. For example, many highly educated individuals in the West believe in astrology. This is a psychological issue. Human nature desires to seek immediate and easy comfort. It is, in fact, a mental crutch.” (The Times of India, April 30, 1979) p. 284

Every person is repeatedly faced with such occasions when he experiences helplessness. He feels that he is a powerless being. This feeling leads him to search for someone superior to him who can compensate for his limitations. When some highly educated people in the West, for whom all doors of material opportunity are open, take the support of metaphysical beliefs in search of peace of mind, this is not some crazy aberration. It reflects a deep inner quest, although they often get entangled in various superstitious beliefs and practices when they do not find the correct answer to this search. p. 284

The One Creator, God Almighty, is the only right destination for such a quest. p. 284
