“One of the greatest tragedies of our time is this impression that has been created that science and spirituality have to be at war” ~ Francis Collins

Science and spirituality are the tools to seek truth and can be used to grasp the essential nature of reality.

“Many have died; you also will die. The drum of death is being beaten. The world has fallen in love with a dream. Only sayings of the wise will remain. But if a mirror ever makes you sad you should know that it does not know you.” ~ Kabir(1440 A.D.)

Spirituality is the awakening of wisdom concerning how effectively we relate to each other and the world.

“Science may set limits to knowledge, but should not set limits to imagination.” ~Bertrand Russell

Science seeks to enlighten our minds through the extrinsic properties of life, surrounding, and the Universe.

Each is necessary for the attainment of the ultimate truth.

For example — When a scientist studies a flower, a body, or a plant, the first he does is tear it apart and identify each part of its objective structure, this is science, indeed.

But to define a flower’s beauty, its fragrance, we need spirituality, and hence, to reveal the completeness of its existence, both are interdependent to each other.

Conclusion:

Therefore, Science and Spirituality are two sides of the same coin, they complete each other, and hence the love-hate relationship between each other continues.

Central Theme of the Movie:

This movie comically depicts how a religion that used to be a discipline was overshadowed, degraded, and converted into a monetary, materialistic thing, a political thing used to gather votes, etc.

It’s a nice break from the conventional Gods like them wearing a same attire, religion are ideologies by humans themselves, not ideologies made humans.

Main motive of the movie is to establish that we should not depend on anyone like saints, etc rather we should do our own research about why are we preaching a particular God.

The character that influenced me the most:

The protagonist, Kanjilal Mehta influenced me the most, he was helpful when people came to him requesting to fight for them too, he fought for what he believed in, logically.

If any tips by Krishna(Akshay Kumar) sounded logical to Kanjilal, he grasped them too as if he’s ready to learn with logic.

“Ignorance is bliss”

With proper knowledge, he crushed the claims established by fraudulent so-called “saints” in the movie.

The scene that influenced me the most:

Reading terms and conditions before signing anything is IMPORTANT

Because if we don’t do so, it could lead to self-harm in terms of financial loss or mental loss.

Another scene that influenced me where Lord Krishna showed himself in his conventional avatar at the hospital and did a discussion with Kanjilal that everyone has put him on the pedestal as a prize that they are flawless and all. But in reality, Gods are like humans who did something very amazing along with their flaws, we should treat them as friends whom we respect despite their shortcomings.

Lessons to be learned by society:

Society must not attach themselves with someone or a God or religion so much that they would even kill a living conscious being.

People should be taught how and why God should be preached not just because everyone preaches God so we should.

People should not expect or keep the saints or ‘babas’ on pedestals that they are perfect human beings with no flaws and blindly follow them.

Words of Wisdom learned:

If a person wants to believe or not believe like an atheist in something they should have the freedom to do so.

We should respect other people’s beliefs unlike Kanjilal who always disrespected people’s beliefs, if they wanted to not believe in God, he shouldn’t but he repeatedly did that and got his karma back in return.

Another lesson to be taken from this movie is that we should be happy and grateful for whatever we have.

Presently, our brain is considered the seat of our soul and repository of our memory.

But this wasn’t the case in the times of Ancient Greece, where Aristotle concluded that the heart was the center of intellect.

But, what did he think our brain’s function was?

He believed that our brain was a radiator for cooling the blood that was overheated by the processing that was done by the heart.

So, in those times a person’s rational temperament was measured by the cooling capacity of the brain, how cool was that?😳

Just like how we measure our computer’s efficiency ~if the system overheats ~ it’s not good, which may reduce its life.

On the other hand, if the system remains cool throughout heavy tasking then it’s a good one!

And that’s how we come to know the psychology of the people who come to conclusions about the IQ or the efficiency of a person by judging how calm and composed the person is in difficult situations!

Although, this theory was discarded by Galen who experimented on the view proposed by Hippocrates, which we know as the present function of our brain.

What do you think about this fact encounter? 🤔
