Episode Synopsis "Science or Metaphysics - Have you decided?"

The struggle between science and metaphysics is quite common in educated Hindus. Western-oriented-and-educated Hindus have an irrational and blind belief in science. They hold anything remotely associated with history and dharma to a different level of scrutiny. It is a fundamentally flawed approach for many reasons. Dharma based literature is quite rich, over many millennia, with first-hand narratives of yogis and swamis who have elaborated on the "truths' and have also encouraged everyone to go on the experiential journey themselves. Why do we choose to believe science which we have not "done/seen" ourselves, but scoff at the wisdom of the seers, which we are not willing to experiment with?There is no rational basis for concluding that a scientific explanation of reality is superior to a metaphysical conception of reality. Stop undermining dharmic scholarship just because Science hasn't reached there or hasn't found a way to "prove" the theory.
