Radhanath Swami’s Article on Experiencing Spirituality

Theory without experience and realization is useless. I was speaking recently to a prestigious man having two PhDs from Cornell University.He said that the difference between material science and spiritual science is this: In material sciences the best that anyone ever comes up with is some intellectual proof of a theory. But no experience of this truth beyond intellectualization. Just like we can prove that if we mix hydrogen with oxygen in different parts we get water. But until we drink that water what is the use? An intellectual understanding is not enough; we have to drink it. Where as in spiritual science you can have direct perception and experience at all times.

By experiencing and realizing the truths within us and God within us, and sharing that with the world and finding joy in that, we can make a true and glorious contribution to the society. Let us build the foundation of our career on truth—the spiritual science of purification of our consciousness and the awareness of our relationship with God.
