00:00Professor Stephen Hawking in his book, The Grand Design, claims that in the modern times, philosophy is dead.
00:06All the questions about life, about the nature or our existence are better answered by science.
00:12What is your view on this?
00:14Science does not even take up spiritual questions.
00:17Let's say we have a simple pendulum here.
00:19What's the time period of that pendulum?
00:212 pi root l by g, right?
00:23Now, we have the lady here.
00:24What's the time period to her?
00:272 pi root l by g.
00:28We have elderly profs here.
00:32We might have a few freshers here.
00:34What's the time period to anybody here?
00:372 pi root l by g.
00:39Does science even bother about who you are?
00:44But what will you spend your life with?
00:46The pendulum or yourself?
00:49Or if I keep telling you root l by j, root l by g, root l by g, you'll find
00:54contentment.
00:54Science says to hell with whether you are happy or sad.
00:59I do not want to know what is happiness, what is sadness.
01:01What exactly is the mind thirsty for?
01:04Science says, no, no, I cannot go into those questions.
01:07Science looks only at the pendulum in front.
01:11Spirituality looks as both.
01:13The sight and the seer.
01:14The pendulum is the sight.
01:18You are the seer.
01:20The primary concern of spirituality is the seer.
01:25Because it is the seer who is in the throes of suffering.
01:30And the purpose of spirituality is to liberate you of your suffering.
01:34The pendulum does not suffer.
01:36You suffer.
01:37And if you are suffering, what will you do with 2 pi root l by g?
01:42That's what spirituality concerns itself with.
01:45The state of the seer.
01:47Consciousness.
01:49Consciousness.
01:49Consciousness.
01:51Consciousness.
01:52You
