1. Summary
To
summarize our discussions so far, religion was devised by learned sages of
the past as a set of rules for good and hygienic behaviour for the ignorant
masses. The present day religion is in a highly distorted form as the
teachings got transmitted from generations to generations.

After the Industrial
and Information Revolutions, it is the turn of the Spiritual
Revolution. There will be methods available for instant spirituality
or "spirituality-in-two-minutes"

The
concept of God too was devised by some 'enlightened' men as a first toddler
step towards spirituality. Religion and the concept of God, though having
independent origin, got so much inter-related and inter dependent that the
two together now form the common man's psychotherapeutic tool to
spirituality. The method, however, is good for initiation into spirituality
and needs to be set aside for taking further advanced steps into
spirituality. Spirituality is the goal, religion as commonly practised is
only a method, that too a primitive, outdated and distorted method.
I
am confident that the spiritual phenomena will be explained in future, not
necessarily by physical science and mathematics, but perhaps by new fields
of study which I have called spiritual science and mentomatics.
Spiritual science will develop advanced 'mentomatical’ explanations for
the spiritual phenomenon and will provide easy tools for the common man to
attain spirituality. There will be methods available for
"spirituality-in-two-minutes" or instant spirituality. Sounds
stupid? So would thoughts of television and aircraft sound stupid to an ape
man. And we are no more than ape men in the realm of spiritual world. I
believe that after the information revolution, it is the turn of spiritual
revolution.
Religion and religious books will be available in museums as antiques.
Religion and religious methods will be remembered as the "bullock-cart
methods to reach spirituality", as man would have developed jet age
methods to do so. With eyes of disbelief, man will look back to see how
religion had closed his mind and led him to hatred and killing.
People will
learn how foolish it was to believe that there were different Gods,
different religions and beliefs. Today we laugh at the old ways through
which man had explained the physical phenomena with imaginary stories (e.g.
according to an old belief, lunar eclipse occurs because demons bite into
the moon!). Man will laugh at his religious folly when the spiritual science
is developed and spiritual phenomena of the universe explained.
