46: “Scientific knowledge is the highest attainment upon the human plane,…” |
|
Scientific knowledge is the highest attainment upon the human plane,
for science is the discoverer of realities. It is of two kinds: material
and spiritual. Material science is the investigation of natural phenomena;
divine science is the discovery and realization of spiritual verities. The
16
world of humanity must acquire both. A bird has two wings; it cannot fly
with one. Material and spiritual science are the two wings of human uplift
and attainment. Both are necessary—one the natural, the other supernatural;
one material, the other divine. By the divine we mean the discovery of the
mysteries of God, the comprehension of spiritual realities, the wisdom of
God, inner significances of the heavenly religions and foundation of the law.
