SCIENTIFIC TEMPER-SWAMI VIVEKANANDA WAY

Dr T G K Murty

The term, a “scientific temper” is a wonderful succinct .

•Who would be able to think independently, understand and practice the scientific method with spirituality in their daily lives, analyze and not take statements at their face value, and avoid simplistic reasoning.• Of course, it has been easier said than done to create that atmosphere in a nation where superstition, dogmatism, rumor, myth and innumerable beliefs abound.

Believe nothing/ everything

Merely because you have been told it

Or because it is traditional'

Or because you yourself have imagined it

or believe what your teacher(spiritual otherwise) tell, merely out of respect for that teacher

But whatever after due examination and analysis

you find to be conducive to the good, the benefit, the welfare of all beings, that doctrine believe and cling to, and take it as your guide.
