Science is an universal truth :
- Jagdish Kabre.
★ Growth of the science is not to be judged only on the basis of development of technology and production. That is of course very important aspect of science but more important is that "science means development of a scientific approach, a scientific outlook. It is a method. It is an instrument for knowing truth, hidden truths of nature, society and thoughts. In course of millions of years of struggle man found an instrument, science, to know the material world and its reality. And that method is a systematic analysis of anything on the basis of observation, experimentation and verification.
Firstly, science does not accept anything to be true unless it is experimented and verified in a scientific way.
Secondly , it believes that this material world is governed by objective laws, means laws do not exist because of man's likes or dislikes.
Thirdly, it believes that these objective laws can be known only by following this process of analysis, observation, experimentation and verification and by no other means.
Believers blindly believe in the sayings or predictions of great men. But however great a man can be , he cannot find truth simply by meditation or 'heavenly power'. All branches of science have shown that there exists nothing beyond nature, everything is part of nature or natural. They read these things in books academically but do not believe in them. Their truth lies in blind belief and faith. Blindness brings fanaticism and regimentation of thought. The more the blindness, the more the fanaticism, and that lays the solid foundation for the growth of fascism and not democracy. You should never forget that blindness is the enemy of science and so of man. Real science throws light on material world, reveals its hidden laws and thus shows the path, while blind faith throws light on our eyes that makes dark future still darker and obstructs our progress.
Science tells the truth. Science shows that everything changes and changes from quantity to quality, from lower to the higher. From simple to complex. You should always keep in mind that in this material world nothing is permanent, nothing is absolute, nothing is all perfect. All branches of science have proved beyond doubt that nature is infinite and will go on changing and developing infinitely. Nothing can exist beyond nature, nothing is therefore supernatural. Again this material world is governed by objective laws. This material world existed and will go on existing independently of human consciousness. Even when man was not born, nature existed and was governed by objective laws. Man tried to know this material world from the very beginning, even when he was in primitive society and his thinking was also primitive.
You should never forget that only truth can give peace and solace of mind and establish justice in this society.To know the truth and to develop the correct approach to the world, science and scientific outlook are required.
Without truth you cannot advance the society, you cannot create a new civilization out of the old. Truth is essential for the change of society, change of man and change of civilization. Science alone can give correct understanding of life, because it tells only the truth. Without truth you cannot have a greater understanding of life.
Man so also animal fight for life against nature. But the difference between the two is basically that in course of struggle animal can per chance survive, otherwise perish. They are victims of natural laws. But man because of his power of thinking not only survived but has been conquering nature increasingly. This is not because man can change objective laws. Objective laws of nature, society and thought neither can be created far less can be destroyed. Then how does man change the material world? This is because with the help of science, man has come to know that laws of nature or society work under favourable conditions. Man has known that laws cannot operate under unfavourable conditions. So, man can create favourable conditions in which life grows, society advances. So also can create unfavourable conditions for those laws which harm the society. Thus man could create present civilization and will be creating still higher conditions of life with the help of science. Those who do not understand this objective process of development of life and society, they are to know it. But those who oppose this concept virtually obstruct the growth of life and hence are enemies of mankind.
