Question: I read that research is going on to create artificial life. Artificial Reproductive techniques like, test tube babies, Surrogate motherhood, cloaning are evolving gradually. Is it technology abuse? Shall we be alarmed? I believe without God’s permission nothing will happen. Are all these His play?
What is the relationship between and among body, mind, intelect and Soul? As the requirements of these are different, if we practise enrichment of one are we starving others? Is it possible only Intelect can take us towards liberation? Or, which of them are closely related among mind, intelect and Self?
Answer: You yourself have given the answer to the question. Everything is the God’s play. If God wants man also to create, all these things will happen.
Intellect can never take to liberation. Where intellect stops, there realisation starts. Intellect will help you only to know what you should realise. This Vedanta calls it as indirect knowledge. Direct knowledge comes from experience. You can get the theoretical knowledge of sugar by reading books, but the experience comes only when you put the sugar into mouth.
