Oh! I enjoy each of these wondrous inventions of modern science, all the cell phones, and internet, and i-pods that have brought us closer in time, space dimension. My hats off to all the scientists who are working night and day to bring the next techno-marvel that will put the generations in AWE! We humans are gifted with the most sophisticated subtlety of intellect and mind and no wonder we are flooding the world with the next best gen x model. It is so much fun!
But mind you, you can enjoy every gift of science provided you are first anchored in your Spirit within, through meditation and silence. It is not just science, even with money, my answer is the same. Nothing per se is wrong, it is how we use it, that makes the difference. Are we getting subservient to the gadgets? Are we getting slavish with money. If yes, we are in trouble.
Nature offers us hundreds of options, just as She manifests in trillions of forms and colors, showing Her infinite creativity. We are here to have the Grace of Nature to the extent that we are not gripped by pride and greed.
My only suggestion is always follow the path of moderation. Use everything as long as you are not used by the gadgets. Insanity is the tendency to abuse and misuse, as long as you use and respect the gifts, it is never a harm either to the user or the others.
I follow a daily routine, respecting the Time, and always go by priorities. I don't rush and don't allow anyone to know that they can use me. I respect every one, but i always remember my time and my priorities and my discipline in life. I don't want to do things that i don't want to do and then put the blame on others saying that others are forcing me to do it.
This gives me enough time to enjoy each of these gifts of the Modern Science including its researches on how Science is coming closer and closer to the Science that Sages of India discovered in their inner Spirit or how the Objective Science is being reconciled with the Subjective world of Spirit.
Just understand what you want to achieve in life and don't rush. One at a time, relax, pause and let the power of the distilled mind manifest the material realities. You will be happy, you will not feel that these gadgets are causing any harm to anyone.
As long as you are worshiping your sanity of friendly mind, you are fine, the insane world will not distract you even with its repetitive invitations. This is my experience i am sharing with you.
Love and gratitude to the scientists of the outer and Inner world.
Baba
