Scientists and Spiritual seekers are searching for the “Truth”. Scientists use gadgets to probe deep into the physical matrix of the manifest universe, while Spiritual seekers search for answers from within oneself and use the Human Mind & Body as the laboratory. It is important to appreciate the Science in Spirituality because spiritual growth or Self-Liberation is a scientific process. Despite scientific advancement, the intricate workings of Human brain, mind & consciousness is still a mystery. Human is the most evolved amongst all species found in planet Earth and is in the process of constant evolution both technologically and spiritually. This has been possible because the human is endowed with an apparatus called “MIND” that helps him to think and act. The subconscious mind is a storehouse of our past-life experiences, beliefs, memories, skills, all situations we've been through and all images we've seen in this birth & previous births. The subconscious mind is responsible for all the involuntary actions like digestion and heart beat and hence are prone to Stress related health issues. Nature has the in-built mechanism to bring about positive changes in the subconscious mind, which is in our DNA, but it is a very gradual process and happens over several births and this is termed as evolution. During Meditation, the change in the sub-conscious mind can be seen in the same lifetime of a person and this change during Meditation can be termed as “MICRO-SURGERY” of the psyche. Meditation induces Positive changes in the sub-conscious mind. Epigenetic changes have been attributed to various diseases in the recent past and reversal of these epigenetic changes have also been reported by various scientific studies through relaxation techniques like Meditation. Thus, there is a scientific proof that Stress impacts the DNA negatively, while Meditation impacts the DNA positively. It is a well-known fact that stress is felt by the MIND before the physical body feels its impact; same goes with Meditation where the relaxation and clarity is first felt by the MIND before positive changes are noticed in the physical wellbeing. This is a clear scientific proof that MIND indeed is in our DNA. Mind is closely associated with our Consciousness and so needless to say that DNA, MIND and CONSCIOUSNESS are in constant communion. Human birth is almost like the final stage of evolution and thus man is endowed with faculties which help him to reflect on the purpose of his birth and seek a path to reach a logical conclusion to his existence. Meditation is a path which leads him to the final purpose of life and hence happiness and bliss. It is now time that both Science and Spiritualism befriend one another, thereby supplementing and complementing each other. Cosmic Consciousness is a silent witness watching over science and its discoveries so long as it is progressive and not detrimental to humanity. It is time to appreciate the oneness of MIND-DNA-CONSCIOUSNESS and move towards creating a peaceful world.
