"Splitting of Love is Science"-Bhagwan Sri Sathya Saibaba

The Scientist and The Saint

" The word Manava (man) has several meanings. One of them is that man has an ancient origin. Maa meaning "not," and nava meaning "new" indicate that man is "not new." He has had a long past. Another meaning of the word is "one who lives without ignorance" (Maa--ignorance; Na---without; Va -- lives). The reason for this is the fact that in man them is a sacred principle composed of the five basic elements (ether, air, fire, water and earth).



If we examine the nature of the human state from the scientific point of view, it is found that the tissues of the human body are composed of the four elements: hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and carbon. The unified expression of these four elements is the human condition. Ignoring this unity, scientists today are seeking to explore the nature of matter by breaking up the Love principle. "The Spirit of Love is Spirituality." "Splitting of Love is Science." Scientists are exploring matter by dividing Love. They are unaware of the nature of Love. They are ignorant of Purity. Scientists are imbued only with a sense of enquiry into matter. Consequently, today there is a complete divorce between science and spirituality. "
