VI The Man Science Failed to Discover

The Man Science Failed to Discove something unreal, which cannot be grasped. It is a part of the fourdimensional space-time continuum, a network of electric waves, or a ‘wave of probability which perished on being looked at; and it has even been considered an extension of the observer’s consciousness instead of something solid and tangible. This pathetic end to the quest for the secret of life in the material sciences shows that the secret of life is not discoverable by man. Now just as a sick man cannot treat his disease himself and is forced to consult a doctor, so a man who is in need of spiritual sustenance cannot provide this for himself without turning to God. The fact that he cannot discover the secret either of life or of his own nature is a sure indicator that he is in need of the God who created him in the form in which he exists. Just as God has created man in such a way that he needs oxygen and then has given him oxygen in abundance, similarly, He has made him yearn to know the secret of life and then has sent His messengers to him so that all veils should fall from reality. 1.
