Search for Truth

met the same fate as that of philosophers. The primary reason for this was that the spiritualists sought truth through meditation in ‘the world of the heart’. However, they could obtain no success in this regard. The simple reason behind this is that the heart is just an organ for pumping blood. Therefore, the realisation or consciousness of truth was absent in the heart. If this is the case, how could those searching for it find it there? The same thing happened with science and its votaries. Knowledge of science acquired great importance with the advent of ‘modernity’. In the beginning, people believed that science would finally succeed in answering the questions raised in the search for truth. However, science quickly narrowed down the scope of its investigation. In their research, scientists found that obtaining answers to existential questions of life was as impossible for them as it had proved to be for philosophers. Thus, they set aside these questions and confined themselves only to researching physical or material things. In this way, it became clear that finding the answers to existential questions through science was impossible. In this regard, the final domain was that of religion. The task of religion is to help man become aware of the truth and to clarify man’s position in the universe. Religions came precisely to give man the proper guidance on these matters. However, if we look at the present state of religions, we will realise that they fell prey to distortion later. Hence, there is an urgent need to re-study religions. Beliefs must be rediscovered in their original form.
