ASK MAULANA

Would the world be more peaceful, without religion, without borders, with one culture, one language and no conflicts? Religion, Border and Culture are a must—they result in a peaceful society. But it must be understood that the values required for a peaceful society do not come on their own. In reality, they come from religion; religion is the source of these values. Without religion, these values are nothing but rhetoric. It is a mistake to believe that the world would be a more peaceful place if there were just one culture or one language, without religions and without borders. This will never happen because conflict is in human nature; it has no existence in the external world. There are two key aspects of human knowledge: humanities and physical sciences. Physical science could not have any differences, for instance, water shall always be H2O, and every scientist will always end up with the same conclusion through different experiments, while in the subject of humanities there will always be differences. As we learn from 312-page book of Dr. Alexis Carrel wherein he has failed to find the reality of human life. That is why he titled the book, Man, the Unknown. Psychological studies show that every man and women is different from one another. It can be seen that even in a family living together in the same house, following the same culture and speaking the same language, there can still be differences. Such differences are not a problem. Any difference causes discussion and it further leads to brainstorming. o NOTICE Subscribers are requested to inform us about non-receipt of their copies, latest by 15th of the month, providing their full name and address.
