Because philosophy being part of art, is part of imagination. It is absolutely important for us to understand that there is a need to integrate the artistic and the scientific elements in our living, in our thinking, in the way in which we understand scientific theories, and in the way in which we understand artistic things. I believe if an artist is organized, he or she can make more money. But if a scientific person doesn't have an artistic sense it may be difficult for him or her to progress, to continue his or her line of imagination, use scientific theories and applicable scientific formulas. So, when we talk about spirituality there is a need to understand the scientific basis for spirituality.
Spirituality is a science that deals with the spirit.
Spirit not in terms of the 'spirits', but in terms of the spirit within. We understand that we have both body and mind. Body is something that we see, it is outward, it is faculty driven, there is no problem in terms of understanding the existence or the purpose behind the need for the body. But when we talk of mind, there are many theories that explain mental phenomena. Nobody denies the existence of mind, even though it is a subjective matter, not objective as the body is.
