Scientists naturally have difficulty in accepting religious or philosophical premises relating to our transitory world and the cosmos, as metaphysical concepts cannot be reached by methods acceptable to the experimental rules of science. This unfortunately seems to be a difficulty which can never be overcome because of the inherently dual nature of the universe; also the existence of Maya, which causes duality, is never sufficiently considered by scientists, who in general remain as yet unaware of the essentially illusory nature of the material creation.
In the light of present-day metaphysical knowledge, is it not useless to pay too much serious attention to modern theories relating to the cosmology and astronomy of our times, as we know the main issues today is the conflict between the Evolutionary and Steady Rate theories? This helps to show that scientific data about the origins of the universe are in a state of flux.
The human mind as long as it is under the spell of Maya can never do more than make conjectures. It can never arrive at any definite conclusions and so the problem of Whence and Whither remain forever insoluble mysteries. Only when the mind has transcended its limitations and man has become Perfect in all comprehension can he arrive at Reality or Truth—which is beyond the scope of the intellect. Therefore is it not useless for scientists to discuss Reality and the origins of the universe without verifying the facts at their source? These can only be found in an incarnation or personification of Truth, Satya-Haque, as it is called in the East; i.e, one known as a Self-or God-realized man, Sadguru or Kutub. Such a Perfected Man has transcended the mind as we know it, for he has the Christ or Buddhic state of consciousness, which is the highest state of awareness that man can attain to, Swayambhu Dnyan and the Haqiquat-Mohammedi, or by whatever name it may be known. Such men have All-Wisdom, All-Knowledge and Divine Love.
All this means the same Truth: Oneness with God and Oneness with man at one and the same time. When we look into the past we see there have always been such incarnations—outstanding amongst them were Mohammed, Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, Ram and Zoroaster, and they had these attributes which belong to the Godman. There have always been such men and there will always be such men. We have these men in our present epoch, but their spiritual status is never recognized in their life-time, and they are only known to the few. They live and work in comparative obscurity; but in critical stages of world history one man in particular
