Specialization of the age
Friday, July 16th, 2010Our age is the age of specialization. Each one knows more about less. We concentrate on some narrow field and forget about the larger context in which we could see the meaning of our own specialization. Modern specialization has led to the fragmentation of knowledge. We should not only be specialists but also have a sense of the meaning of life and of social responsibility. We have to reckon with the spirit of science, understand its limitations and develop an outlook which is consistent with its finding.
It is no use clinging to traditional forms which have lost their meaning. We cannot ignore the world of scientific achievement and withdraw into the inner life of contemplation. We are involved in the mechanism of the modern world and so should seek even religious truth not merely with our emotions but with our minds. We cannot ignore the scientific civilization. Nor can we drop religion. To reconcile the two is the task set for our generation.
It’s entry into the new year with new experiences and knowledge, waiting. So what’s talk about healthy eating and what food we eat? In recent decades, have been their constant climb wards several reported cases of heart attack, diabetes, obesity. These figures are startling, but it’s jump to be able to get reports from other sources.
One of the contributing factors of Diabetes is stress. Given the modern lifestyles, most people find themselves amid a sea of tension and stress. It is difficult for them to avoid stress altogether.However, if the treatment of Diabetes and stress busting go hand in hand, the patient can still lead a fairly normal life. This requires major modifications in his lifestyles. This is exactly where Yoga can become an effective tool.
