Last day of our acquaintance

When science becomes illustration of facts, religion becomes lame. I believe discovery of this fact as mankind’s greatest achievement. It also led to remarkable conclusions. Liberated by this discovery, I had endless debates with MeghaShyam Iyengar.

I first met MeghaShyam Iyengar in a fanatical rage. Given the utter determinism we both possess, I could not give a name to our relationship. So, I called it acquaintance. Fundamentally, we were very different and debated from incredible distances. Interestingly, we started our debates in subdued eloquence. We did not discuss energy, matter or beautiful symmetries. Despite complexity and variety of our debates, it lacked element in substance.

I quoted several aphorisms to affirm the origin of truth. Albeit MeghaShyam Iyengar’s explanations looked like pantomimes, it is quite interesting to hear or consume those debates. Eventually, this led to several endless debates resulting in believing and disbelieving.

Perhaps, the chorus around those debates lacked humbleness to erode the discrepancies, but nevertheless, no short of logical contradictions. Nevertheless, no one doubts that we are confronted with a casual connection whose casual components are in main known to us. We might have penetrated far less deeply into the irregularities obtaining with the realm of debates, but nevertheless, futile.

The vastness of resources available to us seems still insufficient to surpass religious spiritualisation of our understanding of life. Simply put, science with its finite time has provided all answers to religious impulse.

MeghaShyam Iyengar on the other hand was appreciative of mythical values existing from baseless thoughts and narratives. Our conversation on religion, relationships and anthropologic cultures did highlight primitive cultures and practices that exists to this date.

In my view, religions in all forms is an affair. An affair of human relationships coinciding with emotional values, thus fulfilling partially the aesthetic side of life. Religion to many is a necessity. 

Some of my conversations did lead to moral values. Religion has an oversighting effect and impairment of mutual human considerations and negative relativity.

Our debates largely revolved around our beliefs, experiments, experiences, ideologies and sound sentiments leading to utter sincerity to our approach. Religion on the other may owe its origin to fear and compulsion in some sort. My piece of debate did direct to science addressing some fundamental questions concerning relativity and reality. Sometimes, you are an alien walking on the fine line between a pagan and a Christian.

MeghaShyam and I did agree on some aspects. Both religion and science have fundamental problems to address. There essentially lies a void space in our illusions and assumptions. For instance, bohemian lifestyle is hard to imagine in a structured society. A larger population from a structured society would even fail to come to terms that unconventional life does exist.
