Great men and women have devoted their lives to the cause of science and the benefit of mankind, understanding that an overarching spiritual purpose underlies all of our intellectual endeavors.

Knowledge based on intellectual analysis is merely stored as information, but there is a higher knowledge to be obtained, an intuitive understanding, that marks the evolution of one’s inner being, one’s Self.

For both the spiritual and the scientifically-thinking mind, it is a long and difficult path from concentration & contemplation to illumination & revelation. But it is a righteous path that deserves our utmost attention - or what ancient science otherwise distinguished as “the strength to embrace”.

Sri Yukteswar tells us when “all the developments of Ignorance are withdrawn, man’s Heart comes to a clean state, void of all external ideas. Then man becomes able to comprehend the Spiritual Light, the only Real Substance in the universe, which is the last and everlasting spiritual portion in creation”.

This is this eternal, "death-transcending" Truth that is spoken of in ancient mythologies and teachings across the globe.

Perhaps Yukteswar’s essential message in “The Holy Science” is that astronomy is only an entranceway to the vision of this Truth … and that we must always remember that our primary goal is to embody the wisdom within the ancient teachings.

This goal supersedes any astronomical pursuit.
