Intending to serve the nation further, the author felt motivated after retirement on superannuation from government service on 31.01.2019 to spread the message of science whatever received in life so far. His soft and simple approach to science, literature, Indian culture, and Sri Aurobindo philosophy has provided him interest and energy to innovate this book.
Science is the scientific bent of mind in attitude and action any time anywhere. When the mind is incomplete and is in an evolving stage, to control over mind there is conscience which is again evolving. Science is made confined to matter. It is incomplete and needs to be spiritualized. The emergence of life from lifeless (though not proved yet by this limited science), the evolution of species in life, and transformation of human life to the Divine Life with Supramental Consciousness are among a few phases in the journey of life. Art, literature, and culture would be helpful to provide rest and hence to collect energy in case, life lingers on while proceeding on its spiritual path. What has happened so far, what is happening now, and what would happen in the future are all predestined. These can never be calculated by this incomplete human endeavor. So, the author feels convinced to convey the message behind the title, Practicability: Steps Ahead of Probability through various articles in the book.Let us be conscious to catch the outcome of Nature's deed and try to make use of it to go into the root.
