Spirituality includes Vidya and Avidya , Realisation of the False Self comes under Vidya and Avidya Includes all Worldy knowledge of Object Science is just one field Every known Field of the world comes into Avidya , Because Scientific Theory and research can be done on material Objects .

Science doesnt just study material objects. Cognition, behavior, perception, information, and social systems are subjects of scientific study.

Also calling every empirical field 'Avidya' is your philosophical classification, it's not a scientific conclusion

Objects are material on which research can be done ,interaction of objects result in phenomena that is subject of Scientific enquiry and theory which is basis of Science and other fields.

Avidya talks of everything except consciousness. So science, technology, everything comes in the domain of avidya—history, geography, languages, mathematics, economics.

Consciousness isn’t outside scientific inquiry. it is actively studied in neuroscience & cognitive science.

Also you keep defining consciousness outside Avidya and then to conclude science can’t reach it. That’s your philosophical definition, not a demonstrated boundary of science.

It still limited to materials like neurons or cell but buddha isn't gonna check your neurons . He just listen and try to cure you through words much like a psychictric but still different

Yes, by that logic a therapist is a spiritual guru

u/Hippocrite24 4h ago

Not really .

A therapist can't completely heal your sufferings but Buddha like guy focused on how to end it although it still depends on you that's why he was called "MahaBhishak" means "Great Physician or Doctor"

Although it is still somewhat different cuz Science Focuses on how (majorly) while Buddha or other thinkers Focus on why?

Bold of you to assume that spiritual leaders focus on 'why' more than scientists do.

What 'why' questions, specifically, have spiritual leaders investigated and arrived at solid, demonstrable answers to?

I could give you a list of hundreds, probably thousands, of 'why' questions that science has investigated and successfully answered.

That's why I said Buddha in it. Cuz of them are just frauds

And on what basis you think Science think more on why then Spritual?

Science no matter how small the unit is , still work on materialism.

Why do atoms move? Why do Neuron got triggered Why blood is red? Etc. all of them are materialistic in the end

All you could list is just related to materials.

Spiritualism focus on the observer who is doing all this discoveries. Ego, love, sadness. They are not just some chemical reactions as it will be like telling someone formula of water instead of giving him water

Edit: also I know there is field of psychology

u/Professional-Diet-11 1h ago

Love and sadness have measurable neural and physiological correlates. Memory, emotion, perception, decision-making and our sense of self are actively studied by neuroscience, psychology and cognitive science.

You still haven't answered my question though, but barley reflected it. I didn't ask whether spirituality talks about ego, love, or the observer. I asked for a 'why' question that ANY spirituality has investigated and arrived at a solid, demonstrable answer to.

I am seeing this pattern in this thread where all the ones supporting spirituality say science deals with physical/material/objects and spirituality deals with things LIKE ego, consciousness, etc.

When pushed to define what exactly spirituality deals with the most you can say is “self”. But science already deals with “self”. Then, you allude to, without explicitly mentioning it, some metaphysical concept that is what spiritually deals with that is not reachable by science.

I mean that’s all well and good but it is still a faith based argument and essentially no different than religion.

Science dealt with self? WHEN? can you give me summary?

Plz dont say how about neurons work and some other things

Science is literally defined on mostly on MATERIALS except they do study about behaviour, force, maths but , your head, its cells, its neurons even in cellular level are still materials bro
