Q: Can the high-tech and spirituality merge together? What’s your experience on that? What is the advice that you will offer to some of the folks who work in high-tech who are aspiring also on the spiritual track? Can they merge together?

A: Spirituality is high-tech, always been! It’s the highest technology. Because all technology, as I already said, what is the purpose of developing all this technology? Human well-being, isn’t it? And true human well-being will happen only when spiritual well-being is there.

When I say spiritual, do not think in terms of religion, or looking up to heaven or whatever. Spirituality means, as there is a physical reality, there is a dimension beyond the physical which is the basis of your existence. Iif you don’t keep that well, what you call as myself, if you don’t keep that well, if you do not understand the technology of keeping that well, which is very high technology. So if you don’t do that, then there is really no use of other technology.

So I don’t see any kind of contradiction. As people become more and more scientific in their way of looking at life, they will naturally become more and more spiritual. The reason why spirituality has been not as much as it should have been in the world is, there has not been sufficient scientific way of thinking in the planet. Today, probably for the first time in the world, like never before, more and more human beings are beginning to think logically and scientifically. So naturally, the world will become more and more spiritual.
