I remember the time when I was a kid, I was used to playing with the little toy phone, and the first gadget which I got was Nokia at the age of 17 years. The first smartphone I bought at the age of 22, which I was used to sharing with my sister as well. But today's kids are holding smartphones, even at the age of 2 or 3 years. Internet is the biggest invention which has extinct the differences among the people living in different countries.
In the ancient times, people were used to washing their clothes with their hands, but now we have different automatic machines to do laundry, and to press our clothes, and the way technology has helped farmers is not hidden from anyone. In short, Technology has influenced every part of our life in different ways, some are good and some are bad as well. It has become the need of the day, and we can't imagine our life without it, because it has caged us under its clutch, and even the coming generations can't deny its importance.
To this extent everything is alright, but problem arrives when they try to neglect spirituality, when certain people deny accepting the existence of the higher power, when they try to give the whole credit to scientists and never pay gratitude to the one who made it possible for them. Scientists, use their mind to do wonders in the field of technology, but do you ever think, who has blessed them with brain? Surly the one and only, Almighty!! But they are not willing to accept his existence.
To ones who disbelief spirituality, my question is that,
Do you know anyone? Who can create this entire universe? The big and bright blue sky, on which different species shine brightly at day and night, a little seed which grows into little plant in few days and later it sprout out flowers to enhance the environment, the cold and peaceful breeze, which serene your soul, the deep and trench seas, the chirping birds and mountains are the sign of his existence. Technology exists because of the existence of this power..!!!
We human beings, which are prone to mistakes are not even able to take a single breath without his will. So, for what you proud for?
Can spirituality and technology live together?
The wonders of technology are possible due to the belief of spirituality, and technology has also helped us a lot to spread the message of God through digital devices to the corner of the world, and we can see it through the speed of knowledge transfer. It has always played a great role in distributing spiritual message, but it has also mislead so many people to alter their minds and spirit.
Spirituality and technology can stay together if, learn to maintain balance. We need to change our mindset first, if we truly want to change the world. Spirituality is something which is related with our inner beliefs, and have a strong connection with our heart. It gives us peace, harmony, and leads to the better relationships. While technology is related with the outer world, which can improve instructions methods and point out better ways of learning.
So this is my belief about spirituality and technology, and personally I think, although technology is life changer for us, but still spirituality should be our first priority.
Everyone have his/her own beliefs, so these are my personal views, and I haven't any objection with anyone.
Thanks for reading.
