In the true sense of the word science, science can help us explain the
mysteries of life. In fact, the mysteries of life must be investigated
scientifically, otherwise our understanding of the world, and our
place in it, will remain a matter of faith.

In the modern, so-called natural sciences the object of study is
matter and matter only. Matter is observed and studied in all its
variations and interactions.

The biggest mystery of life, however, is ourselves, and for that a
spiritual science is required.

In the spiritual science, consciousness is the object of study - one
studies the influence of matter on the consciousness and the mind. So
in the spiritual science, consciousness is the object of
investigation. One does not limit one's studies to that which is
outside of oneself.

That's why spiritual science is superior to material science. Material
science is insufficient in describing and understanding the reality we
live in.

And why is this so? Because none of the natural sciences have anything
sensible to say about our conscious experience of the world. It is our
conscious awareness of the world which is the most fundamental aspect
of the reality we live in, so what is the use of a science that has
nothing to say about consciousness?

The use of science, of course, is to fabricate technology, but since
when did technology help us better understand the mysteries of life?

"Science is ghastly silent about all and sundry that is really near to
our heart, that really matters to us. It cannot tell us about red and
blue, bitter and sweet, beautiful and ugly, good or bad, God and
eternity. Science sometimes pretends to answer questions in these
domains, but the answers are often so silly that we are not inclined
to take them seriously."

--Erwin Schrodinger, a Nobel prize winning physicist

So the spiritual science, as for example presented by Krishna in
Bhagavad Gita, can help illuminate our understanding of both ourselves
and the world we live in. In Bhagavad Gita, God explains the mysteries
of life in a perfect, scientific way.
