His answer, in his own words

Maulana, agla sawal kya hai Professor S S Bhakri sahib ne. Unho ne likha hai "The means by which we live have distanced the ends for which we live. Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles, but misguided men. How do we create a sane world?" Har scientist zaroor woh spiritual person hota hai. Aik higher reality us ko pursue karta hai woh.
