Science & Spirituality - Two sides of the same coin

Something that Carl Sagan said matches my views quite closely :

“Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spirituality. When we recognize our place in an immensity of light‐years and in the passage of ages, when we grasp the intricacy, beauty, and subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling, that sense of elation and humility combined, is surely spiritual. So are our emotions in the presence of great art or music or literature, or acts of exemplary selfless courage such as those of Mohandas Gandhi or Martin Luther King, Jr. The notion that science and spirituality are somehow mutually exclusive does a disservice to both.” 

 Even Albert Einstein, in his later years, became a something of a believer. He insisted that "Science without religion is lame, Religion without science is blind." Being a believer does not have to even mean believing in a particular god - it could be something as simple as believing in an idea. The idea of a power more powerful than us. 

 

Some schools of thought say that our thoughts are supposed to be like a form of a wave energy with which we create our universe. Buddha said, 'As you think, so you are.' We could explain all our spiritual laws by means of theoretical physics, by speaking about them at cellular and molecular level even- and we could 'experience' the inner depths of spirituality to be at peace with ourselves and feel the guidance leading us towards Knowledge. And 'Science' is from a latin word which means 'to know'. 

I believe we need science to explain spirituality and we need spirituality to give us an inner peace and guidance to do science
