ABSTRACTS OF SIKH STUDIES : APRIL-JUNE 2005 / 537 NS<br />
and material objects; Thy doings are real, O Lord.” Truth is considered<br />
supreme in all religions but the <strong>Sikh</strong> religion lays more stress on truthful<br />
living than on truth : “Truth is high but higher still is truthful living”.<br />
Hence the <strong>Sikh</strong> religion does not condemn the worldly life as maya<br />
(illusion). Reality is perceived in a holistic mode in both microcosm<br />
and macrocosm. Guru Nanak has identified the manifest reality with<br />
nature : “Nanak, the beneficent Lord alone is True, and He is revealed<br />
through His Nature”.<br />
The need <strong>of</strong> the hour is a dialogue between Science and<br />
Spirituality. It will be most appropriate to promote Global Perspectives<br />
<strong>of</strong> Science and Spirituality with the <strong>Sikh</strong> religion as a basis.<br />
