Spiritual Aspect of Life

The Flowers Of Guidance Volume One How the Spirit Can Be Understood
By regarding spiritual matters, we can employ medicine better (on the left, you see an artificial plastic heart).

As will be clarified in this section through evaluation and research, factors that we call spiritual factors, the essence, and depth of matters, are the principal aspects and the necessary conditions of life. Therefore, consideration and contemplation in these not only enlightens the dark corners of the mind, but also are factors that progress and advance research in many branches of science, including medicine, dissection, and physiology. In other words, if material scientists pay attention to spiritual affairs, they can utilize it in the medical and other fields of science.

So, atheists should have adequate information on spirits and spiritual affairs because this knowledge will help them with the progression of their research. Of course, gaining ultimate knowledge in this field is a responsibility for divine learned men, and we do not expect everyone to become fully proficient in these affairs. However, atheists should not be negligent of spirituality, nor alienate themselves from it.
