Acharya Prashant explains that science is fundamentally based on a philosophy of objective reality, relying on sensory perception and mental logic. It operates on the foundational belief that only what is visible or conceptualizable is real. This approach is rooted in body-identification, where the body is seen as the primary truth. Consequently, science naturally progresses toward enhancing bodily comfort and, ultimately, attempting to achieve physical immortality. However, this pursuit is limited because it originates from the very material identification it seeks to serve, and it cannot address the deeper needs of consciousness.
