One of the most deep-rooted effects of scientific spirit on man is lust for power. The new discoveries and inventions add to his power as well as love power. His love of power has acquired predominance over other desires as pleasure of sense, aesthetic pleasure and pleasure of contemplation. Mechanism augments human powers to an enormous degree. It is, therefore, this aspect of science that affects the lovers of power.
Scientific spirit has taken us to such a pass as may bring us nearer destruction. We have been inventing and discovering new weapons and armaments without caring to use them judiciously. We have the powers of God but we are using them like children. As a result of it man is preparing for his own doom. The scientific spirit has made us so curious that all other considerations are wiped out.
Scientific spirit has made us formal and so it has created a big gap between our actions and thoughts. As a result of it people have become hypocrites. There is no love, no sincerity and no humanistic relations among human beings. As result of it people try to satisfy their aims. our attitude towards everything including our institutions, our life and our relations with other have become mechanical.
We have become time conscious and always try to finish our work in a speedy though faulty manner. We are in such a hurry that we have lost the aesthetic sense of life. We don't have time to enjoy the charms of life. Not only this but also the time consciousness has created anxiety, some type of confusion in thinking and disturbance in emotions. Our thinking has become mechanical and so try to find out ways to achieve our aims by giving ideas to others.
We present our ideas as ideals and always try that people should adopt them and be baited. Man has become a thinking machine. Emotions have completely been smothered. Intellectual people who have no touch of emotions about them are good for nothing for the society. their reasons may direct them in the wrong direction but they act upon that because they think the decision is logical.
Scientific spirit has also made man fickle-minded. In life we always need an anchorage. By making us to shift from one opinion to another and by bending us from one ideal to another science has uncertainty in our thinking and flexibility in our outlook. It is admitted that flexibility admits of adjust-ability which is necessary in a democratic country. In other words flexibility of outlook is according to the need of the hour though it has made the life of human beings just like a ship without a rudder. No society can be progressive without love of novelty and modern technique makes it more and more difficult to be a rebel.
It is difficult to cultivate scientific spirit because it is the result of an interplay of so many force upon human mind. The life, the civilization, are colored by scientific spirit. Consequently even in education emphasis is laid upon science and scientific system. So man is bound to become scientific in his attitude, in his outlook and in his evaluation. As a result of it every judgment of his every fancy of his, every ideal of his assumes the scientific colour. It is also difficult to check the assault of scientific spirit upon human thinking.In order to get rid of the evil effects we will have to supplement scientific education with moral and religious education. It is wrong to think that scientific spirit is opposed to religious spirit but it can go side by side with religion and religious spirit.
Scientific spirit does give us initiative, energy and enthusiasm to work, and to explore the remote region. So instead of checking to the growth of scientific spirit our aim should be to channelize it.
