PRINCIPLE AND PERSONALITY ... 1

The main difference between science and religion is that the former speaks of principles always while the latter tries to glorify personalities, even God, by any means. The former's is the cause of knowledge while the latter's more a commercial cause. The only exception to this in the realm of religion is the Vedanta which entirely deals with philosophical principles and, as such, Vedanta approximates science, being the science of the Spirit, the Self behind this phenomenal appearance of name and form. In it there are no goings on of glorification of personality which is why it advanced so much in ancient India in evolution of thought like modern science in this age has done in the realm of matter.
