Abstract
Today we live in the age of science and technology. The growth of scientific knowledge and technology have given new dimensions to our life and influenced each and every field of our living. Science has done a great service to mankind by providing amenities of pleasant living and saved the human race from many miseries and uncertainties of the primitive past. It has also destroyed many superstitions and religious dogmas. However, at the same time it has also uprooted certain moral, religious, and cultural values of our society. Most of our traditional religious values and beliefs have been thrown away by the growth and outlook of scientific knowledge. We know much about the atom but not enough about the moral values needed for a meaningful life. Our life is full of excitement, emotional disorders, and conflicts of moral values. It seems that spiritually we live in a state of chaos. Thus, we do not only live in the age of science but also in the age of anxiety and mental tensions.
