Beliefs of some kind are a natural human frailty that help provide emotional solace and determine behavior. While scientific theories are also a type of belief, they are based on observations and cannot be truly verified. All humans, including scientists and philosophers, rely on beliefs or convictions to cope with uncertainty and live sanely. The only way to overcome prejudices from superstitions is to live beyond the realm of senses through self-realization, which is possible through practices like NAMASMARAN.
