Beliefs of some kind are a natural human frailty that help provide emotional solace and determine behavior. While scientific theories are considered more intellectual beliefs, they cannot truly be verified and are still subjective. All humans, including scientists and philosophers, rely on some beliefs or convictions to cope with the uncertainty of life and existence. True freedom from superstitions and prejudices may only be possible through self-realization, which is said to be achievable through practices like NAMASMARAN.
