I think all sciences will end in religion

Film: Guide

Year of release: 1965

Spoken by: Raju Guide (as Swami) (Dev Anand)

Spoken to: Foreign reporter (Unknown)

Dialogue writer: Vijay Anand

One of the reasons all Godmen find legitimacy is coverage in foreign press. During the long climax of Guide, Raju (who is being considered a holy man by the villagers) is deep into his 12 day long fast to bring rain. People are thronging the fast site from all over the country. So much so that it has caught the fancy of the foreign press as well. So there is this Foreign correspondent who asks the Swami a couple of questions

The first one is translated by her assistant and Raju answers in Hindi. 

Her second question is 

"In your opinion what is the place of religion in the modern scientific world?"

To her complete surprise, Raju answers in English,

"I think all sciences will end in religion".

She is now totally taken in by this holy man. Not because he is spiritually exalted, but because he can manifest that exaltation in English! 

But what a great line. In the last few years, we have been watching religion hitting back at science with a vengeance. To have foreseen that half a century ago! Goldie Saab was a sagacious man. 

Sawaal ye hai ki is dunyaa ko banaane vaala, chalaane vaala, koi hai, ya nahiin?

When Rosie (Waheeda Rehman) comes to visit Raju (now a Swami) when he is almost a week into his 12-day fast, he is becoming delirious. He dreams of a conversation with his own former self. His former self tries to tell him to eschew this folly. That a man's hunger or fasting could have any link with the clouds and rains.

The Swami version of Raju rationalises thus,

"Sawaal ab yeh nahiin, ki paani barsegaa ya nahiin. Sawaal yeh nahiin ki main jiyunga ya maruungaa. Sawaal ye hai ki is dunyaa ko banaane vaala, chalaane vaala, koi hai, ya nahiin?"

"सवाल ये है कि इस दुनया को बनाने वाला, चलाने वाला, कोई है, या नहीं?"

"Agar nahiin hai to parvaah nahin, zindagi rahe ya maut aaye. Ek andhi dunyaa mein andhe ki tarah jeene mein koii mazaa nahiin. Aur agar hai...to dekhnaa yeh hai, ki vo apne majboor bandon ki suntaa hai...ya nahin."

Haven't you often wondered, is there a force that guides us all?

Does it rain in the village? Does his 12-day fast unto death work? Watch Guide to know the answer to that.
