Scientific work is accorded great status because people see them work. Now see the irony. A spiritual feat such as transcending of desires or emotions is rarely projected as a herculean accomplishment. IMO, one who does the latter can easily perform the former and not vice versa. The irony is spiritual feats are so rarely seen to work that any proclamation of its achievement is interpreted as a bogus claim.

Sri. Sravna, Greetings.

Not all the scientific efforts work. Only such works that were found economically viable and worked safely had been released to the public. Companies invest large amounts of money in research and development only because not all of the developments work; sometimes it takes years to develop a product.

Transcending desires or emotions is not a spiritual feat. Transcending those desires is the desire of the person.. so, that person only indulged in his/her desire when transcended a particular desire. Why should that be accepted as a feat? All those persons who wanted to transcend a desire only because they had a desire to do it.

Spiritual feat, in my opinion is, a person lives with noble thoughts for others and care for others. Personally, I would salute that as a feat.

Cheers!
