Why the science is silent about the unimaginable
Only the existence of God is acceptable and explicable The silence of science about the unimaginable God is mis-understood as the negation. Similarly, the silence of Buddha about the unimaginable God was mistaken as negation of God. By this, both Buddha and science were treated as the sources of atheism. Silence does not mean negation of unimaginable entity. Even the authority of theism, the Veda, says that the best expression of God is silence. Even Shankara clearly stated that the absolute God (Parabrahman) is always expressed by silence. Shankara debated with the followers of Buddha only on this point and proved that silence is not the indication of negation of God. Silence is only the acceptance of existence of unimaginable God. You must say that the unimaginable God exists. You are authorized only up to this single point. The Veda says that only the existence of God is acceptable and explicable (Astityeva…). Regarding the further information of God, silence is to be adopted. The acceptance of existence of unimaginable God is based on the exhibition of unimaginable events called as miracles. The multiplicity in the unimaginable events is not the multiplicity in the unimaginable item. There is only one unimaginable item called as God. He is establishing the existence of the unimaginable item on several occasions using several imaginable materials. Therefore, the multiplicity is only in the occasions and in the imaginable materials and it is not in the final conclusion, which is the existence of single unimaginable item. Already, we have established that there cannot be multiplicity in the unimaginable item. www.universal-spirituality.org Universal Spirituality for World Peace |

Thanks for your reply Jakare... this is a subject I do find truly fascinating so I hope you will indulge me just a bit further in some friendly discussion.
Could we ever really say something happens at the quantum level, but not on our own level of reality? Surely common sense would tell us that this is not so... reality must be like a fractal, each new rung is fundamentally the same as every other repetition of the pattern that came before it. Therefore if something is true on the microscopic level, it must also be true in our "bigger" macroscopic world as well... even if it is counter intuitive or does not mesh easily with our commonly-held worldview. I don't understand how humans became convinced that we are the apex of evolution and knowledge... everyone seems so certain that we see and understand everything, but this is a truly arrogant assumption, in my own mind... I went to a fish hatchery recently and I saw thousands and thousands of fish in man-made pools, swimming, playing, mating, whatever the heck fish do in their day-to-day fish lives... my face was just inches from the water but they did not see me and were totally unaware of my presence... because their fish-minds most likely could not even conceive of a world outside of their own watery environment, much less creatures much more highly evolved than themselves inhabiting it... |
