There is no doubt that an atheist's world is cold, lonely and scary as compared to a believer's world. Perhaps for this reason, human sought mysticism very early in his civilization. Deepak Chopra says human mind is hard-wired to believe in God. I think there is some truth in it. I think it derives from our fear, our need to feel safe and secure. And with this understanding, I am totally in peace with believer's God. As for myself, I am still in search for a good or rather a noble or at least an unselfish reason to surrender to God. I know surrendering is giving your 'self'. So, isn't it an unselfish act by definition ? No, it is not. The expectation or at least the anticipation of something good happening to myself when I do so makes it a selfish act.
But before all that nitty-gritty I must know more about Him. And Gokul ji, you have been scaring me by using this word 'unknowability' whenever you talk about Divinity or it's manifestations, supposing human mind is one of them.
I have some questions, doubt and curiosity about this notion of 'unknowability'. Let me try to put them here briefly.
My first question is, is there any basis, apart from a hypothetical possibility, for the existence of the unknowables ? I know it is paradoxical question because if we *know* it exists or may exist, then it is already not any more unknowable. So, it appears to me that we will never ever know anything about the unknowables. I also speculate that among the unknowables, those who have consciousness, will never *know* about us too.
As you should have noticed, I am using 'unknowable' not to mean 'undetectable' and certainly not 'unpredictable'. Undetectability would be tool-dependent whereas 'unknowability' is tool-independent. And 'unpredictable' goes to the realm of statistics.
You had used Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle in similar context somewhere. But I suppose Heisenberg's uncertaninty which is about the precision does not lead to any notion of Unknowability. Or does it ?
