The Greatest Question

The greatest question is not whether there is God or not, but why we homo sapiens ask questions.

The unified force from the very first tiny spiral after big bang begins to go through four basic forces induced four basic interactions i.e., gravitational, electromagnetic, strong and weak interactions.

Or begins to separate out into these four basic forces.

Or goes through the first molecule, through atoms comprising this first molecule, through nuclei of these atoms and then through sub-nuclear regions.

In its going through the nuclei when it goes through or encounters 'imprisoning' strong interactions, it begins to develop separation from the rest of the world, from the oneness of it all. This separation, this confinement of the unified force is the main cause of the eventual development of species homo sapiens with all its characteristic traits*.

This entry into strong interactions goes on adding linearly as well as to which I call superimpositionally to eventually make homo sapiens when things come up evolving to us simultaneously developing in us a sense of complete separation from the oneness or nature or what is is.

This separation is the main cause of development of all special human traits including his asking questions.

This is the separation which is transcended when a yogi is said to have an experience of Oneness, of Self-realisation, of God realisation, of this and that. When in fact he enters further into the phase of weak interactions. Since these later have almost infinitely ranged carriers such as neutrinos, a sage (or the unified force which has now become his lot) coupled with them then sits in complete unity with almost the whole of the universe.

In other words, he is again one with the One, with the Oneness of it all, with Nature as Spinoza had put it. He then gradually ceases to ask any questions.

No wonder all sages/prophets talked of Oneness in one way or the other. They speak differently of this same Oneness only because they belong to different times.

There is no other God beyond this Oneness. In fact one with this Oneness you can then not think of any other entity or God greater than this. Nor feel the need of one.


*What some call our soul is this very unified force, or that part of this unified force which has now become our lot.
