What is Knowledge : Ch-3. Part-9.



Chapter-3. A Philosophic Outlook of Life
Part-9.

These are the difficulties of a philosophic mind.

It cannot be easily satisfied with mere perceptions of things.

We see a man dying, and the matter is over.

He has gone.

But the philosophic mind cannot be satisfied merely with seeing somebody going.

"Where does he go?"

"What happens to that person that has gone?"

"From where has that person come?"

"What is the reason why we cannot even know our own future the next moment?"

 "What is this big world around us?"

"From where has it come?"

"Who made it?"

"Or has nobody made it, and it is just there as it was?"

These questions require an answer.

"Does the world exist as it is?"

"Is it its own creator?"

"Or does it have no creator?"

"Has somebody made it?"

"If somebody has made it, where is that somebody?"

These are also some questions that occur to minds, and we cannot easily get an answer to these questions.
