What exactly is God? The power, the force, the energy, the intelligence behind this life and existence including the existence itself personified? Well, then it cannot be denied because the life is there before us, before me, to perceive. I am there, and therefore the power that makes it possible for me to exist must be there. When this power is conceived in a certain particular form and name it becomes a particular God.
This power apparently has no craving to continue in existence or to be reborn again and again because it seems to be just there in perpetuity. The need to continue in some form of existence even after death is not that of this god, this power or that of the awareness in Man, me. The need is that of the bundle of memory that has lived so far, and wants to continue.
So, if anything, any subtle residue exists after death, it must be the memory. But the memory of what? All the memory from birth to death? Or a selected portion only? Can memory exist without a body, without the material body? Suppose it does exist by some hitherto unknown phenomenon, what about the memory of any life before birth? Will that also be tagged on along with the memory of the present life? It should be then the memory accumulated from the beginning. And what is the beginning? A primary cell, an atom, a quark, or a boson etc. But that cannot be ‘me’ by any standard or by even the wildest form of fantasy!
The whole of my thought process is now reduced to absurdity, and attracts outright rejection. Thoughts like this can never solve the problem, or find out the truth. Then what can be done? Nothing! Shut up! And leave the God alone. Better surrender to the ‘non-existent’ Reality!
I DON”T KNOW; AND I CANNOT KNOW: THEREFORE I SURRENDER!
