Every moment arises from an unknowable entity and then disappears into it also.
No matter how much we try, we cannot know what that entity is (if there is any).
You may be approaching an intersection and see a car passing across from the other side.
You have no idea who is coming, where they would be coming from, what their mind will be like, and what circumstances they would have gone through to have a mind like that in that particular moment.
And yet, their driving may or may not have a significant impact on you in that moment.
If nothing happens, all you know is that such and such a car crossed you; that’s all.
And if you and up with an accident, then all that matters.
Similarly, we need thousands of people every day, each person with their own mind and their own past.
But all we know is them in that particular moment only; the rest remains unknowable.
This shows how limited our vision is.
But what’s more amazing is how much we jump (Ego), based on such limited knowledge.
But Unknowability is not acceptable to us; we perceive it as our defeat.
And that’s why we cater to imagination, creating the past and the future, proposing theories, concepts, and ideas of punishing or rewarding Gods, etc.
Karma theory, journey of a soul, heaven, hell, these are only futile attempts of the mind to establish itself as your sole provider of everything you need to know. (Playing God).
Mind, by creating heavens and hells, thinks that it owns them.
This is astounding what we have done with our minds.
But Unknowability is not a defeat; in reality, it is a blessing.
Why?
Because the mind means knowledge (borrowed, of course).
But, Unknowability can shut off the mind, denying its entry into its territory.
That’s where the mind reaches its limit.
When the mind cannot know, it is no longer needed, and rest happens.
When all theories collapse, peace and silence remain.
Meditate, watch the mind crumble, and then dance the dance of the unknowability (the aghyey), which is life itself.
You don’t have to know everything, and not knowing is not a crime.
Don’t punish yourself for “not knowing; the opposite person is putting you down only from his borrowed knowledge, which is not his.
But when you end up surrendering the mind to Aghyey, that becomes your knowledge: that there is something that is higher than both of you and is unknowable to all.
