The Source
For the longest time, I adamantly refused to listen to any idea that said that there was a Source of Divinity. But the fact of the matter was, I just didn’t know. I didn’t know how I felt about anything. In the words of my sister, it can get “brain hurty”.
Some time ago, the Tridevi came to me. The Tridevi is made up of three Goddesses, Saraswati, Lakshmi and Durga. They always come to me together. Recently, it was pointed out to me that Hindus do believe in a Source, which is called Brahman. This is what made me really start to think about what I believe.
I know the Gods. I know They are infinite, and with no beginning and no end. They simply Are.
The more I think about it, and the more I realize that there is both a Source and not a Source.
Think about the famous Schrödinger's cat thought experiment. While inside the box, the cat can be seen as both alive and dead. Without opening the box, we can’t know how the cat is doing.
Likewise, humans are unable to communicate about the Source. We don’t know how to explain it, some of us may not even know if it’s real. It both exists and does not exist.
This is where I stand now. I don’t know, and I don’t think I ever will fully know. It’s just something that cannot be explained by humans.
