আমার কথা বলতে এসেছি।
(সামুতে আস্তিক-নাস্তিক বিষয়ক লেখা পড়তে পড়তে ক্লান্ত হয়ে এই লেখাটি প্রকাশ করা।ঈশ্বর বা নির-ঈশ্বর কাউকেই বন্দনা/অস্বীকার করবার মোহ আমার নেই। বেহেস্তের প্রতি নেই লোভ, দোজখে আমার ভয় নেই। তবে এ দুইয়ের মাঝের ব্যাপার গুলোতে বোধকরি অবিরাম কৌতুহল। এ লেখাটি আমার বা আমার মতো করে মহাকালে হারিয়ে যাওয়া অস্তিত্বের ব্যবচ্ছেদ মাত্র। লেখাটি যখন লেখা তখন বাংলা লিখতে জানতাম না তাই ইংরেজীটাই পেষ্ট করলাম।)
Every person's world is equal to his/her own perimeter of knowledge.
May be the most important parameter of life is knowledge which is offcourse not limited to the concept of information. Knowledge includes all the feelings of being, all the conscience of existence. It may consist of experience through imagination, perception, action and acquisition. Acquisition is done through sight, ear, taste, touch and synchronization process in the human brain.
Is knowledge void?
I believe if a person could be the greatest knowledgeable person in this world he could know the final truth that he doesn’t really know anything except for the acknowledgment of his relative ignorance. Because all the truths of this world, except for few ones, are relative.
But is knowledge void?
The answer is yes and no. Because all the elements of our knowledge are dependent on acquisition, which may rather volatile but voidness of specific knowledge is hard to determine. Let see the reliability of factors of knowledge.
Imagination:
Man can not imagine anything beyond his acquired experience. Even if an artist draws a picture of the strangest animal which people never have imagined before, that drawn animal must be a combination of shapes the artist saw before.
Perception:
Perception is totally dependent on acquired knowledge. If five people are experiencing the same incident, they would have different perceptions about the same fact.
Acquiring Knowledge:
Acquired information is synchronized or analyzed and stored in human brain; a sense of learned is adjusted within. And brain is the organ which acknowledges and stores the sense of ‘Knowledge’. Before we test how void that knowledge is, lets take look at organs which acquires the information as the basis of knowledge.
Ear is one of the organs which collects information for building the sense of knowledge. But unfortunately we can’t hear everything. Our ability of listening is limited to 20 hertz to 20 kilo hertz. What we hear is also subject to defect of analyzing.
It is proved that we don’t see everything. LSD takers can see some colors which otherwise can’t be seen. But most important organ which makes the sense of ‘knowledge’ is seriously volatile. The decision we take to accept anything as knowledge is totally dependent on the bio-chemical reaction which is subject to chemical, temperature and electromagnetic waves. Ironically, our knowledge from any experience could be different if we were slightly deprived/over-endowed with any chemical or the temperature was slightly different. (Knowledge can also be different in kind. Yet, there won’t be a problem accepting the sun rises in the east except for those persons with different functioning of brain whom we divide as irrational. The case of sun is a general conception which we take without serious cognition, like people believed the earth is a plate on an elephant’s back or the sun moves round the earth. The blood we carry, has experience of million years written in it which also provides ingenious knowledge. I am talking about the knowledge which involves continual adjustment.)
So the knowledge seems ambiguous in the process of acquiring, formulating and using with a huge dependence on the most important element of life- Time.
Is time just an illusion?
Well, it can be called the reality or the state of being. Reality is relative to the next moment I acquire the information of getting a million dollar or being hanged or other given combination of possibilities. And with the proven ambiguity about acquired knowledge which obviously, relates state of being. So if reality is relative and the state of being is ambiguous, what else can we call time other than illusion?
But if time becomes illusion of possibilities based on acquired ambiguous knowledge, what’s to rely on?
In my view, time imposes all the realities and knowledge. It is the most important, rather illusional, element of life. We are living in it and there’s no way we can escape. Knowledge we possess is relative to time with chances of vital errors.
And incidents are not accidents, nor was the beginning of this universe with sudden tiny big bang. Something is mastering the contexts. May be it's nature, may be it's God. No matter who He is, He is the original source of knowledge and He passes it to us in the manner of context. Sometime He also keeps it away from us in the manner of knowledge. So what is the right knowledge and what’s the wrong one? The suitable answer could be- I don’t know except we were not familiar with another vital concept called ‘belief’.
Knowledge formulates beliefs and vice-versa. So it is not free from ambiguity of state. Belief is first condition for any religion and perhaps, the most important one(Emaan). The reason why He called it most important may be because belief is the most important factor of life we are living. Knowledge is derived from the encrypted reality and belief is the perception about that reality. That’s the tiny difference between knowledge and belief. It could perhaps be said- reality adjusts knowledge and belief adjusts reality.
Believing God or disbelieving Him is about the same thing- belief.
Interestingly, most of religions dealt with the three most important criteria of human. Most important is Belief. The other two are- Allurement for something and fear of something.
So what this life for?
I believe, time is the context and the knowledge of possibilities. All we have to do is get the better one done in accordance with my knowledge and belief. Every context is imposed upon me. The next moment, the context would be changed, representing the new possibilities awaiting for my action. I need to find the better one, not the best. Because I can not be sure of the best. I just can hope it to be the best with my belief.
