The Cost of Not Knowing Him: Why Ignorance is Not Bliss
Ignorance of God is not neutral. It keeps the soul bound within Maya, suffering, and endless birth.
📍 Where You Are in the Inquiry
You have seen the nature of God.
You have seen the structure of reality.
So a final question remains:
👉 Does it matter if we do not know Him?
Why Knowing God Matters
One may think:
“I have my life.
My work.
My relationships.
Why must I know God?”
This appears harmless.
But it is not.
👉 It is the most dangerous assumption in human life.
The Reality of Suffering
As long as the soul remains turned away from God,
it remains under Maya.
And Maya has one function:
👉 To keep the soul bound.
This bondage is experienced as suffering:
From the body and mind.
From other beings.
From nature itself.
This cannot be escaped.
It can only be endured.
The Endless Cycle
If God is not attained,
the journey does not end.
The soul continues.
Birth after birth.
Form after form.
Experience after experience.
👉 Without reaching Him, there is no completion.
The Unavoidable Condition
The soul is not free.
It is bound.
Not temporarily—
But continuously.
Until it turns toward God,
it remains within this cycle.
The Value of Human Life
This human life is not ordinary.
It is the only state in which the soul can understand:
“I am bound.”
Other forms experience.
Only the human can question.
👉 This is the turning point.
The Realization
Now the truth becomes unavoidable:
👉 I cannot remain as I am.
But another truth also stands:
👉 I cannot reach God by my own effort.
This is the turning point of the journey.
So the conclusion becomes unavoidable.
Where This Leads
If the goal is necessary,
and self-effort is insufficient,
then one question remains:
👉 What is the means by which the soul reaches God?
