Fifth Note to “Botkhana Neshin Hastam”

In sum, it is either an enigma or a mystery – or it is futile and meaningless – that we can approach and come close to God’s mind, but we cannot enter it and penetrate it. It’s all normative and subjective. Why care? Why should it even matter? As Hawking said, if we could enter it and penetrate it, then we’d figure out everything and we would know everything. But it’s a matter of normative and subjective preference and taste to desire and to want to unravel or uncover the enigma and mystery or to just simply write it off as futile and meaningless and that it’s simply pointless and not worth the energy and time to figure out and to know. If we can’t fully know it, then why care and make a fuss about it? It’s about the meaning we place into all of it. It’s about the meaning we place into the cosmos. It either has some sort of meaning behind it, or it doesn’t. One can even argue that there is no inherent or innate meaning in any of it. It’s about the meaning we choose or decide to place on all of it. And of course, given the sheer subjectivity of all of it, art and contemplation are equal and tantamount to science and technology when it comes to deciphering or determining the meaning of all of it.
