The Highest Triumph of Human Knowledge
I have to admit that I have visualized Nibbana. Though, I have established that proposition, till now I have not given the sufficient evidences about my visualizing Nibbana. As you know, Nibbana can be visualized by the highest triumph of human knowledge. That is the knowledge of Arias. Nibbana is the goal of Buddhist. So, after we had practiced seriously and after had done a lot of sacrifices concerning the worldly affairs, emotional desires and sentimental pleasures, then that is the power which can realized the nature of Nibbana.
Before I am trying to give evidences about my visualizing Nibbana, I want to say something like that in the history of Science. Once upon a time, the theory of Einstein was not understood more than two persons except Einstein himself. That is the true story. Now, many a thousands understand this theory well. When we try to analysis this history, it is not because of the weakness of Einstein?s theory itself, but because of the limitation of other people?s scope and limit of their knowledge about that subject.
Here, so also, when most of the people are not taking interest in Buddhism, they will not have the fundamental idea of Buddhistic teachings. Consequently, they can?t understand the existence of Nibbana. Some scientists even they do not make hypothesis about the existence of Nibbana. From my point of view, that is the contradictory idea because on one half they want to have the highest triumph of human knowledge, on the other they do not take interest in the existence of Nibbana which can be visualized by the highest triumph of human understanding about the Nature, about the Human beings, about the role of Human beings in the universe and about the Universe itself; what we call 31-Planes of existence. So here, we must have some knowledge about the idea of contradictions between the desire to have the highest triumph of human knowledge and visualizing Nibbana. Insight, we realized the nature of Quark; so to say, but Nibbana is very hard and we cannot make any nearest connection or relation between the Quark and Nibbana. Nibbana is the most difficult noble element to realize it?s existence. And also, I have studied well and I can explain that kind of knowledge concerning the noblest element like Nibbana. Nibbana cannot be observed through instruments or apparatus. But, we can realize it by the practice of Mediation. As you know, this age (may be the scientific age) they want to use instruments and they don?t rely on Human potentialities absolutely. With the result, when they try to observe the true nature of particle minute details, their instruments disturb the observation. Principle of Uncertainty is the evidence of this statement.
So now, science is essential to widening its scope in order to have the highest triumph of human knowledge. And also, it is badly needed to widening the scope and limit of scientific knowledge. In this case, we are to take consideration whether we try to observe the true nature of phenomenal world and nominal world by the help of instruments only. From my point of view, using instrument is not the one and only one method to know the true nature of the noblest element of all kinds. So, scientist should make some hypothetical assumptions to realize Human?s potentialities and possibilities, to know the real nature of Human beings, Beings, Universe and also the role of Human beings in the universe. That is the fundamental idea that I want to say before I?m trying to explain and giving evidence of my visualizing Nibbana.
(This idea can be traced from Hawking's Books)
