Scepticism

Knowledge Sutra

Ignorance is being a sceptic and not knowing it. If you think you are a sceptic, you are no longer a sceptic! You already have a clue of something beyond. So, in reality, you can never know when you are a sceptic!  A sceptic is stuck in a paradigm that closes off all other possibilities. But this creation contain all possibilities. As you understand how paradigm shifts, scepticism drops. A real scientist can never afford to be a sceptic because scepticism will not probe into unknown areas of existence. Scepticism is an “I know it all” attitude, and this attitude is unscientific. Scepticism is dispelled by knowledge.

Do not recognize someone’s scepticism and try to argue. Arguments only strengthen scepticism. Fear of losing one’s freedom brings more resistance and causes more scepticism.

Deep inside every human being there is faith and love – Scepticism is only a thin layer. If you hold in your mind ‘This person is sceptic’, you only empower his or her scepticism. Your silence and the smile from your heart will dispel any scepticism. There is nothing better than silence to break it. Silence means a quality of consciousness, not just keeping your lips tight.

Scepticism comes only in people who walk with boundaries. Children have no scepticism. They live in their fantasy worlds, worlds of many possibilities. Their worlds are of innocence, joy, beauty and love.
