Remember the famous socratic paradox ,,i know that i donot know ,i am the wisest man living for i know that i know nothing is the popular plato paradox given by Socrates .. Great ..very humble beginning for beginning of humbleness . Humbleness is the very start of opening up of learning with out any prejudices .On a deeper thinking most of us will be touched at one point of another about the glimpse of this feel that we know nothing in this vast universe and nothing is going as per any given comprehension of any of us ..the greater the knowledge gain the greater the feel that i know that i donot know ...Most of the time we are concluding that we donot know and seek Gurus from out side which create an excellent platform for conmen who take advantage of the gullibility specially in philosophical way of life . There by so many Gurus specially in indian conditions .. the moment you ask some thing there will be hundred guys answering your questions with out any logic or rhyme but insist on pure faith .Hence this stage in philosophy is a great perilous one as it takes the thought process back wards.
One has to have tremendous confidence in oneself accepting himself as Guru as Krishna himself told in Bhagavadgita that no one understood him thoroughly while having limitations of this birth as human,..No mention of Guru in any upanishats .. it is a fictional character ..But guru is a concept and every thing teaches every thing in this cosmic connect universe . Understanding existentialism and understanding the cosmic power itself is a great journey and has to be experienced and not explainable .
Having a strong belief system that there should not be any belief system is an excellent way of life ...and ohhh....lo....i am already leading to another profound paradox ..
Think of that ..
My conclusion is that the fifth phase of knowing is that i know that no body knows .. Got it ...
