Who knows whence this creation had its origin?He, whether He fashioned it or whether He did not,He, who surveys it all from the highest heaven,He knows—or maybe even He does not know.— Rig Veda, X.129 1‘Maybe even He does not know!’ I love a faith that raises such a fundamentalquestion about no less a Supreme Being than the Creator of the UniverseHimself. Maybe He does not know, indeed. Who are we mere mortals to claim aknowledge of which even He cannot be certain?
