[edit] The great delusion

We do miss something. We dig into popcorn bags and watch the movie with tears in our eyes. Sad, because Trinity has to die, Neo goes somewhere and so on. We laugh when the things less engaging. We continue to dig into popcorn basket all the same. Freeze the frames and think for a while. What is this whole thing all about?

Wisdom of the expert. Wisdom of the crowds. Both are same to a large extent. Both believe in exactness of their beliefs. It is not much different than a computer embarking on an independent journey to answer its own existential doubts.

[edit] The Eternal Quest

I hear a voice you canot hear,

Which says, I must not stay;

I see a hand you cannot see,

Which beckons me away.

-Tickell

Four kinds of of persons, it is said, seeks Knowledge. The distressed, the inquisitive, the seekers of knowledge, and those who are in need of money. They all set forth about in the quest of knowledge.

O best among the Bhāratas,
four kinds of pious men begin to render devotional service unto Me
— the distressed, the desirer of wealth, the inquisitive,
and he who is searching for knowledge of the Absolute.

-Bhagavad-gītā As It Is 7.16
