Greetings and respects,
My question is: Is complete knowledge of the greatest mystery of creation the knowledge of the human being itself, or is humanity only one part of it?
Through self-interpretation and self-exegesis, human beings come to solve the greatest mystery of existence. In a sense, the human being is like a map: by following its paths, we arrive at the solution. Solving this mystery—which may have many dimensions—is the beginning of a deeper exploration into the ocean of existence’s answers. As we solve it, we ascend to a higher level.
Through interpretation and deeper reflection, the human being will come to solve the greatest riddle of existence. In truth, the human being is like a map: by following its course, one can reach the solution. This great riddle may take many forms: from solving one part of it to grasping it as a whole, from resolving a particular instance to understanding it in its textual form, from a shadowed understanding to one illuminated by light. To plunge into the very heart of the answer to existence’s riddle is to begin the first of all journeys: the dive into its depths.
Of course, the aim is not limited to a single riddle. This is framed in terms of human capacity and potential; by solving this riddle, the human being will ascend to a higher stage.
