faith requires no reason

Hinduism professes no
false certitudes. Its capacity to express wonder at Creation and simultaneously
scepticism about the omniscience of the Creator are unique to Hinduism.
Both
are captured beautifully in this verse from the 3,500-year-old Rig Veda,
the
Nasadiya Sukta or Creation Hymn:
Then there was neither non-existence nor existence,
Then there was neither space, nor the sky beyond.
What covered it? Where was it?
What sheltered it? Was there water, in depths unfathomed
A
Charvaka School, goes so far as to embrace atheism within the
Hindu philosophical framework.

At the same time it is remarkable how the ten avataras of Vishnu, the
Dasavataras, seemingly chart the course of human evolution two millennia
before Darwin, starting with Matsya (the fish), and proceeding successively
through Kurma (the tortoise), Varaha (the boar), and Narasimha (the half manhalf lion) to more recognisable human forms, Vamana (the dwarf) and
Parasurama (who wields a great axe), then perfect men who are worshipped as
divine (Sri Rama and Sri Krishna), then the Buddha (an interesting inclusion, of
which more later) and finally Kalki, who is yet to be born, a brilliant youth on a
white steed with a devastating sword, encircled by flames, who represents the
destruction of the world as we know it.

The Catch of the Mundane World
At a glance, the Earth world seems like a beautiful place to live in forever. The neverending entertainment, the exciting challenges it presents, the romantic aspects, the scenic views, the monetary wealth, the power to be famous or important person…there is so much to see and do and absorb.
However, behind every beauty also lies the downside. Our mundane world is never free from epidemics, terminal illnesses, natural disasters such as tsunamis, earthquakes, typhoons, hurricanes, droughts and famines.

What Is The Non-Mundane World of Existence?
In our non-mundane world of existence (also known as “lokuttara“, supermundane, supramundane), everything is relative and beyond the true reality of living.
Dimension is limitless.
Time is motionless.
Space is infinite.
Life itself is always peaceful, serene and vibrant in our mind, heart and body.
An inner joy is always prevailing in the nonmundane atmosphere.
No more worrisome of the mundane activities, no more restlessness of any sudden changes in worldly phenomena. A constant bliss of happiness and life is full of contentment and joyful feeling. Such is the lokuttara atmosphere of entering into the realm of immundane world of existence.
