![[Everything Shii Knows]](/mediawiki/skins/common/images/wiki.png)
The word "God" on this website is not used to mean a personal God. I would condemn strongly anyone who claims that what I consider the "will of the Universe", "Brahman", or "Tao" is anthropomorphic. Christianity and Judaism are in the minority for supposing the existence of this kind of God-- even Islam does not imagine such things.
- A certain kind of Agnosticism is the final truth of all knowledge. For when we come to the end of whatever path, the universe appears only as a symbol or an appearance of an unknowable Reality which translates itself here into different systems of values, physical values, vital and sensational values, intellectual, ideal and spiritual values. The more That becomes real to us, the more it is seen to be always beyond defining thought and defining expression. [The Upanishads say] "Mind attains not there, nor speech." And yet as it is possible to exaggerate, with the Illusionists, the unreality of the appearance, so it is possible to exaggerate the unknowableness of the Unknowable. When we speak of It as unknowable, we mean, really, that It escapes the grasp of our thought and speech, instruments which proceed always by the sense of difference and express by the way of definition; but if not knowable by thought, It is attainable by a supreme effort of consciousness. There is even a kind of Knowledge which is one with Identity and by which, in a sense, It can be known.

- Do we not seek, though all this confusion, something permanent, something lasting, something which we call real, God, truth, what you like--the name doesn't matter, the word is not the thing, surely.
- Krishnamurti, The First and Last Freedom
