Recommended Posts

Hayagriva dasa: In the realm of philosophy and religion, Dewey believes that certainty is impossible. He writes: “Any philosophy that in its quest for certainty ignores the reality of the uncertain in the ongoing processes of nature, denies the conditions out of which it arises.”

 

Srila Prabhupada: There is uncertainty when you do not accept the eality. The reality is God, and God explains how nature is working. If we do not accept His explanation, our position is very precarious, very uncertain. But if God comes and reveals Himself and His activities, and we consider them mythological, how can we be convinced? How can we ever be certain?
