We have to come to the point where we accept that at least in Divine theory, we don’t really know anything at all. Then we can start to learn the philosophy of Divine love from Swami Prakashanand Saraswati. If we are saying 'why' at every step, then there is no chance. Even in this material world we cannot learn any thing like this. If we put "why?" at every step then its not possible to gain any kind of knowledge, even in this world. It is necessary to accept our limitations and shortcomings at least in that topic. We might be wise in other topics.
Suppose you have got a Master’s degree and you went to learn piano: how to play with your fingers - what keys to play etc. The piano teacher was an ordinary man who was not as literate as you. First you accepted that you don’t know anything about piano playing. You believed that you were foolish in that topic and accepted whatever he said. When the teacher said "OK, put your finger up here" - you didn’t say "Why?". You accepted. "This is A, this key is called A." "Why it is called A?" - You didn’t ask this. Because you went in full faith, then you learned. We don't ask questions like this in the world. In learning any topic, it is necessary to take all the "whys" outside the door and come to the teacher and learn. But in Divine subjects we always ask "Why?" because we always think we are right. It is a human weakness that we never think that we are wrong. Sometimes we accept our mistakes in hindsight, but we always think we are right at present - even if we are 100% wrong. In spiritual matters, we should accept our limitations and trust in the teachings of the spiritual master.
