Embracing the Divine Silence: Unraveling Existence’s Mysteries

Each one of us encounters the eternal riddles of existence, when answers elude the realm of conventional understanding. We are constantly searching for the meaning of life, trying to comprehend the nature of suffering and the order of the world, yet we often discover that the answers lie hidden deeper than what words and reasoning can offer. This inevitable darkness of questions is not a sign of lacking wisdom, but rather a confirmation that the essence of being is expressed in the language of desires and feelings, not through logical arguments.

At the very heart of the human quest is not a demand for a direct answer but an invitation to delve into the mystical depth of existence. Even when we pose questions about the creation of the world or the nature of justice, our dialogue with the Divine often takes shape in silence. That silence is not a refusal but a gentle reminder that not all enigmas can be resolved by words. Our desire—akin to a primordial feeling—allows us to perceive the world in its purest essence, where every moment of seeking transforms into an act of faith, love, and inner transformation.

In conclusion, it should be noted that the absence of direct answers does not render our questions meaningless. On the contrary, the eternal strive for the truth hidden behind a veil of mystery is a call to continuous self-discovery and spiritual growth. It is in this endless quest that the beauty and depth of human life are encapsulated.

What important questions for a person remain unanswered by God?

The fundamental responses are missing when questions concern the very mystery of existence, the nature of suffering, and the structure of the world. Man is continuously questioning the meaning of life, the origin and essence of suffering, and the justice of the world, yet the answers remain concealed. For instance, one quote explains that it is precisely our nature that separates us from direct answers:

"For you find yourself in the darkness of endless questions for which there is no answer. Yet you forsake everything for the sake of desire, and it confirms to you that the Other desires your desire. And then all questions receive an answer without answer. The meaningful functions without signs. There exists only the language of exaltation, the language of desire. The language in which an infant speaks when sucking its mother’s breast. The language in which lovers speak in the silence of 'one flesh.' The darkness of these questions is the natural distance that separates man from God. It always remains apart from God, not by place, but by nature. It is precisely our nature that distances us from the answers to these questions." (source: link txt)

Another source shows that the reluctance to discuss certain questions may be understood by God Himself, who, by posing examples through questions about the creation of the world, demonstrates His Omnipotence and the elusive nature of truth. Thus, in a lengthy discourse where God Himself raises questions about the creation of the earth, the seas, and life, it is emphasized that it is not so much the pursuit of specific answers as the unveiling of the mystery of His design:

"As if wishing to serve as an example, God Himself, in His speech, asks questions. The entire lengthy discourse of God (36–42) is nothing other than a series of questions through which He intends to express, on the one hand, the mystery of existence, and on the other—the fullness of His Omnipotence. 'Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Speak, if you know'..." (source: link txt)

It is also noted that not all questions require an answer. The fundamental importance lies in the act of seeking itself rather than in the possession of a direct explanation:

"When I ask all these questions of God, I do not receive an answer. But this is not the former 'There shall be no answer!' It is not a door slammed in one’s face. Rather, it is a calm, clearly unsympathetic glance—as if He shook His head not in a sign of refusal but as if unwilling to discuss the question. As if saying, 'Calm down, my child, you do not understand.' Can a mortal ask God questions to which He does not deem it necessary to respond? And very simply, I believe. Foolish questions do not demand an answer." (source: link txt)

Thus, the most important questions for humanity—those concerning the meaning of existence, the nature of suffering, the questions of justice, and the origin of the world—remain without a direct answer from God. They carry not so much a demand for explanation as an invitation to faith, trust, and an endless search for truth through the very act of being. These unresolved questions highlight the mystical and unfathomable nature of the relationship between man and God, leaving each one to seek answers deep within their own heart.
