D: Research on God has been going on from time immemorial. Has the final word been said?
M: (Keeps silence for some time)
D: (Puzzled) Should I consider Sri Bhagavan's silence as the reply to my question?
M: Yes. Mouna is Isvara svarupa (Silence is the form of God).
D: Buddha is said to have ignored such enquiries about God.
M: And, for this, he was called shunya vadin (nihilist). In fact Buddha concerned himself more with directing the seeker to realise Bliss here and now than with academic discussions about God etc.
