If we don't see, does it exist ?

I came across this puzzle and was captured by its imagination.  There are a lot of things we don't see but it exist and does this applies to all other phenomena.  It can go into a very scary dimension.

A lot of people is saying when you don't see, you don't believe but there are also a different wisdom ie what we see may not be true or according to our belief or visual.

Lets talk about what we don't see like " the wind".  We cannot see wind with our naked eye but we feel the wind, so it exist.  We cannot see  " cold " but we feel cold. So, we extend further and question ourself , we don't see GOD but does it exist.  Do we feel GOD ? Yes and No.  Some people can feel GOD and so they believe it but others are less fortunate and they don't feel the presence of GOD. So, they don't believe it . Of course, many followed the intuition of others who have felt the presence of GOD.  So, if there is GOD , then there is Satan or the Devil. If there is something Good , then there is something Bad, there is two sides to a coin. So, the belief goes.

Then, is it true when it comes to love.  We cannot see love, right ? Does it exist ? Yes, Love can be felt through our feelings. But, we are unsure how deep is our love.

I have came across a Dharma talk and there was this question from one of the guest . If someone proposed to us, how shall we decide . The learned Monk told her that she should flip a coin. It is strange way to decide ,right  ? But , the Monk told her , the flipping of the coin is not important but it force us to search our heart and make a decision. It is only a mean and not an end.

If it is head, we will have to face ourself , are we ready for marriage or is the love is deep enough or are there any other considerations ?  It will force us to face the decision of the coin. If it is tail, then we also have to decide when we are going to accept the decision of the coin.  Both sides, we have to make a decision . It is not by the coin but by ourself.

So, our belief is concluded by what we see and what we feel . But what about other senses  ? Yes, it has a different role to play.

Lets be open and sharpen our senses and do the right thing for ourself and others.

Namaste.
