A Flaw In Our Logic

[Guest guest]

Jaya Guru Datta,

 

Here is today's saying:

 

“Let us extend this logic to the treasure we see in our dream. We do not

consider it to be real even during the dream period. We deny its existence even

for that period. We catagorically say 'the treasure did not exist even when we

were seeing it in the dream'.

 

Therefore, there is a flaw in our logic because, in one place we say that the

existence is real because we are seeing it, and in another place we say that the

existence is unreal although we are seeing it! If something we see were to be

really existant, then we must accept that the treasure we see in the dream

should exist too. If we accept, then we should be able to show the treasure. If

it is not possible to show it, we must be in a position to answer questions such

as 'where did it come from?', 'where did it go?' etc., etc. Obviously there are

no answers to these questions. Therefore it can be firmly said that the treasure

did not have real existence."
