Continuing the subject, I propose the notion that the word "doubt" or "skepticism" is contrary to the word "certainty." Just as certainty has different levels, doubt and skepticism also have different levels. It might be said that suspicion is the highest stage of doubt and skepticism. The destructive effects of suspicion are significant; many families have been torn apart due to unfounded suspicions, friendships have turned into enmity because of suspicion, and much blood has been shed due to suspicion, among many other examples. Therefore, having certainty in every matter plays a very important role in the life of every individual.

It has been stated that the best way to end doubt and skepticism is through awareness (knowledge of certainty). I believe that the foundation of life must be based on knowledge and awareness. The art of living lies in being aware of the true meaning hidden in life. Living recklessly is like shooting an arrow in the dark. The primary reason for so much turmoil among humans in the present age is because it has reduced the true meaning of living to material existence.

The word "awareness" is synonymous with enlightenment. If we are not aware of certain matters, undoubtedly doubt, skepticism, suspicion, and even negative thoughts will arise. Let me give an example: many aspects of physics were previously unknown to humans, but when humans turned to knowledge and research, the unknown became known. Therefore, the only way to overcome doubt and skepticism is through awareness. I don't know where I read this example, but it's very beautiful. It has been said that a person in the dark, upon seeing a rope, imagines it to be a dangerous snake blocking his path and becomes terrified. He tries to find an escape route, but when the light comes on, it becomes clear that what he thought was a snake is nothing more than a mere rope. Having certainty or reaching certainty is akin to enlightenment. Imagine how a blind person can have certainty about their next step. A person who lacks knowledge and awareness is unaware of their next step; apparently, everything is unknown to them, and they make no effort to overcome this ignorance.

Lacking complete certainty in spiritual matters has more negative effects than lacking certainty in worldly matters. Many of us worship God for many years without knowing who God is, and for this reason, the knowledge of divine unity is the highest blessing that a person can achieve as a result of certainty.
