THE VEDANTIC POSTULATE

The unexplained factor is the Sat of Chhandogya. It is as sublime an act of Omnipotence to create an atom which can create a world and a law which makes it to do so, as to create the fully evolved world by a fiat. Darwin himself has said this in beautiful words in The Origin of Species,    he law of cause and effect, which we have derived from our observations of the material world, must be taken to have no application when we look for the Ultimate First Cause of the Universe.

At that point we must cease to ask for a cause and surrender to the inscrutability of the Ultimate.  The non-believer may argue that if he is asked to accept Iswara as ever existent and no questions should be asked about a prior cause for that First Cause, he may as well rest content with universal matter and the physical forces that govern that matter as ever existent and that we need not posit Iswara behind the universe.
