The Wisdom of Not Knowing: Sacred Doubt and the Lost Skeptics of India

from Deep Dive With Richa Sojatia · host DEEP DIVE PODCAST

Imagine a philosophy that refuses to answer — not out of ignorance, but as a form of wisdom. In this episode, we explore the Ajñānavādins — ancient India's radical skeptics — who believed that the greatest violence was pretending to know what cannot be known.We also connect their radical doubt to the spiritual practice of Nishkama Karma — acting without attachment to results. This is a story about silence, humility, and living wisely in uncertainty.🎧 Listen now to ‘The Wisdom of Not Knowing’ — only on Deep Dive.
