First sentence: Well over three thousand years ago, philosophers in India, in the Rg Veda (the oldest of those holy books called the Vedas), contemplated the nature and origins of the whole of reality ("Brahman"), concluding, with considerable skepticism, that reality as such was not, or at least not normally, known by us, and perhaps it could not be known at all.
