Marko, When we deal with the mind then we have to stick to its parameters and naming is one of them of what is known to the mind.  You therefore cannot bring in something beyond the realm of the mind and then apply mind's rule to it.

dear Anbu
I agree that it makes no sense. That is the magic of the unknown. How
can you know? You have no way to know. Mind only can know and you are
not the mind, you have no way to know anything.

Marko
