A blind man on the busy road

Unthinkables, How?

Conjecturing about the beginning of the universe, and the results of kamma
Conjecturing about the range of the Buddha, and the range of meditative Jhāna
The four unthinkables, the four unconjecturables, the acinteyya
Knowledge of all the four only to a perfect one, the Buddha
Because of clear vision, laser-like focus, tarnishing of all fetters and hindrances
For an ordinary person, even limitation of knowledge about childhood
Then, how about the knowledge of past births till the beginning of the universe
Hence, entrance of insanity, the madness, the crushing over of the mind, when intent for such exploration
When such exploration without proper stillness of mind (samatha) and then without proper clear seeing (vipassanā)
Not only conjecturing, but “no conjecturing” about the four acinteyya too, a hindrance, or even the same field of madness
Because still contact with, or immersion in the acintyya

The results of kamma with an origin, in the beginning of the universe too, continuous now and then
Sustenance by bhavataṇha, the craving for continuous existence, but impersonal existence a brake
A body, a mind, a result of kamma too, now and back to the beginning of the universe
So, I-making, mine-making, or (upādāna) attachment with anything in the world, attachment not with some part
But an attachment with a whole universe, again, the cause of madness, the exhaustion of mental resources and energy
Then everything as a source of madness? No choice, only despair, but not so
Current state of an object (dhātus), current feeling from object and detachment from object (anātta) now, and forever, and much more within dhamma
As a consequence, development of third eye, for the real nature of existence, i.e., anicca, dukkha, and anattā

As a consequence of unthinkableness of the origin of the universe, the one with full realization of which too, an unthinkable
Although the dhamma, the laws of righteousness for everyone, but wrong grasp of the dhamma for no one
So, every teaching of dhamma, from short to long discourses, and supernormal powers like mind reading, etc.,
Neither an object for pondering upon, nor an object for not pondering upon
Before sufficient training and realization of the same
What else? Just sīla, samādhi, and pañña

Same for the range of meditative Jhāna, before proper realization and understanding of the same
Again, without proper knowledge, an ordinary worldling like a blind man on the busy road
