22. If we give God a shape,then the question arises as to what is outside of that.If He has no shape,we can be rightly be inquisitive about His whereabouts To say that He is here,there and everywhere,serves to cloud our understanding beyond repair or redemption. #GOD

23. Idol worship is clearly built on loose soil because the very admission that it is only a symbol shows that it is not God. Then where is HE? Why so elusive? #God

24. The only thing very clear about Creation is that it is an absolute mystery, all religions notwithstanding. #CREATION

25. If truth can be realised only after reading a thousand or ten thousand pages of religious text repeatedly, that is bad introduction to Truth. #Truth

33.Guarded secrets are like forbidden fruits.#secrets

34. Posthumous awards are instances of belated recognition. It neither gives the doer the benefit of satisfaction,nor does it confer the intended benefit on others,till the time of recognition or perhaps does never ,if that is too late.#posthumous

35.Nothing ordained fails & nothing clicks unless destined to. And yet we can't sit pretty.We have to foam and fret in the name ofplanning for the day and for tomorrow. This is ironical.#

37. Power of limbs,eyes and ears are the same for all generally unless handicapped.But power of brain vastly differs. You can ask a person,why don't you see, hear or speak,but not why not understand,because understanding is based on brainwork.#brain

38.Rockets at ground level may enable superfast travel,which is not the need of the hour. Rockets at an angle may help hit neighbours-- again not desirable.Vertical rockets to explore other planets,also seem pointless.We have't yet learnt to live peacefully on Earth.#rockets

47. If God does not know what is happening, that is bad. If He does not care, that is worse. If He silently keeps note of everything man does ,

or fails to do,& holds him answerable for all that, at a later date ,in this or the next birth, that sounds very unfair .#karma

48. Man is born w/o his knowledge/consent,& propelled by inbuilt instincts and battered by external circumstances. So to keep a minute

account of the activities of this innocent one, label it as karma &hold it liable for punishment if necessary, sounds harsh and unethical. #karma

50. Good times and bad times promptly keep their appointments . #goodtimes
