#41. God and sugar.
If THE SUPREME POWER is formless, all pervading, all knowing and all powerful….then why so many names
and forms; qualities and attributes???
Sugar is one but the sweets are many. They differ in color, texture, intensity of the sweetness, forms
and names. Yet they are all made from the one and only sugar.
In the same way people have their preferences in everything they use, they wear and they eat.
The religion gives them the choice to select the god the person wants to worship.
After all no one loves to live a CHOICE-LESS-EXISTENCE! Do we???
#42. Watchmaker and the world.
To fix a watch we must know how to do it. Or we need some fundamental knowledge about it. In other words, the person who fixes a watch is MORE intelligent than the watch. Otherwise he won’t be able to fix it!
The man who created the watch needs even more knowledge about it. Otherwise he could not have made the watch. More complex the watch …more is the background knowledge needed to create it and to maintain it in working condition.
The creation is so wonderful and so varied. Everything starts growing from a seed and it knows how much to grow and when to stop growing. Who puts all the information inside that tiny seed?
Smaller the device…. more complex will be its mechanism! Just imagine how much on knowledge is needed to create each and everything we see, and maintain them in perfect order.
So there must be a MASTERMIND behind everything we see.
We ignorant and humble pagans call it as God and allot it so many forms, names and attributes. We admire, adore and worship the supreme knowledge which governs everything and maintains PERFECT order.
If people want to slight it, degrade it, deny its existence, defy it and call it a product of fancy and fantasy, it is their wish. But this is NOT going to affect the supreme power in anyway.
God is the watchmaker of the world.
#43. An Advice to the youngsters.
“Marry by all means.
If you get a good spouse, you will live happily.
If you don’t, you will become a good philosopher.”
Explains what makes a person a philosopher, perfectly!
Socrates had a bad tempered wife. She never realized his true greatness which the whole world could see.
One day Socrates was talking to a friend and his wife was making thunderous noise inside the house.
Then she brought some water in a pail and threw it on Socrates.
His friend was bewildered.
Socrates said nonchalantly,
“Friend don’t you know that a shower always follows a thunder?”
No wonder he became one of the greatest philosophers of all times.
#44. A riddle from real life!
Two friends had a misunderstanding.
The first fellow turned his face away and said,
“I don’t talk to dogs”
The second fellow smiled and said,
“But I do. Oh come on!”
The first fellow said, “I won’t sit with dogs!”
The second fellow said, “But I will. Take a seat”
The first fellow said, “I won’t eat with dogs!”
The second fellow said, “But I will!”
and ordered food for two.
So who is the one who labels and who is the dog?
Are they one and the same or not???
#45. “Have a seat please!”
An enormous lady got into a crowded bus.
She expected to be offered a seat.
No one budged – since she may need not just one,
but three seats to accommodate herself.
She started glaring at everyone.
One timid fellow got up and said very solemnly,
“Madam, Here is my humble contribution towards your seat”
