Kedar joshi quotes

The sound of life has divine silence.

An atheist is as religious as a theist.

Man is an appearance, God is a reality.

Painful life is brutal and painless life is superficial.

I am convinced that an electronic machine, no matter how smart and intelligent, being still a mere spatial structure in concept, can neither innovate nor even understand the self-evident proposition: 'No spatial structure can be a representation of any feeling'. Such innovation can only be a work of a non-spatial mind, like a human being, and only such innovation, it should be acknowledged, can pave the way for further scientific achievements.

Pain is a poison; pleasure an intoxicant.

True love is like religion. It is full of devotion and free of doubt.

The bushes of love are blossomed through the manure of hardship.

I wish I can enjoy no food but food for thought.

History is an orphan. It can speak, but cannot hear. It can give, but cannot take. Its wounds and tragedies can be read and known, but cannot be avoided or cured.

In the midst of excitement, grief, joy, and solitude, I remind myself every moment that the sole mission of my life is to find 'the ultimate questioner' - that unimaginable who has put me in this madness to answer an unanswerable question.

At the heart of my metaphysic there is the ultimate question and at the heart of the universe there is the ultimate questioner.

Life is too meaningful to die.

Man is more social within than without.

So far we have done too much of 'spatial engineering'. The real thing is 'non-spatial engineering'.

Certainty is the most vivid condition of ignorance and the most necessay condition for knowledge.

Meditation should be the foremost technology of the 21st century; the technology of reprogramming the non-spatial universal computer.

God created the world to be praised on the subtle nature of his existence.

It is profoundly tragic that I am a slave, but it is profoundly joyous that I am God's slave, not that of a devil.

In reality the universe has no geometry.

It is impossible to imagine existence void of any intelligence.

The goal of science is to understand the fundamental reality and the goal of technology is to change that reality.

If God were to exist for the entire humanity, he would be profoundly vile, as he allows the existence of unfathomable sin, stupidity, madness, and misery for no reason than his own despicable enjoyment. God exists though, not for all humanity, but for a one chosen man - a philosopher - who is bound to answer the greatest philosophical question, the question about the nature of the questioner's existence, which progressively quenches the divine vanity.

If Krishna is good, Christ is good, Allah is good, then Hitler cannot be bad.

Vishnu came in the form of Hitler to be an inspiration for the Kalki to come.

In hell, the Devil is God.

God exists, though He defies reason.

The failure of the past philosophers is largely the failure to see the self-evident.

The existence of God is not logically necessary, and yet, on the basis of some profound peculiar empirical order in the universe, it seems that He exists as the ultimate uncreated Being, implying a paradox, as no logically unnecessary entity can be uncreated. This paradox is the ultimate question asked by God, who is nothing but the ultimate questioner.

The history of science is the saga of nature defying common sense.

My final destination is my complete knowledge of God.

I - a philosopher - live in the cage of flesh and blood.

I have no proof for any proof.

The worst insult I can inflict on life is that I do not reflect on its meaning.

What can be greater to life than to understand its meaning.

The word philosophy, as distinguished from science, is misleading, for it implies that what philosophy contains is impossible to be a systematic body of knowledge and what science contains is certain or proved.

He is man whose heart is spirited and eyes are wet each moment on account of the sorrow, compassion, virtue, beauty, and nobility that decorate this world.

My existence is such that "I" do not really exist. At the end of understanding so much I understand that I know nothing. I suffer for being surrounded by intense suffering and yet I'm deeply suspicious if first of all there is indeed any consciousness except me. I strive to find the artist who might have fathered this great universal art but feel myself to be too feeble to accomplish this seemingly unattainable mission. Yet I have every respect for life, and it is this sheer respect that makes me live.

The worst of all superstitions may be that astrology is a superstition.

Optimism is the staunchest worshipper of life.

For Man nothing is beyond doubt; for God everything is beyond doubt.

They often say, "What's the point in astrology if you can't change your destiny?" Well, it's true that you can't change your destiny, but still it helps knowing about gravity.

The more I find life to be a great design, the more I suspect it to be singular in existence; the more I suspect it to be singular, the more I feel it to be specific and personal; the more I feel it to be personal, the more I think of it to be a mere question; And the more I think of it to be a question, the less I understand the questioner.

Most of the history is a divine work of fiction.

If God is in Heaven, Hell is empty.

Passion is the soul of youth.

Any systematic body of knowledge is science. The more systematic the body of knowledge is the more scientific it is.

God is a philosophical black hole-the point where reason breaks down.

Humanity is the crime; God is the criminal.

The world is a garden of philosophy. God is its gardener; Man is the visitor. And any tree that does not bear fruits of philosophy either does not belong to that garden or is yet to be grown.

The world can never be in the state of right order, strong government, and good influence unless London is truly and literally established as its capital.

Gravity is neither a force nor a consequence of any space-time curvature. It is simply an orderly spatial illusion to non-spatial observer/s.

One of the great intellectual mistakes Einstein made is that he thought that space and time are physically or ontologically entangled. In the present non-spatial universal computational program, space and time happen to be entangled to the extent that, under certain unique circumstances, changes in spatial measurements indicate changes in temporal ones. However, a change in the program itself may cause space and time to disentangle.

The stem of greatness sprouts from the seed of sacrifice.

Genius is the ability to see the self-evident where the rest of the world turns blind.

Every noble action is selfish. Some selfish actions are nobler than others. But they are all selfish. And as such there can be no action purely noble anyway. Even the nobility in God's great philosophical intentions is bounded by his vanity.

The most fundamental tragedy of my life is that the ones who I see do not exist and the one who exists I do not see.

Man's greatest battle is being a true philosopher.

Philosophy is the only excuse God has for his cruelty and vanity.

The meaning of life is 'the ultimate questioner's vanity.'

Life is painful to be meaningful.

If the universe is a non-spatial computer, a 'time machine' is a program that allows a user to have the same (ontologically non-spatial) feelings or experiences that occurred or s/he merely feels to have occurred in the past, with an in-built function to have different feelings or experiences than those of the past, and thus creating a possibility to change the past or to rewrite history in a pseudo sense.

How miserable a solipsist is! It is rather senseless for him to even assert his belief in solipsism, for, on the one hand, if his belief is false it is like committing intellectual suicide, and, on the other hand, if his belief is true it is an act of intellectual insanity.

Moral certainty is intellectual immorality

Life, by which I mean my life, is a great, or probably the greatest, design, from its very beginning to its end, the end that, I think, is unlikely to exist. Each and every bit of life is a part of the design. Design exists as the consequence of the ultimate questioner's vanity. And my mission is to find the most fundamental truth, which probably and exclusively involves the nature of the existence of the ultimate questioner.

God is the ultimate philosophical questioner, the one who asks the logically paradoxical ultimate philosophical question about the nature of his own existence.

Expect of Man God, and he will appear to be a beast. Expect of Man a beast, and he will appear to be God.
