I also like to look at the dynamic that takes place between religion and science because, in a way, both are asking the same questions: Who are we? Where do we come from? Why are we here? Where are we going? The methodologies are diametrically opposed, but their motivation is the same; the wellspring is the same in both cases.

Quatrain #228 - What science knows today is........
What science knows today is likely to be laughed at tomorrow
as mankind uses science like religion to eliminate all its sorrow.
The association of science and religion now then is evident more than ever before
as we realise they can compliment each other and lead us towards a better shore.

The Heart
Each heart has a somber chamber
where Melancholic days are stored.
Those never to be forgotten
Times baptized with life’s anointing tears.
Passing years of joy and sorrow
Both have found their place in the heart.
Though diametrically opposed
Each holds permanent residence.
When joyful manifestations
Dance to the beat of happiness
Sorrow waits in its sad chamber
For inevitability.
When it arrives joy surrenders
Uncomplaining into limbo.

The Lab, The Expriment And Me
Science is very impersonal
Science would exist without me
Science does'nt exist within me
The lab is outside me
The experiment is outside me
The success and failiure is very much mine-
The next in line after me-can
start exactly from where i left.
Religion is very personal
Religion would'nt exist without me
Religion is born within me
The lab is within me
The experiment is done on me
There is no success or failiure
There is no one behind me-
Everybody else are beside me.

Motivation
Love isn’t any motivation
Wealth isn’t any motivation
Health isn’t any motivation
Create not more confusion
Inspiration and motivation is a pair
Imagination follows and is near
Near enough to make you desire
Near enough to make you crave instead of tire
Like the nutrients that enhance the growth of a plant
Motivation is the force from your self within
The invisible voice urging you to win
Motivation is when you make it routine
To implement actions to show you are keen

Always Asking Questions
We all want peace we dont want misery
So many of us wont let us be these things
But we only are confused
We feel stronger as we grow older
But still we feel bemused
Always asking questions
Were always asking questions
And the temptation is to just step back
Well we give what we lack
We will always be asking questions
Why rich?
Why poor?
Always asking questions
Were always asking questions
Why this?
Why that?
Were always asking questions
Why this?
Why that?
Always asking
Dont stop asking
Dont stop asking questions
Always asking questions
In answer to this question is just shut up
You dont know
I dont know
Nobody knows
This is an answer to every question
This is a place to begin
Always asking questions
Always asking questions
Why this?
Why that?
Why this?
Why that?
Always asking questions
(why this why that? )
Always asking questions
(why this why that? )
Always asking questions
(why this why that? )

How is it that hardly any major religion has looked at science and concluded, “This is better than we thought! The Universe is much bigger than our prophets said, grander, more subtle, more elegant?” Instead they say, “No, no, no! My god is a little god, and I want him to stay that way.” A religion, old or new, that stressed the magnificence of the Universe as revealed by modern science might be able to draw forth reserves of reverence and awe hardly tapped by the conventional faiths.

There are naive questions, tedious questions, ill-phrased questions, questions put after inadequate self-criticism. But every question is a cry to understand the world. There is no such thing as a dumb question.

Sand In My Face
I looked in the mirror
(what did you see looking at you? )
I saw a nine stone weakling
(what will you do? )
Dynamic tension waiting for you?
Dynamic tension make a man out of you
I opened my magazine
(what did you see? )
I saw mr. france
(what did he have? )
A girl on each shoulder
(what else? )
And one in his pants
Dynamic tension can do this for you
Dynamic tension make a man out of
You you you you you
So our hero goes down to the beach
Hes in real terrible shape
His chicks been seen with big alex
That mother kicked sand in his face
Now let me tell you about alex
Hes got:
Hands like hams
Knees like trees
200 lbs
Of surfboard hercules
Mr. atlas wont you bring her on back to me
I lost my girl down by the beach
Shes with alex and shes out of reach
So please mr. atlas wont you bring her on back to me
I saw your body in an advert on t.v.
But what convinced me was your money back guarantee
Now Im stronger than alex
(where is he now? )
Hes left in disgrace
(oh yeah? )
'cos I took back my girlfriend
(ha, ha, ha, ha)
And kicked sand in his face
(in his eyes, in his ears, in his nose)
Dynamic tension waiting for you
Dynamic tension make a man out of you
Dynamic tension, dynamic tension
Dynamic tension, dynamic tension

Beast Of Field
“Do unto others, as you would
have, others do unto thee.”
Praise be to Allah.
Praise be to Jah.
I would I could ascend
free of this world of men.
Suddenly if humanity started living
in accordance with Divine Laws.
Humanities’ problems would dissolve
like snow under summer sun.
Humanity must achieve
conceptional spiritual massed transition.
Instead of fever creating doomsday
weapons. Designed to indifferently
dispense diabolical death.
Fault designed commercial machines
spare part increase corporal margins
false deceit gain fever sacred profits
amassed by wealthy rich industrialists.
Knowledge must serve faithfully
not rent repulsively deceitfully destroy.
Serve humankind entire race family
not self serving ego miser philosophy.
Engineered by hoard cretin manipulators
who manufacture profit epidemic war.
We must strive endeavour earnestly,
to truly try solving technological
nightmares; capitalist communist
religionist; insanity craving gravity
greed created poverty inequality.
To blame God for global problems,
generated by exploitative human
greed deceit; is childishly ridiculous.
Power coveted lusts; depravity initiated
by misguided; callous crazed human
beings; were sick source stagnant cause.
Biblical Man, was supposedly created,
as a perfect; humane thinking reasoning
being. Not as beast of season dependent
field. Thoughtless, depraved individuals
among us. Who fail to live, orientate,
toward our ultimate creation destiny.
Have failed to strive, spiritually aspire,
to help attain, fulfillment; of humanities,
their own life lesson learned destinies.
Spiritual enlightenment is anthrophied.
Evolved scientists and religionists
must appreciate, consider each others
passionate professional pursuits.
Merge science with moralistic religion!
Such fields of inspired endeavour. Are
not necessarily diametrically opposed.
Being corporeal parts comprising one
creation. Both constitute vital symbiotic
components. Incorporated throughout
the same interlocking universal theme.
We continue to probe discover new
dimensions pertaining to conceived
reality. As we cast aside numerous
proceeding obscuring doctrine veils,
still obstructing concealing divinity.
Unraveling laws, defining, observed nature.
Our world each separate universe.
Religion Science must work in Harmony.
New discoveries constantly prove.
God’s science creation laws are not opposed.
Understanding of universal principals
Physics gear shifts interchange linkage grows.
Albert Einstein stated this formula perceived
engraven from universal lore written below.
“Science without religion is lame
Religion without science is blind.”

Allah is the name of God in the religion of Islam, though usage is not restricted to Muslims. Arabs of all Abrahamic faiths, including Mizrah Jews, Bahá'ís and Eastern Orthodox Christians, all use the name Allah in reference to God. Allah is also the name of God in Bahasa, used in Indonesian Christian Bibles.
Jah is God’s name as written in Exodus 15.2, Psalms 68.4 and 146.1, Song Of Solomon 8.6, Isaiah 12.2 and Revelation 19.1.

Unzipped, Flipped and Plucked
Unzipped,
Flipped...
And plucked.
Sometimes,
That is what it takes,
To break down barriers.
And introducing a rawness.
Removing that which is fake...
To sweat and eliminate,
The mistake of misunderstandings!
And getting what takes place,
Face to face,
In a nakedness that is bare.
And inspires without distractions.
Addressed by the motivation,
Of undressed flesh.

We talk about a secular state in India. It is perhaps not very easy even to find a good word in Hindi for "secular". Some people think it means something opposed to religion. That obviously is not correct. What it means is that it is state which honours all faiths equally and gives them equal opportunities; that, as a state, it does not allow itself to be attached to one faith or religion, which then becomes the state religion.
