By God a man is afraid more of himself than anything else; every day he is struggling to construct a God first to suit him, only then to others. Thiruman Archunan More Quotes by Thiruman Archunan More Quotes From Thiruman Archunan Accident is nature’s way of starting a design; design is a man’s way of looking at the accidents. Thiruman Archunan In the court of reason man is always a claimant and God is always a respondent. The original intention of the reason for creation of God is to make Him as a respondent as and when the need arises. Hence when a man is in trouble his reason tries to save him by acting as an arbitrator; the reason sitting as sole judge asks the man for his claims and makes the God to respond. Thiruman Archunan A man actually has two Gods. The one, created him and the other, he created. Nature is not the first God but the first God exists in and as a part of the nature; a man with the help his reason creates a God against the forces of nature that are perceived to be as threat, hence the second God. The second God is the property of an individual mind that created it. A child has no reason and hence it has no second God; but it has the first God not yet known to it because the fear is not felt by the child! The first God is felt and known due to the fear ingrained in the instinct and the second God is the surrender and prayer brought out by the reason! Thiruman Archunan A man who evades his own conscience is a dupe. Thiruman Archunan Fear of nature led to society. Hatred among men led to culture. Envy among women led to virtue! Thiruman Archunan There is no dharma greater than a word uttered by a man of conscience; there is no karma greater than a man listening to himself! Since an intention precedes action, it should be the reference point for any action. Thiruman Archunan A man who lacks reason cheats himself repeatedly. Thiruman Archunan Over the years, the stories that men created became more important and influential than the men themselves. Hence born are the religions and many others. Thiruman Archunan Everything is as real as nothing, whatever way the nothing itself is defined. Thiruman Archunan Fear has thousand incarnations and of all belief is the most sacred one! Thiruman Archunan God is as real as mind and the mind is as real as nature. Thiruman Archunan Good and bad are not of different kinds but only vary in degree; both vary in quantity not in quality. There is nothing called quality but only a variation in quantity; a quality is an effect of varying quantities. This way a good becomes bad at a limiting point that is known to us; but a bad already became bad at a limit that is not known to us! Thiruman Archunan Human being is the only creature that is stupid enough to feel as intelligent and intelligent enough to understand its stupidity! Thiruman Archunan Human life is a series of mistakes justified by reason; there is no escape from it since the reason is the first mistake born out of a process subsequently understood as the very life by the very reason! Thiruman Archunan Life is a mind’s attempt to win over other minds as along as it thinks the other minds are different from it. Thiruman Archunan Love is a discovery, God is an invention. Thiruman Archunan Man is not the owner of mind but only a user. The nature owns mind, man hires only a small portion of it that too for a brief period. Thiruman Archunan Marriage is the best compromise between nature and culture. Thiruman Archunan Nature hides a man many things; but the man hides the nature itself. Nature decides when to show a man what; man decides what to show the society how. Thiruman Archunan Nature never allows man to understand it, however intelligent he thinks he may be. It tempts his reason by offering an initial success only to seduce and pull him on its side later, once for all. Finally, a man is left to sing the irrational songs of the nature! Thiruman Archunan
