My dear Gopalakrishnan, I am not running any tuition classes for you to learn so easily. I know what I am doing. I have proved this many times. You have to find out for yourself what its name is. Your quora is wrong. Full stop. Either you shall earn by yourself , when trying to post error free as far as possible to the posterity or learn from others and be modest. Never expose your ignorance on the materialistic side and the aviveka on the spirituals side and blabber joining hands with the only chink cha singaporian. He is useless. Not knowing is not a crime; even there are mo0re things I may not know; but be modest; think you are zero; and start your day; the SUn shall shine bright. If you don't want all that to happen and you want to nag people, others may be quiet , but not myself. My respect to you shall be discharged fully by you or else you may have to face the foolish paradise. Search and find it for yourself. Yes People do read not because I am egoistic, but because I share humbly. Thank you KR IRS
