100 things I don’t know-

Some of these listed things, I pretend to know but they are only in decimal measures

I have divided them into categories of Articles, Beings, circumstances and Peace.

This is just a small glimpse. My ignorance is so vast- this whole life can be spent narrating it.

So far though, this is what I came up with. This list keeps on evolving. Somethings I’m ok with not knowing but as the list goes down to Beings and Peace — that is something I’d really like to KNOW.

Listed ABC’s if i don’t know, doesn’t matter.the big question is-

Will I know Brahman?
