[quote]Loveall I have to appreciate ur quality to accept ur mistake.
Though you show a bit approval of the previous when u define things.
I would rather say [b]questioning[/b] and [b]negating[/b] is the first step to understanding.
Anyway, ur argument about "fear" as the base of "taqwa" in the following words
[quote]
By the way, if we do not proceed on the literal meanings of Taqwa, PRACTICALLY only those can guard (Waqa) against evils who have an absolute fear of God. [/quote]
is a bit limiting a very vast quality of human character excellence.

Keeping in view of all the human's major lusts in view, we can assume that fear is the tool that can be used to keep him away from these sins
but 
Dont u think that caring/love/commitment to God is the stronger tool, which if one uses can not only be misled but would also strive for excellence in character. Coz if you believe in someones highness and you owe commitement/care/attachment to him/her you not only obeys him/her but you also try to show [b]effeciency[/b].

And this "effeciency" actually drives us forward and gives us way not only to have better life after death but also progress in this world.
