According to Wisdom Quarterly: American Buddhist Journal: In Buddhism, the Buddha spoke of four things that should not be contemplated for too long as they would sooner lead to derangement than to a sensible solution:
"There are these Four Imponderables that should not be pondered because to do so would cause one to become vexed and mentally unhinged.
- The range of [influence of] a buddha is imponderable and should not be pondered because to do so would cause one to become vexed and mentally unhinged.
- The range of jhana of a person immersed in meditative-absorption [the powers one is able to obtain by way of the absorptions]...
- The [mysterious] working out of karma...
- A first cause or origin of the world...
"These are the Four Imponderables that should not be pondered because to do so would cause one to become vexed and mentally unhinged."

What are imponderables?
The plural noun 'imponderables' is a word for the answers to the most perplexing and amusing mysteries of everyday life that drive us nuts. We never find the answers because we don't know where to look or because we become preoccupied with other annoying things, like going to school or doing our jobs. for example : Why do pirates love parrots? Why is Friday the 13th considered unlucky? How did prehistoric people learn to use words?
