ATHEISTS TOO GENUINE THINKERS , NOT TO BE DESPISED ? – By N.S.Venkataraman<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

\"ATHEISTS<\/p>\n

\"N.S.Venkataraman\"From time immemorial,\u00a0 inevitably, people have been wondering as to from where they have come \u00a0\u00a0and where they would go after the demise ,when the body would be burnt or buried.\u00a0 Saints and religious scriptures all over the world\u00a0 have made earnest efforts to explain this phenomenon\u00a0 and in the process they have arrived at some postulates , that could not be proved beyond doubt \u00a0in a rational way<\/span><\/p>\n

These postulates \u00a0say that there should be a creator and there is a creator,\u00a0 who is \u00a0termed as God. Perhaps,\u00a0 the saints and scriptures \u00a0may \u00a0have come to the conclusion based on the\u00a0 thought process that no article or entity can be created without a creator .\u00a0 \u00a0Is it like the analogy that a pot cannot be made without a potter or a wooden frame cannot be made without a carpenter\u00a0 ?\u00a0 In the process, the postulates \u00a0\u00a0have led \u00a0to so many other derivative \u00a0postulates such as the existence of hell or heaven , fate , rebirths , miracle and so on.<\/span><\/p>\n

Any explanation better than no explanation :<\/u><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Certainly, these postulates may be viewed as\u00a0 vague and the non believers (atheists ) question such postulates .\u00a0 However, the logic is that if one were to argue that a postulate is wrong, then it has to be explained as to what is the other and convincing explanation. This is where the atheists reach a dead end\u00a0 and end up as stray thinkers. While the saints and religious scriptures\u00a0 offer an idea\u00a0\u00a0 and concept the atheists have nothing to offer.<\/span><\/p>\n

In such circumstances, billions of people who have \u00a0lived and passed away over several centuries and those who are still living think that\u00a0 any \u00a0explanation is better than no explanation. Wanting \u00a0to understand the phenomena of life and death, the \u00a0postulates of saints and religious scriptures\u00a0 have come to be accepted as appropriate by almost all the people\u00a0 around the world, \u00a0while the atheists remain as miniscule in number.<\/span><\/p>\n

Not a subject for debate :<\/u><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The religious scriptures and saints have gone a step\u00a0 further and tell everyone not to be a disbeliever and have faith and accept whatever has been said without question.\u00a0 This appears to be an acceptable suggestion for people who want to live in peace and move on\u00a0 with life , which is essentially a time passing exercise.<\/span><\/p>\n

The saints and scriptures simply declare that God is a concept \u00a0\u00a0that cannot be a subject for debate and human brain cannot visualize\u00a0\u00a0 and realise the concept of God .\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, further development is that\u00a0\u00a0 a few highly respected saints who also pass away like anyone else are considered as incarnation of God and worshipped as God and temples and places of worship have been \u00a0built for them. Does this amount to distortion of the God concept\u00a0 by ardent \u00a0followers? Is it not \u00a0appropriate to view the great saints as role models , instead of appropriating them as incarnation of God\u00a0 ?<\/span><\/p>\n

Limits of science and technology :<\/u><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Science and technology have succeeded in negating some of the traditional views held over centuries to some extent with discoveries such as the development of artificial intelligence, medical technology for prolonging life to some extent\u00a0 and even preserving the dead body for any length of time, cloning technology to\u00a0 \u201c create \u201c\u00a0 goat etc.\u00a0 However, such technology development\u00a0 do not go beyond a stage and it\u00a0\u00a0 do not explain what is known as nature and how nature happens .<\/span><\/p>\n

What do the scriptures say ?<\/u><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

There is no end to this story , \u00a0as the riddles have not been solved in religious scriptures and by saints in a way acceptable to the non believers over\u00a0 past thousands of years and unlikely to be solved at anytime in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n

A statement in\u00a0 Hindu Scripture Ashtavakra Gita put the record straight or not so straight but nevertheless say \u201c you are that –\u00a0 the Brahman\u201d. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0It\u00a0insists on\u00a0the complete unreality of the external world and absolute oneness of existence.\u00a0It says that Brahman alone exists and Brahman alone pervades everything from atom to universe and this Brahman is God that every human should strive to find within himself and\u00a0 merge the human mind d to the Brahman, so that nothing exist thereafter.<\/span><\/p>\n

All religious \u00a0scriptures essentially state \u00a0that \u00a0God is in every human and every human should reach the state of God by meditation, adhering to truth and\u00a0\u00a0 rejecting the lower\u00a0 nature and dissolving all the cravings \u00a0and thus achieving a mental state of bliss .<\/span><\/p>\n

Believers and non believers face the same predicament :<\/u><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

All people, whether believers or non believers , focus their life activities on achieving material gains and affluence in whatever way possible for them.\u00a0 Both the believers and non believers\u00a0 do not seem to be unduly concerned\u00a0 while going is good. Of course, in the event of death of dear and near ones , they wonder about the event of death but mostly it ends up as momentary thought for a few days only and they then proceed with their life pursuits in a normal way.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, in the ripe old age , the possibility of death looms large in the\u00a0 mindset and \u00a0inevitably everyone whether believer or non believer have upper most thought \u00a0about the birth \u00a0and death .<\/span><\/p>\n

In the case of believers, they \u00a0\u00a0try to\u00a0 calm themselves \u00a0based on their faith as enshrined in the religious scriptures and stated by saints. However, the non believers remain confused\u00a0 and uncertain. In any case, both the believers and non believers pass away helplessly and unwillingly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, should we applaud the non believers for their \u201coriginal thought process\u201d or applaud the believers for realizing their limitations and accepting whatever the scriptures say without questioning.<\/span><\/p>\n

The fact is that non believers are also genuine thinkers and though \u00a0they can be called as stray thinkers. In any case, let them not be despised.<\/span><\/p>\n
