Even an atheist can be a good person

Even an atheist  can be  a good person

(Completly based on the face book post  of  கங்கை சுந்தர்(Gangai Sundar) .My deep sense of gratefulness   )

An Atheist is also  a human being  within whom God is there,

But he is internally blind  and he realises  God just like  blind people,

A blind one  who feels  elephant’s feet   says Elephant  is like a pillar,

And when he tells  elephant is like pillar , he  is not telling a lie.

Suppose   that blind one feels    the ears   of the elephant  ,

He would say   that  Elephant   is like  a winnow   and if he feels,

Its tail  , he would say   that  elephant  is like a broom .

He cannot  see  and what  he feels depends on where he stands

Since  none of them can see  , all of them tell  the truth,  that they know,

When one says “yes”  and another   says “No” both are telling the truth,

When one person sees you from front   and says   that you have face ,

And another one sees you from back   and you don’t have  face both are telling the truth

But  each of them   tells only   one part  of the truth ,

Because  of their  limited vision  and only a person,

Who has  a broadest   vision can see   every thing  ,

And tell   the   complete   truth   about   any thing.

If we say  God is many   , then He  indeed  is many  ,

If we say  there  is only one God  , then indeed He is one,

If we say  He is there , then indeed  He is there  for you,

And if we say  He is not there. He is not there for him.

Everything  that   we know  is based on our belief,

And if we  realize this  , we would lead a happy pleasant life,

WE often hear  people  of Islamic faith   telling us  ,

That  we salute  the creations   and they salute   the creator.

Are we worshipping   stone and mud  created by God.

AS God  and answer is no, because  we worship their innate  spirit

Vedas say  that our soul is only  the all pervading  Brahman ,

And one who realizes it   does not speak about it  ,

And he  is happy   within himself  and that Brahman,

Atharvana  Veda  says  is the   soul in everybody’s mind.

That stainless  body less  Brahmam   is within  ,

The lustrous  mind   of every one   and those who know,

It as  light of lights   and resplendent  Brhaman  ,

Knows  everything  that is to be known says Mundakopanishad.

The Vedas  say   that this soul sd does not have  birth ,

Does  not die , does not have a form , does not grow,

Does not decrease  and cannot be seen by our outer eye,

And this  cannot  be seen by an atheist without an inner eye.

WE must be able   to keep our outer and inner  eye  open ,

And understand   that  even an atheist  is a good person,

AS even within him   God lives but  he is handicapped ,

AS he is blind  inside and let us pity him but not hate him.

But if his inner  blindness makes   him  feel that ,

There is no sin, no bad actions, anger  is good,

Cruelty is fine, being  proud   or jealous is okay,

Then  that person could be bad due to all  these  wrong beliefs
