Atheism — the best form of worship!

I am playing a game of chess with someone and his moves are such that it makes me think beyond my capacity. And as each move of my opponent is such that of intelligence, I try to prove that my expertise is far better than his and I keep thinking and thinking and thinking. I am thinking deep or rather you can call it as deeper insight. And the more I think, I am convinced that the opponent is so intelligent that he has made me think out of the box to deeper zone of intelligence. In the past, I always thought only about those that were on the surface, but there are lot of facts left unattended in the deep and I think about them too.

What if I say that the opponent with whom i played is none other than God and the game of chess is none other than Life. Yes, it is God who creates an atheist. And it is only an atheist, who by trial and error gets convinced that God exists and the conviction is so much that none can break down his conviction.

A blind believer might in some point get deviated from the path of believing in God. But not an Atheist, for he must have had thousands of questions or doubts on the existence of God and as he progresses in life, he would seek the answers for it and thereby clear all the dark clouds that stood as a barrier to know God. The one who is rational always has firm faith in God.

There is a difference in A and B. A is the one who would have the photo of a God or Goddess or may be the photos of all the possible Gods and Goddesses that he knows, lights the lamp or may be join his hands and pray, burn the incense stick and so on before accomplishing a task. B is the one who doesn’t care about lighting the lamp or incense stick or Photo but is very particular about accomplishing the task assigned to him in the best possible way. Both are worship, the one which is adopted by A and the one which is adopted by B.

I have seen many who say that the method of worship adopted by A is wrong. And even I have thought the same way, but it comes into my mind that if A or if people with the similar mindset as that of A, stop doing what they used to, like no burning incense stick, or no lighting the lamp or no praying in front of the God or Goddesses photo, if it was so, what would those traders do who sell incense stick or framed photos of Gods and Goddesses or oil for the lamp or candles and what not. That too is necessary.

So, both ways are necessary, A would have different kind of experiences in life and gradually move ahead with his way of worship. While B, would reason or rationalize and with his practice, try to prove or justify the best way of worship.
