INTRODUCTION OF AN ATHEIST

"It is difficult to see God as formless.... and It is difficult to see God as a form! The formless is too abstract and God, in a form, appears to be too limited. SO SOME PEOPLE PREFER TO BE ATHEISTS."

However, Atheism is not reality- It is just a matter of Convenience! When you have a spirit of enquiry, or are in search of the truth, atheism falls apart. With a spirit of enquiry, you cannot deny something you have not disprove.

An atheist denies God without first disproving God! In order to disprove God, you must have enormous knowledge.... and when you have enormous knowledge, you cannot disprove God! For one to say that something does not exist, one should know about the whole universe! So you can never be an atheist a 100%. An atheist is only a believer, who is sleeping! In fact, an atheist is someone, who has a concept of GOD!

For a Person to say, "I Don't believe in anything!"- It Means he must believe in himself! An atheist can never be sincere because sincerity needs depth, and an atheist refuse to go to depths because the deeper he goes, the more he finds a void- a field of all possibilities....... and he then has to accept that there are many secrets, he does not know.

He would need to acknowledge his ignorance, which he refuse to do, because the moment he is sincere, he starts seriously doubting his Atheism. A doubt-free atheist is next to impossible! So you can never be a sincere and doubt free Atheist.

WHAT DOES AN ATHEIST DO, WHEN HE REALIZE HIS IGNORANCE? WHERE DOES HE GO? DOES HE GO TO A GURU? WHAT DOES A GURU DO TO HIM?

Atheism is when one does not believe in values or in the abstract. So what happens, when an atheist comes to the Guru? what happens when you come to the Guru?

You start experiencing your own form, and you discover that you are in deed formless, hollow and empty.... and this abstract "non-form" in you, becomes more and more concrete! The Guru makes the abstract more real. The perception of love- not as an emotion. The formless spirit shines through every form in creation, and the mystery of life deepens, shattering atheism. Then the journey begins..... and it has four stages:

1. Saarupya: Seeing the formless in the form, i.e seeing God in all forms.

2. Saamipya: Closeness, i.e. feeling absolutely close to the form, you have chosen, and reaching out to the formless.

3. Saanidhya: Feeling the presence of the divine, by which you transcend the limitations to time and space.

4. Saayuja: When you are firmly entrenched in the Divine. It is then that you realize, you are one with the Divine. There is a complete merging with the beloved, and all duality disappears.
