Sri Aurobindo on Atheism

[Guest guest]

Atheism is a necessary protest against the wickedness of the Churches

and the narrowness of creeds. God uses it as a stone to smash these

soiled card houses.

 

The Atheist is God playing hide and seek with himself; but is the

Thiest any other? Well perhaps, for he has seen the shadow of God and

clucthed at it.

 

Do you hate the atheist because he does not love God? Then you should

be disliked because you do not love God perfectly.

 

Someone was laying down that God must be this or that or He would not

be God. But it seems to me that I can only know what God is, and I do

not see how I can tell him what he ought to be. For what is the

Standard by which we can judge Him? The judgements are the follies of

our egoism.
