Guest guest Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 I do not insist that a person should have faith in God. I refuse to call any person a Naasthika (an atheist). Being exist as a result of His will, in accordance with His plan; so no one is beyond His grace. Besides, everyone has love towards some one thing or other, and that love is a spark of the divine; every one has ultimately to base his life on some one truth; that truth is God. No life can be lived out in complete defiance of truth; one has to pay heed to truth ad speak the truth to some one in order to make life worth living. Now, that moment is God's moment and at that moment when he utters the truth or loves, or serves or bends, he is a theist. It is not even Bhakthi that is essential. It is love, truth, virtue, the eagerness to progress, to serve, to expand one's heart, to take in the whole of humanity in one's love, to see all as forms of the divine consciousness. - From Swami's Divine Discourse in Mylapore, Chennai on 18th March 1958.
