IRRATIONAL MAN

Man, who calls himself a rational creature, is at times so irrational that he cannot distinguish between what is glaringly ugly, false, mischievous and devilish from what is honorable, just, beautiful and divine. This is not so because man lacks the quality and faculty to differentiate between the good and bad or between the ugly and beautiful, but solely because man is unwilling to labor a little to find out the real truth. At other times, when man does find the real "Truth" he does not stand up and recognize it as he should, but tries to escape from his discovery under family, community, country and other general considerations, taking refuge under these pretexts to save himself from having to face the discomfort of incurring the displeasure of his family and friends. This little awkward situation one is confronted with too is no more valid in the Western countries where nobody now cares who believes in what, since most people do not believe in anything. Thus for them God has made it easy to accept the Truth, if only they will.
By failing to recognize the truth or by not aggressively upholding the Truth, man indirectly becomes instrumental in letting "falsehood prevail and persist" despite his discovery of the Truth. Man generally tries to adopt the course of least resistance and thus lets falsehood gather momentum. On the other hand there is also no rational stand for those people who, when they find many things in their books and in practice unacceptable to their rational minds, commit even greater blunder by "abandoning": their reasoning faculty altogether by denying the very existence of God. By denying the existence of the Greater and Master of the entire cosmic Universe, one can find no solution to any problem with which one is confronted. One cannot deny for ever the "fundamental reality" and be at peace. Peace is "denied" to any one who is not at "peace with his Master". In fact the Master does not deny us anything. It is man's mind and his reasoning faculty, which denies him the peace he seeks because he is unnaturally forcing his own mind to accept what his subconscious mind knows fully well, to be wrong and "opposed to the reality of the great Truth".
If we deny God, we are then obviously denying the very "purpose and objective of life itself" which is granted to us. It means that we deny "the whole Universe around us". The atheists say, "If the universe was created by God, who created God" but you ask them if God did not create the universe who created it? They will say, "It existed from infinity". So in their stupidity, they answer their own question because if universe could exist all by itself from infinity why can't God be existing from infinity to infinity. Hence it also means that we deny all that is beautiful and orderly in life, thereby denying all authority, all laws, all moral codes, and all principles of ethics, all sense of justice, all love of fellow human beings and finally all rights of others.
