I am an atheist, I do not believe in god, I believe in some higher source of energy and I am not religious. These are some of the statements that we often hear from rational people living in modern society.
However, these same very rational people also say oh my god, my god, for god’s sake a hundred times. This is the reality of the society we live in, but still majority of us are not ready to accept that we remember supreme source or almighty on a daily basis.
If we dwell deep into human consciousness and ponder, then we might find that in reality all of us are always in search of some kind of protection when we are in a crisis. As humans it is obvious that our defence mechanism starts working the moment we are into a problem and under such a situation our eyes automatically move upwards towards sky, our hands automatically get folded involuntarily or knowingly we start praying for help to that infinite source who is the protector of all.
Psychologists through their research over the years have found that every human being whether he is an atheist or not, get solace as they take a prayer position, because they experience as if they are under the canopy of the almighty’s love and affection.
Then why do we shy away from the fact that we are very much attached to god? Is it our lack of realisation or is it peer pressure to follow what majority do? Whatever be the reason, the fact remains that soul and supreme soul are in separable and hence its futile when someone says that I don’t believe in HIM! If that’s the case then why oh my god?
