Knowing God

Now I was watching a video posted by an atheist about debunking the claim of believers of Gods.
I was asked by my disciple how can we accommodate these people and don't they get punished by God?
Here is a story to tell you how all these religions and atheism and agnosticism works.
All the people in that group are blind and they come across an elephant.
One of them touches the trunk and says it is like a hose pipe, the other touches its ear and says it is like a big tree leaf, then the next touches the legs and says it is like a tree trunk, one touches the tail and says it is like a rope. Now they are not wrong at all since it is their individual perspective from their handicap point of view. So also God is seen by different people as per their individual tastes and observations. The others who guide them also give their own versions about God. Now if we have a person who does not want to believe in anything at all, he too has his own view point which cannot be discounted at all. he too is entitled to his own perspective and belief.
For those who believe in Him, can you say that it is not His world? If it is His world then I trust even the non-believers are His own creation. so why do we say that they are not worthy of His benevolence?
They are just His own and are following their own karma and vasanas( tendencies) and being very much His tool so why do those who believe Him discount these people also? Remember they too follow the diktats of the Lord so do not consider them as evil or God's enemy!
Now from the non believers point of view. If God is considered as Super Consciousness then how can He have a form or any such attributes which they can co-relate to? So they too are correct in their own assumptions that only when they have proof of His existence will they believe in Him, but Consciousness has no such tangible existence to know about, so their view point should also be considered.
In God's creation every little and large thing belongs to Him, so let us not blame the theist or atheist or any other person for following his own percepts.
Live and let live and become tolerant towards one and all.

nice blog overall ... I think the issue is not atheist / theist or belief ...

everyone of us feels the mystery of life, almost every moment and we created some metaphors like God, tat, Om etc etc. Everything's a metaphor for a deeper meaning ...

Our own pristine self is god.To find the true self needs persistency. Therefore some prefer to deny it.

@Arpana.You sure know it that the pristine Self is God.But to find that Self is the main task. Only a few have crossed it,hope you do too. God bless you.
