The World is Round

It is interesting when you talk to an Atheist (someone who disbelieves in the existence of God). Because by definition an atheist should be someone who assumes complete responsibility of his success and failures. For him/her it has to be about doing it himself/herself or with the help and/or partnership of other individuals.

And then lets consider believers. They believe that every thing that happens does happen out of the will of God. They can be susceptible to avoid taking responsibility in the name of God. Basically blaming their failures on the wish of God rather than their own actions. Now let's consider the Sanatan Dharma philosophy of Aham Bramh or Aham Bramhāsmiti (अहं ब्रह्म अस्मिति) which means I am God. This in a way should lead believers to the point that you are supposed to assume responsibility of your actions, success and failures.

Isn't it interesting that both atheist and believers are saying the same thing in a different way. For me, a believer, the message is loud and clear - Take Responsibility of your actions, look inwards for the help of God and see your reality change. It also drives another important point for me, which is; the world is round and there are infinite ways to reach your goal. Do not get bogged down about what is the right path, who's path is better etc. It does not matter. Enjoy your destination and your journey too.

May the power of God be with each one of us.
