What is the claim of those who refute God?—“One cannot obtain food if one remains idle in the name of God. It is only through labour does one earn his bread. While it is so, how and where does this entity called “God” step in? Theism is only a way of encouraging idle minds.” The atheists speak so only because they have not rightly comprehended the teachings of religious scriptures. How can religion that demonstrates God encourage idle minds? Religion never advises, “Be idle. Do not perform any work.” Failing to rightly comprehend or blindly refusing to appreciate the teachings of religious scriptures is not the fault of the Religion!
Well! Let us take up their viewpoint! Even if one accepts their claim ‘one earns his bread through his own effort without the Grace of God,’ is not a power required to place the food in the mouth, swallow and digest it? Can this body function without that power? It is verily that power we call God! If one argues that the food digests automatically the question arises ‘does the dead body drink the water or eat the rice placed in its mouth?’ No, it does not! Why? That ‘something’ which was within the body activating it has now left the body. That ‘something’ which the activating force is verily the divine power called God!
Can a dead body eat, smell, see, hear or feel? Therefore, one cannot refute that there certainly is a God who activates this body.
