God alone is the judge of all our acts.He alone can extend proper rewards or punishments for our deeds.To accept His existence and of the individual soul,we need full belief in scriptures.The vedas, which exist from time immemorial,disclose the presence of the Almighty,the soul and of virtue.Righteous conduct alone can keep society in a disciplined manner.If it is argued that righteousness depends on strength,the mightier man can wipe out the less mighty.Hence mankind has to stand bya principle,other than mere physical strength, to govern the world and "Dharma"will sustain it.This follows that we have to obtain release from bondage,through His grace,which is the last word in scriptures.We should know about His majesty,splendour and supremacy.Nothing is greater than spiritual wisdom and there is none greater than the Lord,even according to His own proclamation.
In a lecture Sri sathyapramoda Thirtha of Utharadhi Math touched on the divergent views held by the atheists and believers in god.The former deny everyhting except those which can be perceived by the senses."We see the world and our body but not our soul and hence we do notaccept the existence of the soul"they say.Apart from the body,they admit of only the elements World,fire and water,not even of ether,not to speak of sound.They disclaim "Dharma".They do not accept any code of conduct or creed except to live happily,borrowing money from others,without the necessity to return it because the soul is destroyed with the body.This philosphy of the materialists will only promote anarchy.On this plea even the wealth of a preceptor can be plundered by the disciples.This will not be conducive to society.Their contention is that if one can not lift a stone,two can and thus a number of elements can produce the soul.Those who abide by the vedas reply that the elements are insentient and hence admit the existence of the individual soul apart from the body.
